DLSS 3 Out Now in Returnal, Confirmed for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum
In a new update to the ever-growing DLSS games list, NVIDIA announced that DLSS 3 (Frame Generation) will be added today to Housemarque's Returnal with a patch.

As a reminder, the official system specs released for Gollum were rather high.

Owners of GeForce GTX cards can still activate Reflex to lower the system latency and use the Nvidia Image Scaling upscaler to gain some performance back when needed.
NVIDIA also released the first RTX trailer for The Lord of the Rings: Gollum, showcasing the game with the aforementioned ray traced options activated.
It's not all about DLSS 3, either, as a few games have just introduced DLSS 2 support: Monster Energy Supercross - The Official Videogame 6 and GUN JAM, a rhythm action FPS. Both games
