Honestly, I'm not sure, at least regarding the wallet-busting RTX 5080 or 5090 for now. While we’re still awaiting actual performance results, there's a strong chance that DLSS 4 will prove to be a massive benefit to the older GPUs.

NVIDIA's RTX 5000 range of graphics cards pack a huge punch. But one of the biggest improvements of the new GPU range is the addition of DLSS 4, which promises better frame generation and upscaling to make your games feel as native as possible.

NVIDIA unveiled the RTX 5000 Blackwell GPUs at its CES 2025 keynote, with four models set to launch sometime later in Q1. The RTX 5070 and 5070 Ti are aimed at the mid-range, with NVIDIA touting heady gains on both cards — the brand says the 5070 will deliver equivalent performance to the RTX 4090 thanks to the gains made with DLSS 4's multi-frame generation tech.
