I 100% know what DLSS is, though by the sounds of it you don't. It is "AI" as much as any other thing is "AI". It uses models to "learn" what it needs to reconstruct and how to reconstruct it.

What do you think DLSS is?

You render a scene a dozen times once, then it regurgitates those renders from memory again if they are shown before ejected from cache on the card. It doesn’t upsample, it does intelligently render anything new, and there is no additive anything. It seems you think it’s magic, but it’s just fast sorting memory tricks.

This is blatantly and monumentally wrong lol. You think it's literally rendering a dozen frames and then just picking the best one to show you out of them? Wow. Just wow lol.

It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.

That's not what I claimed though. Where did I claim that?

What it does is allow you to run a game at higher settings than you could usually at a given framerate, with little to no loss of image quality. Where you could previously only run a game at 20fps at 1080p Ultra settings, you can now run it at 30fps at "1080p" Ultra, whereas to hit 30fps otherwise you might have to drop everything to Low settings.

Go read up.

Ditto.

No, you don't. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Learning_Super_Sampling

Literally in the docs: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/main/doc/DLSS_Programming_Guide_Release.pdf

No it doesn't. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all, instead of dropping to a lower resolution that your card can handle natively. That's it.

Keep claiming otherwise, and you're just literally denying reality and the Nvidia link to the docs right in front of you.

Linking to an 81 page document isn’t helpful. What specifically in there are you referring to?

No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all

Other than the reasons like I said - running it at higher settings while maintaining a playable framerate. The point is you don’t have to lower settings as much with DLSS.

You fundamentally don’t understand what it is and what it allows you to do.

You didn't read up on it huh?

Hilarious.

I know what DLSS is, I want to know exactly what you think in there says what you think it does.

So are you going to actually substantiate your claims with evidence/proof or no?
