In recent years theartificial intelligence has been increasingly important within the video game development processes, especially as regards the graphics sector. One of the revolutions in this area is undoubtedly the DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling), which is the proprietary technology of NVIDIA which uses the power of a neural network of deep learning for the purpose of increasing frame rates and generating clear images in games. By exploiting the tensor core of the video cards belonging to the family GeForce RTX 20 and 30 Series, thanks to DLSS it is possible to render images at a certain resolution and perform their upscaling with the help of an AI. This potential will now be exploited by all developers adopting theU, which is the latest version of the game engine developed by epic Games and widely adopted in the gaming industry.
The American company famous for its graphics cards has announced that DLSS support can be obtained by downloading it from Marketplace of UE4 and having at least the version 4.26 of the graphics engine. It is certainly important news. which portends how soon a large number of games will be able to count on this particular technology that, in titles such as Control, immediately showed its potential. In fact, especially in titles that exploit the Ray-Tracing, the presence of DLSS provides important improvements not only in terms of definition but also in performance. In fact, the DLSS version made available on the Unreal Engine Marketplace does not need to be “trained” for every single game thanks to the exploitation of the network, which speeds up super sampling operations requiring significantly less implementation efforts from developers.
Considering, as already mentioned, the wide adoption of the Unreal Engine within the video game industry, NVIDIA's decision to collaborate with Epic Games by providing support for the DLSS 2.0 it is undoubtedly news that makes the future of the sector even more interesting.
