A new DLSS generation is waiting for us next week.
CES 2025 is coming up next week. The trade fair, traditionally held as a start to the technology year 2025, will this time take place from January 7th to 11th. In the evening and the night before, some important companies invite you to a presentation.
Nvidia is also among them: The GPU manufacturer is responsible for the official opening of CES 2025 and will hold it with its own keynote. The new graphics cards around the RTX 5000 are expected to be presented at this – and probably also the new generation of AI upscaling DLSS.
An image of a dealer listing for a custom GPU from Asus based on the upcoming RTX 5080 is currently circulating on the X platform. The product description explicitly mentions, among other things, »DLSS 4« spoken.

The leaker, who is considered reliable, also responded to the allegations that the information was fake »copy7chemistry« and confirmed that DLSS 4 is indeed on the way.
However, further information about the improvements and new features that Nvidia wants to provide with DLSS 4 is missing. Given the past generation, it is also questionable whether the new upscaling variation will remain exclusive to the RTX 50 series.
- The custom manufacturer Inno3D provided a reference to the technology in a now-removed invitation to CES 2025 (via Videocardz).
- The company speaks of a “revolution in how game graphics are processed and displayed” and points to “neural capacities”.

The RRP is also mentioned for the RTX 5080 shown
Hard to miss, but in the picture above you can also find a price from a Spanish dealer for the alleged RTX 5080, which amounts to around 1,700 dollars. Assuming that this is a real listing, this should not represent the actual RRP of the “regular” RTX 5080.
- Asus traditionally adds several hundred dollars to its custom designs such as the ROG Strix models. For the RTX 4080, for example, this exact model went on sale for around 1,900 dollars – a hefty surcharge compared to the Founders Edition from Nvidia, which started for “only” 1,470 dollars.
- In view of this, it is conceivable that a generous margin for Asus has been calculated here and that the RTX 5080 will start a little cheaper. However, the RRP of 1,500 dollars that recently came into circulation for the Founders Edition is still conceivable in this context.
