Yeah, you can see that the GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card -- a card that costs $1499 by the way, can run Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War at 4K and over 120FPS with DLSS "performance mode" enabled.

Now remember this is even with ray tracing enabled which is impressive -- with the new GeForce RTX 3070 going from 46FPS to 85FPS, the RTX 2080 Ti from 50FPS to 98FPS (!!!) and the RTX 3080 from 60FPS to 114FPS (!!!). Impressive gains across the board in Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War with DLSS enabled.
