Got a good GPU? Treat yourself to ray tracing, DLSS, or both
The good news is that the list of games with ray tracing and/or DLSS support is constantly growing, and with Nvidia’s announcement of their newRTX 50 series GPUs, there’s about to be a bunch moregraphics cardsthat can enable both. The bad news is that between DLSS’s own multiplying versions, from the basic upscaling of DLSS 2 to the Multi Frame Generation of DLSS 4, keeping track of what works with what is getting more complicated than a ‘games go fast’ feature probably should be.

Obviously this is partly a song and dance to sell Nvidia GPUs, but frame gen can work well in plenty of games, and DLSS 3’s take on the technology is much smoother and sharper thanAMD’s FSR 3. Even if you’ve got the requisite hardware, though, it still comes down to whether thegameswill play ball as well. To help you find out, here’s a list – to the best of my knowledge – of all the PC games with ray tracing, DLSS, and DLSS 3 settings.
If you’re weighing up whether to splash out on an RTX 50 series card, Nvidia has also announced the 75 games and apps that will support DLSS 4 when it launches alongside the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 on January 30th. You can check out that full listhere.
Ray tracing games you can play right now:
More ray tracing games are always on the way, so below you’ll find all the other upcoming ray tracing games we currently know about. Some are old games getting new ray tracing updates, others are upcoming titles that haven’t been released yet.

DLSS games you can play right now:
Unlike ray tracing, which works on a lot of different AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs, DLSS require the use of an Nvidia RTX card specifically. It’s an AI-powered upscaling technology that helps to boost performance at higher resolutions (particularly when you’ve got ray tracing enabled), and many of today’s big ray tracing games such asWatch Dogs Legion simply aren’t playable without it. Without further ado, then, here are all the Nvidia DLSS games you can play right now:
The introduction of DLSS 2.0 in games such as Death Stranding marked a real turning point. Whereas previous DLSS games were noticeably blurry with DLSS enabled, DLSS 2.0 could often look indistinguishable from a game’s native resolution. Subsequent versions have made further visual improvements, especially on fast-moving objects.
There are more DLSS games on the way, too. DLSS has now beenintegrated into both the Unreal EngineandUnitygame-making tools now, so it should be much easier for developers to start adding in support for it.
That said, several games Nvidia have announced over the past few years still haven’t received their intended DLSS support yet, and consequently I’ve removed some of the titles that were previously included on this list, as even Nvidia seem to have forgotten about them in their most recent DLSS announcements. Instead, the games below are definitely confirmed to be getting DLSS support, based on the most recent information available to us.

DLSS 3 games you can play right now:
Portal with RTX was one of the first DLSS 3 games, and now it’s getting DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction.
There are some downsides: this technique increases input latency, so might not be great for pacey competitive games, and it will only be available if you’re running an GeForce RTX 40 series GPU. Still, it works well from what I’ve played, with particularly impactful FPS boosts at 4K; the only time I’ve witnessed unacceptable quality drops from frame gen has been inImmortals of Aveum, which had a nasty ghosting effect at launch. Every other time, DLSS 3 has looked fine.
Some of these games may also get support forDLSS 3.5 and its Ray Reconstructionfeature, though unlike frame generation, this won’t specifically require an RTX 40 series GPU. In any case, here are the games that already have the original DLSS 3 up, running, and playable with frame generation:
DLSS 3 games on the way:
Unreal Engines 4 and 5, Unity, and the Frostbite Engine are all DLSS 3 compatible, so you can expect this list to grow just as the ‘old’ DLSS lists above have done.
