Should you thought your 4K gaming setup was fairly hardcore, then be ready to eat humble pie, as Nvidia has demonstrated that 5K (5,120 x 2,880) gaming isn’t solely potential on the brand new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, however you’ll be able to even handle it in demanding titles comparable to Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle. I had an opportunity to play the sport with DLSS 4 at CES, and was shocked by not solely the sharpness of the picture, but in addition the smoothness of the body charge.
The Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle system necessities are about as demanding as you may get, with ray tracing enabled on all settings, and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 required to run the sport maxed out with full path tracing enabled. Nevertheless, because of some magic from DLSS 4 Multi Body Gen, you’ll be able to play the sport at over 200fps on a 5K monitor, utilizing the brand new RTX 5090.
In fact, there are some main caveats right here. One is that whereas the HUD and menus had been operating at 5K, the efficient decision of the sport was really 2,560 x 1,440, because it was utilizing DLSS Tremendous Decision on the aggressive Efficiency setting. Nevertheless, because of some assist from the brand new Transformer mannequin utilized in DLSS 4, the picture was nonetheless surprisingly sharp, with Nvidia’s new AI tech seemingly with the ability to do a significantly better job of upscaling than earlier variations of DLSS.
The sport was additionally, after all, utilizing Nvidia’s new Multi Body Gen tech, and apparently this wasn’t built-in into the sport itself at this level. As an alternative, you needed to power on Multi Body Gen utilizing the Nvidia App, however it labored extremely properly. Within the picture above, for instance, you’ll be able to see that the sport is operating at 5K at 211fps with path tracing enabled.
Each single one of many written labels within the cupboard was legible at a standard eye distance from the display, with DLSS Tremendous Decision now capable of upscale an honest quantity of element with out it trying blurry and noisy. I’ve zoomed in on one of many labels within the picture above, from the identical distance away from the cupboard as within the high picture, and keep in mind that it is a picture somewhat than a screenshot, so will probably be sharper on-screen.
In movement, the body charge was additionally pleasingly clean, with the ray-traced sunshine coming by the home windows affecting numerous areas of the scene, and there wasn’t a touch of any of the glitches you would possibly count on from producing a number of frames with AI.
In a cinematic, gorgeous-looking sport comparable to Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle, DLSS 4 is clearly a killer function for the RTX 5090. This was only one scene in a single sport, although, and Nvidia goes to must hope that many extra video games allow Multi Body Gen within the close to future. The corporate has already admitted that the RTX 5090 is barely 30% quicker than the 4090 in video games with out DLSS 4, so Multi Body Gen goes to want broad sport help if Nvidia expects players to spend $1,999 on it.
