Solving this problem through brute force requires hundreds, sometimes thousands of paths per pixel, but this is far too expensive for real-time rendering. Before NVIDIA RTX introduced real-time ray tracing to games, global illumination in games was largely static. Direct illumination alone (left) lacks indirect reflections.

NVIDIA set out to redefine real-time rendering through AI-based super resolution — rendering a fraction of the original pixels and then using AI to reconstruct sharp, higher resolution images. With DLSS, users can maximize ray-tracing settings and increase output resolution.

Nvidia DLSS uses AI to create new frames, reconstruct the image for a higher resolution, and improve the image quality of ray-traced content. Yes Nvidia DLSS is only for RTX graphics cards as they are the only ones able to perform ray tracing. What does Nvidia DLSS do? Does DLSS improve FPS? Is Nvidia DLSS only for RTX?

Low resolution usually means less pixel warps and thus more idle time for the SMs and more overlap potential. Ray tracing Shadow map rasterization RTCore / FP overlaps Graphics (ZROP/PROP/RASTER) datapath. Verify the behavior across different GPU tiers. High-end GPUs have more SM units, so more potential for overlap.

For example, a shader can use warp shuffle instructions to exchange data between threads in a warp without going through shared memory, which is especially valuable in pixel shaders where there is no shared memory. This example, on the other hand, can be plugged into virtually any pixel shader, and the effect is obvious. x, u1 mov r3.yz,

(Example: Soft light from a computer screen) There are two main methods to calculate lighting quality: Ray Tracing. Faster but less realistic, it determines colors based on how much of each pixel is covered by light. Mimics how light behaves in the real world for very realistic visuals but requires a lot of computing power.
