NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a neural graphics technology that multiplies performance using AI to create entirely new frames and display higher resolution through image reconstruction—all while delivering best-in-class image quality and responsiveness.
DLSS is a revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance. Powered by the new fourth-gen Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 uses AI to create additional high-quality frames.
The Tensor cores are dedicated cores in the Nvidia’s RTX-series GPUs, found in the RTX 20, 30 and the new 40-series graphics cards. While the RTX 20-series cards used first-generation Tensor cores for what was essentially DLSS 1.0, second-gen Tensor cores since the RTX 30-series have largely improved upon the technology.
What does DLSS Nvidia do?
Boosts performance for all GeForce RTX GPUs by using AI to output higher resolution frames from a lower resolution input. DLSS samples multiple lower resolution images and uses motion data and feedback from prior frames to reconstruct native quality images.
Benefits of DLSS
- Performance Multiplier : The AI network analyzes sequential frames and motion data to create additional high-quality, responsive frames.
- Uncompromised Quality : Advanced super-resolution temporal image reconstruction produces images comparable to or better than native resolution while rendering a fraction of the pixels, letting you maximize frame rate
- AI That Improves : DLSS takes advantage of AI models that are continuously improved through ongoing training on NVIDIA supercomputers, providing better image quality and performance across more games and applications.
With Nvidia’s new RTX 40-series cards, the company brings DLSS 3.0, the most advanced version of the tech so far. DLSS further improves upon the upscale abilities of the new Tensor cores and provides more frames and better image quality with more details.
