A technique that gets smarter over time.
NVIDIA’s new GeForce RTX graphics cards launched with several tantalizing hardware-based features that promised to improve performance and image quality. In addition to ray tracing acceleration, NVIDIA announced something called Deep Learning Super Sampling, or DLSS, which uses artificial intelligence to improve performance in games at higher resolutions and settings.
While DLSS was technically available on the RTX cards at launch, it wasn’t until recently that you could take advantage of it in games like Battlefield V and Metro Exodus. Here’s what you need to know about the new technology.
WHAT IS DLSS?
DLSS can be thought as a new form of anti-aliasing. That is something of an oversimplification, but it’s useful as a concept. The technology basically uses a deep neural network – running off the Tensor cores in RTX GPUs – to pull out multi-dimensional features of a particular scene and then combines details from multiple frames to construct a high-quality final image. Aliasing refers to the jagged outlines of an object in a scene, and anti-aliasing mitigates this by filling in the gaps between pixels. This is all very much an approximation though, and there are many different techniques, such as multi-sampling, fast approximate, and super-sampling.

As I picked up my PlayStation 5 controller to play Helldivers 2, I found myself grappling with an unexpected adversary – inaccessible servers.
Of Embracing Escapism And Confronting Reality
As you embark on the journey that Final Fantasy VII Rebirth offers, there’s a moment that distinctly shifts the narrative’s atmosphere: Aerith pauses to take in the in-game scenery with a sense of wonder, which stood in stark contrast to the earlier parts of the game, where the flower girl, alongside other FFVII key companions such as Cloud and Tifa, navigates the cramped slums and towering corporate skyscrapers of Midgar.
Take Even Better Photos With The iPhone 15 Pro And 15 Pro Max
We already covered the iPhone 15 and 15 Pro Max's photography capabilities rather extensively in our review, but the general idea is that Apple has done a great job improving the software side and offering better sharpness, detail and a new 5x telephoto zoom lens on the iPhone 15 Pro Max.
Easier Editing with Final Cut Pro
Video editing is definitely on the rise these days, with many people starting to edit short videos on their phones for social media before getting into dedicated programs like Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro and more.
Portable, But Is It Convenient?
Designed for content creators, journalists, and anyone needing a small, lightweight microphone system, the Shure MoveMic comes in three different configurations
This Game Needs C-P-ARRRR!
Oh boy, where do I even begin. My journey with Ubisoft’s Skull and Bones, which started way back in 2017 when it was announced, has been akin to navigating a stormy voyage.
FANTASTIC KEYBOARD
The Falchion RX Low Profile is an interesting keyboard. While it is a part of the ASUS Republic of Gamers (ROG) sub-brand, it has plenty of features for the non-gaming audience too.
SURPRISINGLY BIG SOUND
The Pebble X Plus is Creative's current lead 2.1-channel offering. The pair of satellites feature 2.75-inch full-range drivers, and, just like all other Pebble speakers, are tilted at a 45-degree angle aimed at the users' ears.

NVIDIA'S 200-BILLION TRANSISTOR BLACKWELL GPU WILL TACKLE XXXLSIZED GENERATIVE AI MODELS
Blackwell GPU release rumours for many months now, but most are postulating what the GeForce RTX 4090 successor could offer. While that's not focus of today's launch, the Blackwell GPU architecture has finally been announced at NVIDIA'S premier AI conference, GTC 2024. With a headline such as wielding power to drive the new industrial revolution, the Blackwell GPU is shaping up to be a key enabler for accelerated computing, breakthrough data processing, engineering simulation, drug design, quantum computing, and generative AI in a very big way.
