In brief
- Preset C is the fastest Performance Mode option NVIDIA has announced for DLSS Frame Generation.
- NVIDIA says frame generation can be up to 35% faster on the GeForce RTX 5060.
- The update is said to support GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 Series GPUs, as well as RTX Spark.
- The company says the performance gain comes with minimal image-quality trade-offs.
NVIDIA announced Preset C for its DLSS Frame Generation algorithm on 13 October 2026, making it available through a beta update to the NVIDIA App. According to the company, this is the fastest Performance Mode option for Frame Generation. NVIDIA says frame generation can be up to 35% faster on the GeForce RTX 5060, with minimal image-quality trade-offs.
What does Preset C offer?
Preset C is described as a performance option for DLSS Frame Generation. NVIDIA says the improvement focuses on making the frame-generation algorithm run faster and more efficiently. The claim of up to 35% faster performance comes from the company’s own testing; it does not mean the same increase is guaranteed in every application or scene.
NVIDIA says the update supports the GeForce RTX 40 Series, GeForce RTX 50 Series and RTX Spark. The highest performance gain cited, however, is specifically for the GeForce RTX 5060. It would therefore be inaccurate to apply the 35% figure to every graphics card on the list. The company also says the image-quality difference is minimal; this, too, should be understood as NVIDIA’s own assessment.
The difference between Frame Generation and Multi-Frame Generation
NVIDIA says DLSS includes two models: Frame Generation and Multi-Frame Generation. The Preset C announcement is for Frame Generation. The information provided does not clarify whether the new option also applies to Multi-Frame Generation or explain the usage differences between the two models. Preset C should therefore be considered limited to the Frame Generation option named in the announcement.
The announcement also mentions distribution of a beta update to the NVIDIA App, but does not say when the final version will be released, when it will reach users outside the beta, or whether it will cost extra. The specific access requirements on the app and driver sides are not detailed either.
Impact on architecture and visualization workflows
For architects, interior designers and visualization teams, the practical relevance is limited to scenarios where frame generation is used for real-time viewing and interactive presentations. The source does not confirm Preset C support in any architectural software or rendering application. So it should not be assumed that the feature will directly benefit an existing workflow; first check whether the application in use supports DLSS Frame Generation.
Where supported, Preset C could help make moving scenes appear smoother. However, faster frame generation does not by itself mean that modeling, lighting calculations or final output rendering will take proportionally less time. When evaluating the beta software, teams should check whether their hardware is supported and observe how image quality holds up in their own scenes. The announcement provides no details about compatible applications, licensing terms or pricing.

Preset C offers an option that could improve smoothness in applications that support DLSS Frame Generation, but the announced performance gain of up to 35% is an upper limit specified only for the RTX 5060. For architecture and visualization offices in Turkey, it is important not to interpret this figure as a direct increase in productivity or a reduction in final render times.
Before making a decision, assess the software in use, the current graphics card and whether the beta version is suitable for the workflow. NVIDIA’s image-quality claim should not be generalized without testing it in your own scenes. The announcement contains no information about pricing or licensing changes.
Frequently asked questions
What is NVIDIA DLSS Preset C?
Preset C is described as NVIDIA’s fastest Performance Mode option for DLSS Frame Generation. It is being rolled out through a beta update to the NVIDIA App.
Which graphics cards will support Preset C?
NVIDIA says the update applies to the GeForce RTX 40 and RTX 50 Series, as well as RTX Spark. The up-to-35% performance gain was specified for the GeForce RTX 5060 in particular.
Does Preset C work in architectural visualization software?
