What Is NVIDIA DLSS?

DLSS is short for Deep Learning Super-Sampling. NVIDIA DLSS is a proprietary technology that uses deep learning to deliver better image quality at a lower cost than traditional AA techniques like TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing).

It is a new feature that leverages the Inference capability of the Tensor Cores of the new NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics cards.

Why NVIDIA DLSS Matters

First, let’s start with why NVIDIA DLSS matters. It basically allows GeForce RTX graphics cards to deliver better image quality that is better than, or equivalent to TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing) with 33% better frame rates.

NVIDIA shared these benchmark results to demonstrate how much of a performance boost you’ll get with DLSS.

Now, remember that NVIDIA is comparing DLSS to TAA. So you are NOT going to get a 33% boost in frame rate if you don’t use any form of anti-aliasing at all.

But if you enjoy gaming with anti-aliasing enabled for better image quality, NVIDIA DLSS offers image quality that is better or equivalent to TAA, with a significantly lower performance penalty.

 

NVIDIA DLSS 2X = Ultra High Quality

NVIDIA also offers a DLSS 2X mode, which is designed to deliver ultra high quality renders that are very close to that of 64X super sampling.

At an exclusive NVIDIA tech briefing in Bangkok, NVIDIA Director of Technical Marketing for APAC, Jeff Yen, gave us two briefing sessions on NVIDIA DLSS, which we combined in this video for you. It offers you a quick 11-minute primer on DLSS.

 

NVIDIA DLSS vs TAA Demos + Q&A

Next, John Gillooly compared the performance of the NVIDIA DLSS against TAA (Temporal Anti-Aliasing). We also had a Q&A session with him about DLSS.

Now, if you are still skeptical about how NVIDIA DLSS can deliver better image quality with a much lower performance hit, let’s examine how NVIDIA DLSS actually works.
