Here we re-test three titles using both DLSS 2 and DLSS 3, to give you an idea of the performance on offer from Nvidia's upscaling technologies.

Frame Generation in Cyberpunk 2077 takes the frame rate from 23FPS up to 40FPS, while latency increases from 77ms to 105ms. DLSS 2 Quality mode produces a higher frame rate than Frame Generation alone, with lower latency to boot, but you get the biggest frame rate boost from FG + DLSS 2, hitting 67FPS with 66ms latency.

In Hitman 3, we can see almost a doubling of the frame rate when enabling Frame Generation, though latency also increases from 74ms to 91ms. DLSS Super Resolution in its quality mode also boosts FPS to a similar level while cutting latency to 46ms, though DLSS Super Resolution and Frame Generation together can produce 70FPS at 4K, with latency a touch lower than native 4K.

Lastly, Spider-Man Remastered shows a similar trend. DLSS 2 quality and Frame Generation both perform similarly on their own, though FG has higher latency. Use both together and we saw 115FPS average with 55ms latency.
