Nvidia has announced the release date for DLSS 3.5. The interesting fact is that the launch date has coincided with the update to Cyberpunk 2.0, the game’s patch drop, which is about to happen on September 21. Moreover, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is going to be released on September 26, which is the latest addition from the CD Projekt Red. The announcement was made by Nvidia at Gamescom, so you do not have to wait too long.
Now, let’s walk you through a more detailed explanation of Nvidia’s DLSS 3.5.
DLSS 3.5 – Explained
You can get three variants, DLSS 2, 3, and 3.5, and you would be surprised to know what technological advancement can do. All Nvidia RTX graphics cards will have DLSS 3.5, so you do not need to wait for the RTX 40 series GPU. Based on the announcement, DLSS 3.5 Cyberpunk 2077 will also be available on GeForce NOW.
With its implementation, you get ray traced shadows and reflection, along with higher frame rates. Also, based on the requirements of the system requirement for Cyberpunk, you do not need to modify or put pressure on the graphics settings.
So, get a closer look at the most important feature that comes along with DLSS 3.5.
Ray Reconstruction
DLSS is meant for Ray Reconstruction, where AI and deep learning are used for improving and sharpening the images. This feature does not affect the GPU or exhaust it. Rather, you get more frames, and also the gameplay improves. Along with that, the ray reconstruction also improves artifacts, which you can view through ray-traced tiles. So far, frame rates have been given importance, but now the focus also turns to image quality.
Along with a shift from technical and manually tuned denoisers, DLSS 3.5 also helps you combat issues such as ghosting. It is actually thought to be a shift towards the Nvidia supercomputer-trained AI network, where you get the application of AI to generate high-quality pixels.
How does Nvidia differ from AMD in terms of DLSS 3.5?
When we compare Nvidia with AMD, Nvidia takes the lead. Most of the games, such as Party Animals, Chaos Vantage, Portal with RTX, Alan Wake, etc., use DLSS 3.5. You get the best performance from Cyberpunk 2077, which is going to use DLSS 3.5. Moreover, with time, DLSS is also going to get a new version and also go higher up in the advancements. Interestingly, Nvidia Omniverse, which is the devs platform of the company, also supported DLSS 3.5.
Will DLSS 3.5 be available on AMD or Intel GPS?
No, there has been no announcement or confirmation from Nvidia that DLSS 3.5 will be available for AMD and Intel G2. However, AMD uses its own technology, FSR 3.0, which is available cross-platform for AMD cards and Intel GPUs.
Will the RTX 30 series get DLSS 3.5?
Yes, definitely, the announcement has been made by Nvidia that all RTX 30 graphics cards will have the capability to use the DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction feature. You can also include the latest generation 30 series cards in the list. But, Frame Generation, which is considered to be an integral part of the process along with DLSS 3.0, a key part, has been limited to the RTX 40 series cards.
