A retailer has listed the GeForce RTX 5080 in an ASUS-assembled version, and right next to its name has put a reference to GDDR7 memory already DLSS 4, although it does not provide new information about the characteristics that this new technology could incorporate.
In the screenshot we can see the price that that graphics card would have, 1,699.95 euros with taxes included. That’s a very high figure, but we should keep in mind that it’s an early listing, so the price may be inflated, and that it’s a custom model by ASUS, so it’s more expensive than NVIDIA’s reference design. The price of the Founders Edition model should be between 1,400 and 1500 euros.
DLSS 4 is real, it is confirmed, but what exactly is it? Thanks to the mistake that Inno3D made by updating its website too early, we have a lot of information about the advances that this new technology could include, in fact I already analyzed them in depth in this article that I invite you to review if you did not have the opportunity to see it in its moment.

In summary, DLSS 4 is going to be the next evolution from the suite of AI-powered technologies offered by NVIDIA to improve performance and image quality in games. This new version will maintain all current technologies, which are:
- Intelligent rescaling (Super Resolution).
- Intelligent frame generation (Frame Generation).
- Intelligent noise reducer (Ray Reconstruction).
To these three technologies it will add two great new features. The first is «Advanced Super Resolution»which seems to be an improved version of the smart rescaling that we already know, and the second is the Neural Renderingwhich will use hardware-accelerated AI to generate certain graphic elements, such as textures, for example.
Will there be DLSS 4 support on the GeForce RTX 40?
We don’t know for sure, but my intuition tells me that we could find partial support on GeForce RTX 40 and earlier. In this sense, it is most likely that neural rendering ends up being exclusive to the GeForce RTX 50and that advanced intelligent rescaling does work on the GeForce RTX 40.
It makes sense because neural rendering promises to be the most impressive advance which we will see in DLSS 4, and it looks like it is going to completely transform the way games are rendered. NVIDIA may also limit support for new features on GeForce RTX 3o and GeForce RTX 20 graphics cards.
NVIDIA needs to take a significant leap with this technology to continue to differentiate from AMDespecially now that it seems almost confirmed that the company is going to make the leap into AI with FSR 4, whose debut is scheduled for CES.
There is less left to clear up doubts, but the truth is that this CES promises to be one of the most interesting for hardware and gaming lovers.
