News JVTech RTX 4080 and RTX 4090: “Nvidia drove me crazy”, gamer shocked by DLSS-3 performance
DLSS 3 is the new exclusivity expected by PC gamers who will receive an Nvidia RTX 4000 graphics card. With the recently released RTX 4090 and RTX 4080, Nvidia has introduced new drivers for current games that benefit from DLSS 3, but concretely , what’s that for?
Portal, Marvel’s Midnight Sun, The Witcher 3: All Benefit From DLSS 3, But What Is It?
Before understanding what DLSS 3 is, you simply need to understand what DLSS “just plain” is. DLSS is short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, which means your RTX graphics card uses artificial intelligence (deep learning in our case) to display an image at a higher resolution. Imagine a grid of 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD), all the pixels on your screen are illuminated, and your graphics card is therefore tasked with artificially simulating a more detailed image by refining the sharpness of each pixel.
The term Super Sampling refers to the anti-aliasing (or anti-aliasing) technology that has long been available in all games. In order to render a 3D image in real-time, you need to tell your screen which pixel should be on or off to avoid the jagged effect. Some methods try to blur everything a bit more to give that impression, but DLSS works via artificial intelligence.
Nvidia’s DLSS 3 drove me crazy!
In fact, anti-aliasing is a method that drains a lot of resources from your graphics card and with the launch of games that are becoming more and more realistic and detailed, Nvidia saw fit to develop a technology that uses artificial intelligence to make the image even sharper than it was before with classic anti-aliasing.
As I’m sure you understood, Nvidia’s goal is that your graphics card doesn’t have to overload itself with calculations to create more effective antialiasing or even upscale an image, but instead delegates this to artificial intelligence.
The peculiarity of DLSS 3 is that it is able to predict the possible future images that will appear on the screen, maintaining a higher pixel density, giving the impression of an even more fluid and dynamic image.
Now that you understand what DLSS 3 is, you need to underst and how it works and how it can help you in game.
Nvidia has an AI running on a supercomputer (Convolutional Neural Network) and this system calculates the correct pixel density for display on the screen, even if you started your game in a very low resolution. For example, if you’re running a game at 480p, DLSS 3 “artificially” enlarges the image by stretching the pixels while leaving the graphics card alone. This AI-calculated bombardment of images is still perfectable and we can easily spot some artifacts, but this method is enhanced by the downloadable drivers of the Nvidia GeForce Experience software.
In the end, your ultra-powerful RTX 4090 graphics card doesn’t have to calculate the pixel display when you’re in 4K or even 8K and can focus on stable frame rates.
For once, DLSS allows you to get a much more stable frame rate and a much sharper, higher quality image. Technically, DLSS can prevent graphics cards from overheating by preventing them from computing very heavy tasks, such as decompressing very high-resolution textures.
In general, you can enable DLSS 3 directly from the game’s options. There are multiple modes to choose from, oscillating between quality and fluidity so the image adapts to the experience you want.
