Together, they push the capabilities of these GPUs far beyond what the physical hardware can do.

NVIDIA used Cyberpunk 2077 running with full ray tracing to highlight the improvements.
The game sits around 25-30 FPS with DLSS disabled.
With DLSS 4 enabled, the frame rate climbs to 235 and beyond, even with ray tracing enabled.
