DLSS 3 with Frame Generation promises up to 4x frame rate improvement for RTX 40 series GPUs (opens in new tab). This is achieved by utilizing the GPU's new "Optical Flow Accelerator". This uses AI to look at frame data and generate more frames, improving game performance. Essentially, the RTX video card punches above its class, using the power of AI to generate complete frames without actually rendering anything. It is truly magical. [Like DLSS Frame Generation, Hitman 3 and Midnight Suns also benefit from Nvidia's latency-eliminating feature, Reflex.

Both games previously supported DLSS 2, but with the addition of ray tracing support, such AI upscaling is now necessary to achieve what amounts to decent game performance when this feature is enabled. Nvidia announced that its sci-fi adventure game "Deliver Us Mars" (opens in new tab), first shown at the PC Gaming Show on February 2, will be enhanced with DLSS 3.

Support for DLSS 3 comes to Hitman 3 in conjunction with the release of the long-awaited Freelancer mode (opens in new tab), which has been delayed since last year. It is a roguelike mode in which players use creative kills from customizable bases to take down various criminal enterprises.

Midnight Sands will also release The Good, the Bad, and the Undead DLC (opens in new tab) on the same day, featuring Deadpool as a playable character.

The same driver update pushed by Nvidia today will also bring DLSS 2 support to Forspoken and Dead Space, which launch this Friday.
