NVIDIA Revolutionizes Gaming with Dynamic Multi Frame Generation

NVIDIA Introduces Dynamic Multi Frame Generation with DLSS 4.5

NVIDIA has recently activated a groundbreaking feature in the realm of video gaming: Dynamic Multi Frame Generation (DMFG), available with DLSS 4.5. This technology allows artificial intelligence to generate up to five images out of six, radically changing the way images are produced during gameplay. The system dynamically adapts, adjusting the multiplier in real-time based on GPU load and screen refresh rate. This innovation is exclusively available for RTX 50 graphics cards and can be activated through the NVIDIA application.

How Dynamic Multi Frame Generation Works

DMFG operates similarly to an automatic transmission for frames per second (FPS). It constantly monitors GPU load as well as the target refresh rate of the screen to adjust the multiplier between ×2 and ×6. For instance, during complex scenes requiring path tracing, the multiplier increases to maintain fluidity. Conversely, during static scenes or menus, it decreases to avoid unnecessary latency. This approach allows for optimal framerate maintenance without overloading the system.

Compared to the fixed ×4 multiplier of DLSS 4, DMFG offers a significant performance boost. NVIDIA reports a 35% increase in FPS at 4K path-traced when moving from ×4 to ×6. To manage latency, which can often be problematic with high multipliers, NVIDIA has integrated Reflex technology. DMFG is also backward compatible with existing MFG integrations and can be easily activated via the NVIDIA application without requiring updates from developers. However, it is important to note that the technology is currently only compatible with DirectX, leaving Vulkan aside.

Test Results: Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy

To evaluate the performance of DMFG, we used a configuration including a RTX 5090, an i9-14900K/i9-12900K processor, 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 4K 240 Hz G-Sync display. In Cyberpunk 2077 on RT Ultra mode, DMFG performed as expected, with smooth transitions between multipliers and no noticeable micro-stuttering. Although latency was slightly higher at elevated multipliers, the game remained responsive.

In contrast, Hogwarts Legacy presented issues. With our i9-14900K configuration, the system inappropriately switched to ×5/×6 multipliers, causing visual artifacts at the edges of the screen during camera movements. This issue was absent with the i9-12900K processor and was not reported by other users using a Ryzen 9800X3D. NVIDIA has been informed of this bug, and a driver update may resolve these issues. For now, it is advisable to configure DMFG on a per-game basis, as the global override option is not yet functional in the beta drivers.

Measured Performance Across Different Games

Tests conducted on our RTX 5090 at 4K (2160p) resolution yielded impressive results:

• Hogwarts Legacy with Ray Reconstruction and DMFG x3-6 achieved 249 fps with a latency of 36 ms.
• Dragon Age: The Veilguard in DLSS Performance mode and DMFG x3-x6 displayed 228 fps with 41 ms latency.
• Cyberpunk 2077 RT Ultra ran at 245 fps with a latency of 53 ms.

In each of these cases, DMFG fluctuated between ×3-4 and ×6 depending on load, with transitions invisible to the naked eye. Latency remained below 55 ms for all tested games, ensuring optimal responsiveness thanks to the integration of NVIDIA Reflex.

Activating DMFG and Game Compatibility

To activate DMFG, it is necessary to update the GeForce (Game Ready Driver) via the NVIDIA application. Once this is done, simply follow these steps in the application:

• Go to the Graphics section, select your game, then navigate to DLSS Replacement.
• Choose the Dynamic Image Generation Mode, set the target FPS to the maximum refresh rate, and set the multiplier up to 6x.

To check the active multiplier during gameplay, use Alt+Z to access Statistics, then Alt+R for the view. To force Preset B on compatible games, use the same menu in the Presets section.

More than 200 games are currently compatible with DMFG, including popular titles like Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077, God of War Ragnarök, and S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. However, this technology is reserved for GeForce RTX 50 cards. For users of RTX 40 or lower, the fixed ×4 multiplier remains the current limit.

Dynamic Multi Frame Generation represents a major technological advancement, delivering performance that seemed impossible not long ago. It demonstrates how AI and software can transform the gaming experience without requiring hardware upgrades.
