Yes. Every card in the RTX 40-series lineup — from the RTX 4060 up through the RTX 4090 — supports DLSS Frame Generation. NVIDIA confirms this directly on its own RTX 4060 product page, listing Frame Generation as a standard DLSS 3 feature across the 40-series family, not something reserved for the higher-end cards.
That’s the simple answer. The more useful answer has a couple of caveats worth knowing before you assume it’ll work the way you expect.
What RTX 40-series actually gets
RTX 40-series cards get standard Frame Generation — the original DLSS 3 version, which inserts one AI-generated frame between two real ones, roughly doubling your displayed frame rate. What RTX 40-series cards don’t get is Multi Frame Generation, the newer feature introduced with DLSS 4 that can insert up to three or more generated frames per real one. NVIDIA has been explicit that Multi Frame Generation is exclusive to RTX 50-series hardware — it’s a hardware-tier split, not a software limitation that might get patched in later.
So if you own an RTX 40-series card, you can expect roughly a 2X frame rate increase from Frame Generation in supported games, not the 3X or 4X multipliers you’ll see mentioned in coverage of DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation — those figures apply to RTX 50-series cards specifically.
The VRAM caveat on lower-end 40-series cards
Here’s the part that doesn’t show up in NVIDIA’s marketing: Frame Generation itself uses additional VRAM to run, on top of whatever the game is already using. On cards with generous VRAM — the RTX 4080, 4080 Super, and 4090 — this is rarely an issue. On the RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti, both of which ship with 8GB of VRAM, it’s a real practical constraint. TechRadar’s review of the RTX 4060 Ti noted its limited VRAM pool as a genuine concern for how fully it can use its newer features, Frame Generation included, particularly at 1440p or in VRAM-heavy titles.
In practice, this means Frame Generation on an RTX 4060 or 4060 Ti tends to work best at 1080p, where there’s enough VRAM headroom left over after the game’s own textures and assets. Push to 1440p in a demanding, VRAM-hungry title, and you can run into the same frame-time stutters and inconsistency that insufficient VRAM causes generally — Frame Generation doesn’t fix a VRAM shortage, and in some cases it can make one more noticeable since it’s competing for the same limited pool.
It also depends on the game
Frame Generation isn’t a driver-level setting that works everywhere once you own a supported card — individual games need to implement it. NVIDIA’s own DLSS 4 documentation points to over 250 games supporting some form of DLSS Frame Generation as of early 2026, which covers most major recent releases, but it’s not a universal feature available in every game you own. Check a specific title’s graphics settings menu, or NVIDIA’s own list of supported games, before assuming it’ll be there.
The practical takeaway
If you own an RTX 4070 or above, Frame Generation works close to how most coverage describes it — a genuine, if latency-costly, boost to displayed smoothness in supported games. If you’re on an RTX 4060 or 4060 Ti specifically, it still works, but keep an eye on VRAM usage at higher resolutions, since that’s where the 8GB ceiling is most likely to undercut the benefit you’re expecting. And regardless of which 40-series card you have, Multi Frame Generation’s higher multipliers are an RTX 50-series feature — not something a driver update will unlock on 40-series hardware.
FAQ
Does the RTX 4060 support DLSS Frame Generation?
Yes. NVIDIA lists Frame Generation as a standard feature across the entire RTX 40-series lineup, the RTX 4060 included.
Can RTX 40-series cards use Multi Frame Generation?
No. Multi Frame Generation, which generates more than one additional frame per real frame, is exclusive to RTX 50-series hardware. RTX 40-series cards get standard single Frame Generation only, roughly doubling displayed frame rate.
Why does Frame Generation feel weaker on the RTX 4060 than on higher-end 40-series cards?
The most common reason is VRAM — the RTX 4060 and 4060 Ti both ship with 8GB, and Frame Generation adds to VRAM demand on top of what the game itself is already using. This shows up most at 1440p or in VRAM-heavy titles, less so at 1080p.
Do all games support DLSS Frame Generation on RTX 40-series cards?
No. It requires per-game implementation. NVIDIA’s own count puts supported titles at over 250 as of early 2026, which covers most major recent releases, but it’s worth checking a specific game’s settings menu rather than assuming support.
