NVIDIA Expands DLSS 4, RTX Technologies, and GeForce Ecosystem at Gamescom
NVIDIA is pushing PC gaming into the next era with over 175 games now supporting DLSS 4, its AI-powered suite of neural rendering technologies. This means players can expect breakthrough performance and visuals in some of this year’s biggest titles — including Borderlands 4, Hell Is Us, and Fate Trigger.
Path tracing is also making its debut in Resident Evil Requiem and Directive 8020, while ray tracing will enhance upcoming games like Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA, and CINDER CITY. These cutting-edge features enable lifelike graphics and deeply immersive gameplay.
“DLSS 4 and path tracing are no longer just experiments — they’re the foundation of modern PC gaming,” said Matt Wuebbling, vice president of global GeForce marketing at NVIDIA. “AI rendering is redefining how developers deliver both stunning visuals and massive performance gains, giving gamers a taste of the future today.”
Alongside new game announcements, NVIDIA unveiled updates to its GeForce RTX 50 Series lineup, the NVIDIA app, and breakthroughs in RTX Remix and NVIDIA ACE.
DLSS 4: Now Accelerating Over 175 Games and Apps
Launched earlier this year with the RTX 50 Series, DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation can generate up to three AI frames for every traditionally rendered frame — delivering up to 8x faster performance compared to conventional rendering.
Games also benefit from DLSS Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and NVIDIA Reflex, ensuring both speed and responsiveness for RTX 50 Series owners.
New RTX Game Highlights from Gamescom:
- DLSS 4 + Path Tracing: Directive 8020, Resident Evil Requiem
- DLSS 4 + Ray Tracing: Black State, CINDER CITY (formerly Project LLL), Cronos: The New Dawn, Dying Light: The Beast, Honeycomb: The World Beyond, Lost Soul Aside, The Outer Worlds 2, Phantom Blade Zero, PRAGMATA
- DLSS 4 + Multi Frame Generation: Borderlands 4, Fate Trigger
- RTX Hair Technology: Indiana Jones and the Great Circle (coming September)
Many of these games will also be available on GeForce NOW, NVIDIA’s cloud gaming service.
NVIDIA App: Smarter Controls, Better Performance
The NVIDIA app — the central hub for GeForce RTX owners — is receiving major upgrades:
- Global DLSS Overrides: Apply DLSS Multi Frame Generation or Super Resolution across hundreds of titles in one click.
- Project G-Assist Upgrades: A new lightweight AI model cuts memory use by 40%, while delivering faster, more accurate voice and text-based system tuning.
- Legacy 3D Settings: Easily enable anisotropic filtering, anti-aliasing, and ambient occlusion for classic games.
The beta update launches Tuesday, Aug. 19 at 9 a.m. PT, with full rollout the following week.
NVIDIA ACE: Voice-Driven Gameplay
NVIDIA ACE is powering more natural interactions between players and NPCs. Already featured in Krafton’s inZOI, ACE now drives conversations in The Oversight Bureau — a darkly comic, voice-driven puzzle game from Iconic Interactive.
Using speech-to-text AI, players can talk naturally with characters while developers retain creative control over narrative outcomes. Running locally on RTX AI PCs, responses happen with sub-second latency. The Oversight Bureau launches later this year and will be demoed at Gamescom.
RTX Remix: Community Expands Modding Frontier
RTX Remix, NVIDIA’s open-source modding platform, is rapidly evolving with community-driven enhancements.
- Modders have connected Remix to Adobe Substance 3D for advanced material work, and even created tools to make game objects glow instantly.
- Compatibility now extends to classics like Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Knights of the Old Republic, Doom 3, Half-Life: Black Mesa, and Bioshock.
- At Gamescom, Painkiller RTX by Merry Pencil Studios won “Best Overall RTX Remix Mod” in the $50K contest.
NVIDIA also introduced a new particle system for RTX Remix, delivering physically accurate, dynamically lit particles to 165 classic games — a first for many. Modders can fine-tune everything from turbulence to gravity, with the system arriving in September.
Borderlands 4 GeForce RTX 50 Series Bundle
To celebrate the launch of Borderlands 4, NVIDIA announced a GeForce RTX 50 Series bundle.
Gamers who purchase select RTX 5090, 5080, 5070 Ti, or 5070 GPUs, desktops, or laptops will receive Borderlands 4 plus the Gilded Glory Pack DLC. The promotion runs through Monday, Sept. 22 at participating retailers.
