image generation could arrive on the RTX 30, nothing is excluded

NVIDIA's announcement comes in a particular context. With the imminent arrival of the RTX 50, some RTX 30 owners could be tempted to upgrade to the next generation to take advantage of DLSS 3. By casting doubt on possible backward compatibility, NVIDIA could seek to retain its user base.

However, we should not neglect the real technical advances that NVIDIA could have made. The company has already proven in the past its ability to optimize its technologies to make them compatible with older hardware.

Whether or not DLSS 3 arrives on the RTX 30, this announcement shows that NVIDIA remains attentive to its community. The coming months will tell us whether this declaration will materialize in a major update for RTX 30 owners, or if it was simply a well-calculated announcement effect.
