Nvidia’s CES 2026 Keynote Focuses On Software Updates For Gaming Experience

Nvidia’s CES 2026 keynote, which took place on Monday afternoon, was marked by the usual array of innovative technologies, including robots, autonomous driving models, and massive commercial hardware for AI. However, the company’s gaming announcements, which were noticeably absent of new hardware, took a backseat to these more flashy reveals.

Instead, Nvidia focused on unveiling significant software updates that promise to elevate the gaming experience. The company launched version 4. 5 of its DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) upscaling and optimization technology, which brings dynamic multi-frame generation and an upgraded transformer model for super-resolution upscaling. This upgrade is specifically designed to optimize high frame rate 4K gaming, particularly on the latest 240Hz 4K displays.

The new DLSS model boasts fewer temporal artifacts, resulting in less ghosting, improved antialiasing, and better clarity. Notably, this technology is compatible with any RTX graphics card, and when paired with Blackwell cards, it also enhances multi-frame generation image quality. In addition to the DLSS update, Nvidia introduced new capabilities for its RTX Remix modding platform, including Remix Logic, which enables games to make decisions about asset usage based on in-game events.
