NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution

NVIDIA - Code Plugins - Feb 11, 2021

NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution is a deep learning neural network that uses the power of the NVIDIA RTX Tensor Cores to boost frame rates and generate sharp frames that approach or exceed native rendering.

  • Supported Engine Versions
    5.1

NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution is groundbreaking AI rendering technology that takes visual fidelity to a whole new level using dedicated Tensor Core AI processors on GeForce RTX™ GPUs. DLSS taps into the power of a deep learning neural network to boost frame rates and generate beautiful, sharp images for your games. Game developers now get performance headroom to maximize ray tracing settings and increase output resolution.


Features:

  • Uncompromised Quality with Higher Performance: Enjoy ray tracing and ultra-high resolutions with NVIDIA DLSS technology. It uses advanced AI rendering to produce image quality that’s comparable to native resolution--and sometimes even better--while only conventionally rendering a fraction of the pixels. New temporal feedback techniques give you incredibly sharp image details and improved stability from frame to frame.


  • Customizable Options: DLSS Super Resolution lets you choose several image quality modes—from Quality to Ultra Performance. You can choose how you want to balance quality and performance by controlling the game’s internal rendering resolution. Performance mode enables up to 4X AI super resolution (i.e. 1080p -> 4K) while the new Ultra-Performance mode enables up to 9X AI super resolution (1440p -> 8K). You can also customize how DLSS handles different scaling ratios and game content.  


  • NVIDIA Image Scaling: An open source, best-in-class, spatial upscaler and sharpening algorithm that works cross-platform on all GPUs supporting SM5.2 and above. NVIDIA Image Scaling is a great compliment to NVIDIA DLSS for developers looking for a solution to support non-RTX GPUs.


  • DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing Mode): DLAA offers AI-based anti-aliasing mode for users who have spare GPU headroom and want higher levels of image quality.
