Nvidia’s New Multi-Frame Generation: A Game-Changer for Gamers and Creatives
What is Multi-Frame Generation?
Nvidia announced its lineup of new RTX GPUs at CES 2025, and alongside the new DLSS 4 with pathtracing, the tech giant revealed its new feature, Multi-Frame Generation. This new technology can generate up to three additional frames for every traditionally rendered frame, leading to games having eight times faster frame rates with little draw on memory.
How Does it Work?
Nvidia has demoed the tech on Warhammer 40,000: Darktide, and the new Multi-Frame Generation tech increased performance by 10% and used 400MB less memory, running at 4K resolution. For creatives, such as animators, it means scenes can be navigated smoothly with greater fidelity, with four times as many frames, and 3D content can be rendered at 60fps or more.
Benefits for Gamers and Creatives
The new AI-driven model really does sound like the answer to so many pressing issues as gamers demand higher frame rates at 4K and developers spend time and money on performance issues. Multi-Frame Generation is said to be 40% faster with 30% less video memory used, and needs to only generate one frame to render multiple subsequent frames.
Supported Games and Launch
There are plans for Multi-Frame Generation to support 75 games at launch, including Cyberpunk 2077, which maxed out at 238fps on an RTX 5090 with DLSS 4, and this is with full raytracing. The full list can be found on Nvidia’s DLSS 4 blog.
Limitations and Requirements
The new Multi-Frame Generation will only be supported on Nvidia’s new RTX 50 range of GPUs, so you’re going to need to upgrade to get that massive frame rate boost.
Other Improvements and Features
There are also improvements to DLSS Ray Reconstruction, DLSS Super Resolution, and DLAA – these make use of transformer architecture – a deep neural network model – the same as found in AI models like ChatGPT, to make advances in motion rendering.
3D Modeling and Animation
Away from pure gaming, there’s reason to upgrade. The new GeForce RTX 5090 GPU looks like a 3D modeller’s dream – it has 32GB of GPU memory, larger than any previous GeForce RTX GPU, and a 33% increase over the GeForce RTX 4090 GPU. This means 3D artists can create larger, more detailed models and worlds and run multiple applications simultaneously. Nvidia claims the new RTX 50 series can run 3D applications 40% faster than previous Nvidia RTX GPUs.
Conclusion
Nvidia’s new Multi-Frame Generation is a game-changer for both gamers and creatives. With its ability to generate up to three additional frames for every traditionally rendered frame, it can lead to games having eight times faster frame rates with little draw on memory. Supported by 75 games at launch, including Cyberpunk 2077, and requiring only one frame to render multiple subsequent frames, this technology is set to revolutionize the world of gaming and 3D modeling.
