NVIDIA DLSS 4 Increases Performance in Dune Awakening by an Average of 4.9X

Dune Awakening Launches with Exciting NVIDIA DLSS 4 Features

Today marks the official launch of Funcom’s much-anticipated survival multiplayer sandbox game, Dune Awakening. Available now for players who purchased the Deluxe and Ultimate editions, the game is designed to deliver an exceptional performance, backed by cutting-edge NVIDIA DLSS 4 technology.

Enhanced Gameplay with NVIDIA DLSS Support

Dune Awakening utilizes an array of NVIDIA features, including:

DLSS Super Resolution: Accessible on all RTX GPUs, enhancing visuals significantly.
Frame Generation: Available for RTX 40 and 50 Series GPUs, providing smoother gameplay.
Multi Frame Generation: Exclusively for RTX 50 Series GPUs, boosting performance even further.

NVIDIA reports that players can experience performance improvements of up to 4.9 times at 4K resolution and maximum settings when utilizing these features, particularly with the DLSS Super Resolution set to Performance mode. The game’s benchmarks reflect impressive frame rates, with the RTX 5090 achieving over 338 FPS, and the RTX 5080 averaging 270 FPS. Other models such as the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 also deliver solid performance, with 239 FPS and 198 FPS, respectively.

Optimizing DLSS Quality and Reducing Latency

For those looking to elevate their gaming experience, an optional NVIDIA app override can be activated to enhance the quality of DLSS in Dune Awakening using the new transformer model. Additionally, players can benefit from NVIDIA Reflex, a technology capable of cutting system latency by up to 50% in this game, making gameplay more responsive.

For gamers whose PCs may not meet the specifications to run Dune Awakening smoothly, the game is also accessible through GeForce NOW, allowing users to enjoy the game with cloud-based performance.

EA Sports F1 25: Another Title Supporting DLSS 4

In related news, Codemasters recently released EA Sports F1 25, this year’s iteration of the popular Formula One racing franchise. This game fully supports the NVIDIA DLSS 4 suite, offering features such as DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation, and Multi Frame Generation. Furthermore, players can enable Ray Reconstruction to replace the default denoiser, significantly enhancing the quality of ray tracing and path tracing effects.

NVIDIA claims that by activating all available DLSS technologies, players can experience performance boosts averaging 7.9 times at 4K resolution with Ultra High settings, particularly impressive during a night race around the wet Bahrain circuit with 20 cars on track. The benchmarks for F1 25 are equally impressive: the RTX 5090 reaches 372 FPS, while the RTX 5080 and RTX 5070 Ti score averages of 246 FPS and 206 FPS, respectively.
