Older RTX GPUs will require more VRAM to ensure better visual fidelity, but this will cause drastic performance regressions. RTX 20 and 30 Series Reportedly Require 2X More VRAM with the Latest Transformer Model-Based DLSS 4.5, but Deliver Sharper Visuals With the introduction of NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, the 2nd-gen Transformer model now takes the place for improved visual quality in games by leveraging the AI capabilities of the Tensor cores present on the latest RTX GPUs, such as RTX 40 and RTX 50. However, DLSS 4.5 is supported even on older-gen RTX GPUs such as the RTX 20 and RTX […]
