Three months ago, Nvidia announced that DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction would soon be added to RTX GPUs. The wait is over, since the update is now available to download via the Nvidia app, as announced at Gamescom 2026, and here’s what you need to know.
Nvidia Releases DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction for RTX Users
DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction is a neural rendering technique for all GeForce RTX GPUs that delivers sharper image quality in ray-traced and path-traced scenes. Unlike Nvidia DLSS 4 Ray Reconstruction, this technology uses a Second-Generation Transformer AI to turn noisy, low-sample ray-traced data into a cleaner, more accurate ray-traced and path-traced image.
It reconstructs the noisy image with an efficient AI denoiser for sharper resolution and accurate lighting in ray-traced and path-traced content within games. If you own a GeForce RTX GPU, here’s how you can enable DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction through the Nvidia app:
- Go to Settings and click on About
- Opt in to Early Access releases
- Open the “Graphics” section and select a supported game (listed below)
- Scroll to Driver Settings
- Click DLSS Override – Model Presets
- Click Custom
- Open the Ray Reconstruction drop-down and choose “Recommended” or “Preset F”
- Click Apply
Alternatively, you can also select “Global Settings” at the top of the window and apply the updated Ray Reconstruction to every supported game in your library to avoid the step-by-step hassle.
With the update available to all GeForce RTX users right now, Nvidia announced that two titles will receive DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and Path Tracing support next month: 007 First Light on September 15 and Control: Resonant launching on September 24, 2026. Remedy’s sequel will be the first major AAA title in 2026 to support this upgrade at launch.
