GamesCom 2026: Nvidia releases DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction, adds RTX Mega Geometry to Gears of War: E-Day

Nvidia has released DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne, and it is available now for all GeForce RTX GPUs through an Nvidia app update. The second-generation transformer model replaces hand-tuned denoisers with a network trained on Nvidia supercomputers, generating higher quality pixels in the parts of a ray-traced frame where rays were not sampled. Nvidia says the model delivers 35 percent more compute capability and processes 20 percent more parameters while holding performance close to the outgoing version.
