Key points
- New DLSS 4.5 controls let users adjust image quality and latency in supported cloud games.
- Ultimate members on RTX 5080 rigs get up to 4X Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.
- Ten new titles, including Enshrouded 1.0 and Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, are now streaming.
NVIDIA has updated its GeForce NOW cloud gaming service to include new image quality controls and ten additional game titles for members to stream immediately.
How it unfolded
- NVIDIA introduced DLSS 4.5 controls on its GeForce NOW platform, giving users direct adjustment options for visual fidelity and performance metrics in supported titles.
- The update coincided with the launch of Enshrouded 1.0 on the service, allowing players to access the full release without downloading the 60GB local installation file.
- Ten new games joined the library this week, including Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2, Planet Zoo 2, and Total War: SHOGUN 2 – Complete Edition, expanding immediate streaming options.
Who is affected
GeForce NOW members across Windows, macOS, Chrome OS, and Steam OS can now access these settings within the application. The new controls allow users to balance image sharpness against responsiveness, which is particularly useful for players using older or less powerful client devices.
Ultimate members streaming on NVIDIA RTX 5080-powered cloud rigs receive the highest tier of options. According to NVIDIA, these users benefit from maximum Dynamic Multi Frame Generation settings, reaching up to 4X, which aims to reduce stutter and lower latency during gameplay sessions.
What happens next
Users can access the new DLSS 4.5 settings in the GeForce NOW app under the settings menu. The controls apply to supported titles, allowing for real-time adjustments to features like Super Resolution and Ray Reconstruction.
The service continues to add new releases to its library. Titles such as Deep Dish Dungeon and Planet Zoo 2 arrived on October 13, while Among the Trolls and over the hill were added on October 14. Beyond These Stars and Tenebris Somnia followed on October 15 and 16 respectively.
The background in plain language
Cloud gaming shifts the heavy processing work from your personal device to remote servers. Your computer only handles sending input commands and displaying the video stream. This means you can play demanding games on weaker hardware, but you depend on the server's capabilities. New controls allow you to tweak how the server processes images, balancing visual detail against speed to match your connection quality and preference.
What to do and how to stay safe: NVIDIA
- Check your GeForce NOW app settings to locate the new DLSS 4.5 controls and experiment with the balance between image quality and responsiveness.
- Verify your membership tier and assigned hardware rig to ensure you are eligible for the highest frame generation options available in the update.
- Review the list of newly added games to see if any titles you own on Steam or Xbox are now available for immediate cloud streaming.
- Monitor your local storage usage, as streaming these titles avoids the need for large local downloads and updates on your device.
