➀ Valve的Proton Experimental更新为SteamOS和Linux增加了DLSS 3帧生成支持；➁ 这项更新为Steam Deck 2使用NVIDIA的新APU铺平了道路；➂ NVIDIA可能在2025年推出首款基于Arm的GeForce RTX APU，Valve可能会考虑将其用于Steam Deck 2。

➀ NVIDIA benchmarks STALKER 2 on GeForce RTX 4090, achieving over 120FPS at 4K with DLSS 3; ➁ DLSS 3 significantly boosts performance on RTX 40 series GPUs; ➂ NVIDIA tests STALKER 2 at max settings with DLSS 3 enabled, achieving impressive frame rates across the range of RTX 40 series GPUs.

1. Two visually impressive PC games, Pax Dei and Still Wakes The Deep, push the GeForce RTX 4090 to its limits; 2. Without DLSS 3, the RTX 4090 averages 51.7 FPS in Pax Dei at 4K max settings; 3. With DLSS 3 enabled, performance increases significantly, reaching 145.6 FPS on the RTX 4090 and 138.3 FPS in Still Wakes The Deep; 4. The question arises whether technologies like upscaling and frame generation are a crutch for the RTX 4090, which should be able to run any game at 4K 60 FPS natively if properly optimized; 5. The developers of Pax Dei and Still Wakes The Deep are pushing 'Max Settings' image fidelity with technologies like DLSS in mind, and the quality of upscaling technologies is now being considered in game performance expectations.
