Nvidia announced DLSS 4.5 with a new 6x Multi Frame Generation mode for RTX 50-series GPUs, featuring improved image quality and reduced artifacts, with availability for all RTX GPUs and enhanced performance for high-refresh-rate gaming, expected in spring 2026.
NVIDIA has updated its G-Assist tool, reducing its memory usage by 40% and expanding support to all RTX GPUs with 6GB+ VRAM, while also enhancing the NVIDIA App with new features like Smooth Motion support for RTX 40 series, improved DLSS options, and additional control panel settings, available to beta users from August 19 and to others a week later.
Microsoft and Nvidia are collaborating to enable the Copilot AI assistant to utilize Nvidia's RTX GPUs, enhancing the performance of generative AI applications on Windows PCs. This partnership aims to expand the range of AI workloads processed locally on PCs, leveraging the widespread presence of RTX GPUs. The move is part of a broader industry trend towards AI PCs, with Intel, AMD, and Qualcomm also introducing new processors with integrated neural processing units (NPUs) for AI tasks.
NVIDIA has introduced the RTX 500 and 1000 Ada Generation GPUs, designed for thin and light laptops to assist with AI processing, offering up to twice the ray-tracing performance and fourth-gen Tensor Cores for accelerating deep learning training and AI-based creative workloads. These workstation GPUs, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture, provide up to 154 and 193 TOPS of AI performance, respectively, and support DLSS 3 for upscaling tech. They are set to debut this spring in laptops from Dell, HP, Lenovo, and MSI.
Nvidia has introduced a new feature called RTX Video HDR for all RTX GPU owners, which uses AI to convert SDR color space video to HDR. This feature is part of the latest Game Ready driver release and works in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. It requires an HDR10-compatible monitor with HDR enabled in Windows and is available for download from Nvidia's website. The feature leverages the tensor cores in RTX cards and is part of Nvidia's AI-powered video enhancement suite, alongside RTX Video Super Resolution and DLSS.
Dell is offering discounts on their Alienware x14 and x16 gaming laptops as part of their Black Friday Sale, with savings of up to $800. These laptops feature current-gen RTX 40 series GPUs, ranging from the RTX 4060 to the powerful RTX 4090. The x-series laptops are the thinnest and lightest Alienware laptops ever, competing with high-end ultra-thin laptops like the Razer Blade. The x14 and x16 models offer different configurations, with the x16 having the most powerful options. While the GPU performance is similar to the M-series laptops, there is a slight compromise in CPU performance. However, the sleek design and portability make the x-series laptops worth considering, despite being more expensive than the M-series.
Nvidia is bringing generative AI processing to Windows PCs using RTX-based GPUs, enabling better AI capabilities on over 100 million Windows PCs worldwide. The integration of AI into major Windows applications has been a five-year journey, with Nvidia's Tensor Cores driving the generative AI capabilities. Nvidia has also released tools to assist developers in accelerating large language models (LLMs) and has introduced enhancements such as TensorRT-LLM and RTX Video Super Resolution (VSR) version 1.5. The combination of these technologies opens up new possibilities in productivity and improves the user experience for LLM use cases.
