We’re excited to announce that in today’s update to 3DMark, we’re adding DLSS 3 and DLSS Frame generation support to the NVIDIA DLSS feature test. The NVIDIA DLSS feature test was developed in partnership with NVIDIA.
The 3DMark NVDIA DLSS feature test lets you compare performance and image quality with and without DLSS processing. If you have a new GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU, you’ll also be able to compare performance with and without DLSS 3.
You can choose to run the NVIDIA DLSS feature test using DLSS 3, DLSS 2 or DLSS 1. DLSS 3 includes DLSS Frame Generation, and you can choose between three image quality modes—Quality, Performance and Ultra Performance. These modes are designed for different resolutions, from Full HD up to 8K.
DLSS Frame Generation uses AI to boost frame rates by generating additional high-quality frames, all while optimizing responsiveness with NVIDIA Reflex. DLSS Frame Generation uses the new Optical Flow Accelerator in GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs along with NVIDIA Tensor Cores.
The NVIDIA DLSS feature test is based on the 3DMark Port Royal ray tracing benchmark. The test runs in two passes. The first pass renders Port Royal with DLSS disabled to measure baseline performance. The second pass renders Port Royal at a lower resolution and then uses DLSS processing to create frames at the output resolution. The result screen reports the frame rate for each run.
Test DLSS 3 and DLSS Frame Generation now!
The NVIDIA DLSS feature test DLSS 3 update is a free update to 3DMark for users who purchased 3DMark after January 8, 2019. You need an NVIDIA graphics card and drivers that support DLSS to run the NVIDA DLSS feature test. DLSS 3 requires a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU. DLSS Frame Generation requires a GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU and Reflex SDK integration.

What’s new in 3DMark 2.25.8042
This is a minor update. Benchmark scores are not affected.
New
- Adds DLSS 3 support to the NVIDIA DLSS feature test.
Fixed
- Fixed an issue that could cause tests with a GPU selector to fail with a "Mandatory JSON value int64 member "dxgi_adapter_luid" has invalid type" error.
- Speed Way now correctly prevents Windows from turning off the screen on systems with very short “screen off after idle” times.
- Fixed an issue in Night Raid that could cause a crash on systems with multiple different GPUs.
