NVIDIA has pushed a major new update to the NVIDIA App, and it’s now rolling out to all users with official DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution support—no longer limited to beta. If you use an RTX graphics card and care about cleaner image quality (especially in fast motion), this is one of the most important upgrades the app has delivered so far.
DLSS 4.5 was revealed at CES with two headline improvements. The first is a big jump in image fidelity thanks to a new 2nd generation Transformer-based Super Resolution model. The second is Multi Frame Generation (MFG) support that can scale performance up to 6x in supported scenarios. With this update, the Super Resolution portion is the one that’s now available to everyone through the NVIDIA App.
If you already have the NVIDIA App installed, the update should arrive automatically. The new 2nd gen Transformer model is notably more demanding—NVIDIA describes it as around 5x more compute-intensive than previous approaches—but it’s designed to work across the entire RTX family, including RTX 20, RTX 30, RTX 40, and RTX 50 series GPUs.
In early testing, the newer DLSS 4.5 Presets M and L stand out for noticeably reducing ghosting while producing a sharper, more stable image. That matters in real gameplay, where fine details and motion clarity can fall apart quickly with older upscaling methods. NVIDIA has also said DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution is slated to work across more than 400 games and applications, and the NVIDIA App’s built-in DLSS override options can help you apply improved settings to both newer releases and older titles.
Hardware still plays a big role in how much you benefit. While DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution runs on all RTX GPUs, it tends to shine most on RTX 40 and RTX 50 series cards thanks to upgraded Tensor Cores and FP4 support. Older RTX GPUs can still use it effectively, particularly if you have extra FPS headroom available, but you should expect a bigger performance hit compared to the newest architectures.
The update isn’t only about DLSS. NVIDIA App version 11.0.6 also brings several quality-of-life improvements aimed at making the app more capable as a control hub:
NVIDIA Surround options have been further migrated into the app under System > Displays, including bezel correction and hotkey settings that previously lived elsewhere.
Advanced Optimus laptop users now get clearer visibility into which apps are blocking Advanced Optimus from activating, showing full application names instead of only executable filenames—making troubleshooting far less annoying.
A new Debug Mode option under System > Advanced can instantly disable overclocking and voltage tweaks applied through any app. This is useful for diagnosing instability, especially when trying to determine whether crashes are being caused by tuning settings. The change lasts until the system restarts.
There’s also a more specialized Developer option tied to profiling and debugging tools, which most users can safely leave untouched.
Alongside the app update, two more RTX-supported games were highlighted as taking advantage of DLSS Super Resolution and the newer DLSS 4.5 improvements through NVIDIA App overrides.
LET IT DIE: INFERNO is a rogue-lite survival action title from SUPERTRICK GAMES and GungHo Online Entertainment. A new update adds DLSS Super Resolution support to improve performance on GeForce RTX systems, with the option to enhance image quality further using DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution via NVIDIA App settings.
StarRupture from Creepy Jar is an Early Access first-person open-world base-building game that launched with DLSS Super Resolution and DLSS Frame Generation. Using the NVIDIA App, players can upgrade image quality with the DLSS 4.5 2nd gen Transformer model, push fidelity further with DLAA, and—on RTX 50 series GPUs—enable DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation for even higher frame rates.
Bottom line: the NVIDIA App now officially delivers DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution to everyone, adds several practical system and display features, and expands the list of games that can benefit from the improved upscaling model through app-level overrides. The next big milestone is expected in spring, when NVIDIA plans to add MFG 6x mode support to the app—an update that could make DLSS 4.5 even more impactful for supported RTX 50 series users.
