And here are NVIDIA’s performance claims for DLSS in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III:
In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III’s built-in benchmark, cranking all settings to max at 4K sees performance increase by 1.8X on average when activating DLSS 3, enabling max setting gameplay at over 100 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4070, and at up to 200 FPS on the GeForce RTX 4090.
At 1440p, DLSS 3 boosts performance by 1.6X, enabling 100 FPS+ gameplay on the entire lineup of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards, and up to 240 FPS gameplay on the GeForce RTX 4090.
At 1080p, DLSS 3’s 1.5X performance boost enables you to hit esports frame rates on all GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, and allows you to max out the highest refresh rate displays on the GeForce RTX 4090, which achieves a 300 FPS result.
