Gaming performance RTX & DLSS/FSR

The Dell ALienware M18 R1 is equipped with an RTX4090 featuring the latest generation of DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), DLSS 3.

DLSS 3 with optical multi-image generation

Improves graphics performance by harnessing the power of AI to generate more images. DLSS analyzes sequential images and motion data from the new optical flow gas pedal on GeForce RTX 40 series GPUs to create additional images of the highest quality.

DLSS 3 will therefore be tested on Cyberpunk 2077 in comparison with DLSS 2. For other titles, only the DLSS version without image generation will be compared with the native resolution with Ray Tracing enabled.
