In the event 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 doable on the brand new Nvidia GeForce RTX 5090, however you possibly can even handle it in demanding titles reminiscent of 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 will 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. Nonetheless, due to some magic from DLSS 4 Multi Body Gen, you possibly can 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 working at 5K, the efficient decision of the sport was truly 2,560 x 1,440, because it was utilizing DLSS Tremendous Decision on the aggressive Efficiency setting. Nonetheless, due to 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 a substitute, you needed to pressure on Multi Body Gen utilizing the Nvidia App, however it labored extremely nicely. Within the picture above, for instance, you possibly can see that the sport is working at 5K at 211fps with path tracing enabled.
Each single one of many written labels within the cupboard was legible at a traditional eye distance from the display screen, with DLSS Tremendous Decision now capable of upscale a good 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 reasonably than a screenshot, so it will likely be sharper on-screen.
In movement, the body charge was additionally pleasingly easy, with the ray-traced sunshine coming by way of the home windows affecting varied areas of the scene, and there wasn’t a touch of any of the glitches you may anticipate from producing a number of frames with AI.
In a cinematic, gorgeous-looking sport reminiscent of Indiana Jones and the Nice Circle, DLSS 4 is clearly a killer characteristic for the RTX 5090. This was only one scene in a single sport, although, and Nvidia goes to should 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% sooner than the 4090 in video games with out DLSS 4, so Multi Body Gen goes to wish vast sport assist if Nvidia expects players to spend $1,999 on it.
