Applying DLSS

DLSS is an AI-powered technology developed by NVIDIA for their RTX series of graphics cards. DLSS uses the power of machine learning and AI to increase the resolution of rendered frames by intelligently upscaling lower resolution images in real time. This results in a high-quality, high-resolution image that requires less computational power to produce. We can also use DLSS to render frames at a lower base resolution and then use AI to upscale the image to a higher resolution.

Note that to use DLSS, you must have an NVIDIA RTX series graphics card.

In this recipe, you’ll learn how to apply DLSS, an innovative technique for enhancing the resolution of rendered frames in real time. You will gain an understanding of how DLSS leverages machine learning and AI to upscale lower-resolution images intelligently, thereby achieving superior image quality with less computational power.
