Dawn of War IV heads to GeForce NOW as DLSS 5 neural rendering spreads to more games

Nvidia says Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV, from KING Art Games and Deep Silver, is coming to GeForce NOW after it launches on Steam on December 3. It features Space Marines, Orks, Necrons and the series debut of the Adeptus Mechanicus, with more than 70 campaign missions. The update also adds Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and 10 more games, and Ultimate members can play a demo marking the GeForce 8800 GTX’s 20th anniversary. It follows earlier weekly drops like NBA 2K27 and 28 new games.

War Thunder and Where Winds Meet are next to adopt DLSS 5’s 3D-Guided Neural Rendering; War Thunder’s support arrives with its Eagle’s Shadow update in mid-November, and Where Winds Meet gets it November 23. Hogwarts Legacy got it on GeForce NOW the week before (coverage), after a toned-down debut following meme-worthy March demos (coverage).

DLSS is one of the clearest examples of AI doing useful work for ordinary people: neural networks produce better-looking frames than raw hardware would manage, inside products people already enjoy. Nvidia says the October model doubles performance over the previous version and is tenfold faster than at its March announcement. If true, that shows how fast these rendering techniques are maturing. Faster models mean cheaper inference, so the feature can run on more hardware, including GeForce NOW Ultimate’s RTX 5080 cloud rigs. For the developer side, see our DLSS 5 explainer.

GeForce NOW handles downloads and updates on its servers, so a big strategy game like Dawn of War IV or new Dragon’s Dogma 2 content doesn’t eat local storage. That makes demanding PC games playable on Macs, handhelds and modest laptops, a real convenience, and part of Nvidia’s wider bet on neural rendering across devices (RTX Spark).

Streaming depends on a strong connection, and the blog notes availability can lag because games are onboarded after release. Neural rendering changes what players see in ways they may not notice; the more frames are inferred instead of drawn, the more the image depends on one vendor’s models, which deepens Nvidia’s software advantage over rival GPU makers. And these figures come from Nvidia’s own blog.

The timing is striking. As Nvidia’s leadership upheaval dominates headlines (resignation), its gaming arm publishes business as usual, a reminder that most teams are still shipping whatever happens at the top. More in our Nvidia coverage.
