In this video, I compare DLSS 4 vs DLSS 4.5 on the RTX 3060 12GB to see what really changes between the two versions. The test focuses on real gameplay benchmarks, highlighting differences in FPS, image quality, stability, and GPU behaviour across modern AAA titles.
Both DLSS versions are tested under the same settings and resolution to ensure a fair comparison. You’ll see whether DLSS 4.5 delivers a meaningful visual upgrade, a performance boost, or if the changes are minor on a 12GB GPU like the RTX 3060.
✅ What’s covered:
• DLSS 4 vs DLSS 4.5 visual quality comparison
• FPS & performance differences
• GPU temperatures & power behavior
• Real-world gaming impact on RTX 3060 12GB
• Is DLSS 4.5 worth upgrading to?
If you’re using an RTX 3060 12GB and wondering whether DLSS 4.5 is worth enabling over DLSS 4, this video will help you decide.
