“Before we can really assess what deep learning might do for our gaming rigs in five or ten years’ time, it’s important to pin down what exactly’s happening in those Tensor cores” As sales pitches go, Nvidia’s deep learning supersampling (DLSS) is as revelatory, and preposterously sci-fi, as it gets. Specific cores dedicated to machine learning, harnessing bleeding-edge algorithms, take resource-friendly 1440p resolution images and blow them up to super-sharp 4K proportions – and all without the performance hit of actually running at that higher resolution in the first place.
Along with that quietly revolutionary real-time ray tracing capability, DLSS was the big selling point of Turing cards. But while the advantages are real, and available to you in a generous swathe of games, its uneven execution from title to…
