NVIDIA Rolls Out DLSS Support For New titles, DLSS 3 Comes To 'The Lord of the Rings: Gollum' This Week - Trailer

The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches this week with DLSS 3 support and many other NVIDIA technologies, while two DLSS 2 titles (Firmament and Togges) are also available now.

The Definitive The Lord of the Rings: Gollum Experience

Based on the books by J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is a story-driven stealth adventure game from Daedalic Entertainment, creators of Deponia and many other highly regarded titles.  

Available May 25th, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum launches with support for DLSS 3, NVIDIA DLAA, NVIDIA Reflex, and ray-traced shadows and reflections.

Multiply Performance with DLSS 3

In The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, GeForce RTX 40 Series gamers can multiply performance with DLSS 3. At 4K, performance on the GeForce RTX 4090 increases by 3.5X, enabling 169 frames per second with every setting maxed out, and all ray tracing options enabled. The GeForce RTX 4080 can hit 123 FPS, a 3.8X increase; the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti sees a 3.9X speedup, for 100 FPS gameplay; the GeForce RTX 4070 receives a 3.8X boost, giving it a 79 FPS result in our benchmark.

On GeForce RTX 40 Series laptops, DLSS 3 improves performance by an average of 2.5X at 2560x1440 with max settings and ray tracing enabled. At 1080p, DLSS 3 helps all RTX 40 Series laptop GPUs to run at over 90 FPS, with the flagship GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU topping 200 FPS!

Enhance Image Quality with DLAA

With such fast frame rates on many GPUs, GeForce RTX Gamers may want to enhance image quality with NVIDIA DLAA, an AI-based anti-aliasing mode that utilizes the same technology developed for DLSS. DLAA uses a native resolution image to maximize image quality, and in The Lord of the Rings: Gollum DLAA can be combined with DLSS Frame Generation for great image quality and excellent performance. 

Responsive Gameplay with NVIDIA Reflex

To make gameplay even more responsive, gamers with GeForce RTX or GeForce GTX 900 Series and newer GPUs can enable NVIDIA Reflex. This reduces system latency so your actions occur quicker, making single-player titles more responsive and enjoyable, and increasing your competitiveness in multiplayer matches. In The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, with Reflex activated, system latency is reduced by up to 56%.
