DLSS 3 Frame Generation Performance
On this page, we are going to evaluate the smoothness advantage that DLSS 3 Frame Generation adds to the games that support it. *Note* that while we are reporting the average FPS (Frames Per Second) on the graph, to represent the advantage, this is not really indicative of what Frame Generation does, as it does not contribute to the input of the game, it doesn’t factor into actual performance, but rather motion smoothness. It’s not a performance booster, it’s a smoothness booster. Please keep this in mind as you read the graphed results.
Horizon Forbidden West
In Horizon Forbidden West, at 4K, the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER performs at 75FPS, and then we get a 37% performance increase using DLSS quality at 102FPS. On top of that, DLSS Frame Gen adds 19% better smoothness at 122FPS.
Alan Wake 2
In Alan Wake 2 the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER performs at 55FPS at 4K, and turning on DLSS quality brings that up 58% to 87FPS. On top of that DLSS 3 Frame Gen adds 29% more smoothness at 112FPS.
At 1440p with High Ray Tracing the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces 56FPS and DLSS quality boosts that 54% to 86FPS. When we add DLSS Frame Gen that smoothness is boosted by 60%.
Cyberpunk 2077
In Cyberpunk 2077 the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER performs at 54FPS at 4K and DLSS quality boosts that 27%. When we add DLSS 3 Frame Gen the smoothness increases by 33%.
In Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p with Ultra Ray Tracing the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER produces 61.7FPS and with DLSS quality that is boosted 72%. When we add DLSS 3 Frame Gen the smoothness increases by 45%.
