NVIDIA DLSS explained: How AI upscaling boosts game performance

NVIDIA's Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is a proprietary technology that enhances gaming performance by rendering games at a lower resolution and then using a machine learning algorithm to upscale the image to the monitor's native resolution. This allows for higher graphical settings or increased frame rates. DLSS offers several modes, including Quality, Balanced, Performance, and Ultra Performance, each with different internal rendering resolutions and trade-offs between image fidelity and frame rate. The technology is particularly beneficial for recent NVIDIA GPUs and is also mentioned in relation to the Nintendo Switch 2. AI
