If there is a recognized benchmark in the hardware industry to measure the performance of graphics cards, that is 3dmark. And, with the arrival of the new Nvidia Blackwell graphics cards, they have announced the specific benchmark update to measure performance with technology DLSS of Nvidia, which already goes for the fourth version. That means that, if you have managed to get one of the new RTX 50you can measure your performance in DLSS with 3DMark.
One of the greatest news of the new generation of NVIDIA graphics cards, if not the one that most, is the incorporation of DLSS 4a technology that, with the help of artificial intelligence, is able to generate more frames (in fact, now even more with Multi Frame Generation) To multiply the frame rate per second that we, users, we see in the games, in turn releasing a large workload to the GPU.
DLSS 4 reaches 3dmark
3DMark is a very complete benchmarks suite, which includes tests of all kinds: from graphics card under the Directx 11 graphic API (Fire Strike), passing through DIRECTX 12 (Time Spy), Rayos in real time, storage , CPU, battery autonomy and a long etcetera, so you could not miss a specific test so that we can measure the performance of DLSS.
In fact, if you have seen our latest analysis on graphics cards (for example, RTX 5090 or RTX 5080), you will have seen that it is one of the tests we have performed, although it is true that it has been available for some time and in the last generation We also use them to measure performance, although logically with DLSS 3 and 3.5, the previous versions.
When we analyzed the latest Blackwell graphs in Nvidia, we had to use a preliminary version of this benchmark to try DLSS 4, but now Ul Solutions has announced that it is already available for everyone, which means that if you have 3Dmark, the benchmark dlss It will be updated to make it compatible. Of course, in order to try it you also need a new generation NVIDIA graph, but well, there you have it for you to try it (anyway, you are talking about the fact that Nvidia could bring DLSS 4 also to the RTX of previous generations, and We will see).
The benchmark DLSS Feature Test It is based on the Benchmark 3DMark Port Royal with Ray Tracing. The test is executed in two phases:
- In the first, Port Royal is rendered with DLSS disabled to have a reference point. Therefore, in the catches like the one we have put up, an FPS measurement with DLSS OFF is seen.
- In the second, Port Royal is rendered to a lower resolution and then the DLSS processing is used to create photograms to the output resolution. It is the second result shown, that of DLSS ON.
If you are interested, 3DMark is available on Steam And it is also now offer with a 75% discount, so it certainly stays at a very interesting price. You can also buy it at the manufacturer’s website For their independent way, where they also have a 75% applied discount, although they have not indicated how much the offer will last.
