Nvidia’s RTX 50-series graphics cards are set to arrive in a matter of days, and although they could be among the best graphics cards you can buy, Nvidia itself might’ve just given PC gamers a reason
to sit out this generation. According to Nvidia ’s Bryan Catanzaro — the company’s DLSS champion — it might be possible to add features like DLSS Multi-Frame Generation to older generations of graphics cards .
Over the past two generations, Nvidia has put a much greater emphasis on DLSS when marketing its graphics cards. That’s true with its latest RTX 50-series GPUs, as well, which promise up to 4X frame generation with DLSS 4. That feature is exclusive to Nvidia’s latest graphics cards, but Catanzaro’s comment doesn’t rule out the possibility of these features coming to older generations in the future.

There would likely be a quality loss if Nvidia were to backport its frame generation tech, but the larger concern is performance. It’s possible that enabling these features on older graphics cards could bring up several issues.
