It's literally the enhance button from CSI we all laughed at.

Next video "I can manually count the pixels, but is it playable"

I'm so glad that this tech is limited to these massive high performance graphics cards, they really need it

I think its funny how we started rendering higher and higher and downscaling for quality (MSAA) and now we're doing the exact opposite..

Raytracing is cool, but what dlss is doing here is incredible to me.

Watch this on 240p to be the most immersed.

10 years from now: "I Just Upscaled 1 Pixel to 8k and got more than 10000 frame"

While it wasn't intended for lower resolution, I feel like this could provide some benefit a few years from now when current graphics cards have aged, to squeeze a little bit extra performance out of them if you don't want to or can't upgrade yet at that point.

When you realize that downloading the new DLSS drivers is the equivalent of downloading more fps

Jokes on you because I'm watching this at 240p so all of them look the same

Thx for putting the songs used. It's greatly appreciated. Great content too !

I really appreciate it, how you keep the quality of your videos so high after all these years. Most youtubers fade away into mediocrity at some point, but you are still motivated to produce amazing videos. I really like that. Also thank you for including the songs in the description. :)

Finally... *”16 TIMES THE DETAIL!“*

Your DLSS coverage is always fascinating and I'm surprised other creators don't cover this tech in similar detail.

This is an excellent video! Clearly explained and shows the benefits and drawbacks

This is going to be a game changer in the Switch’s successor.

For some reason this is a lot more impressive to me than 1080->4K etc. Seeing it build passable images from such low resolutions is absolutely insane.

Remember that UKposts Compression algorithms are killing the visuals of the video itself, so in reality the image quality is ever so slightly better than presented here, especially when it comes to "1440p" and "2160p" parts of the video.

Worth pointing out that the text (and 2D HUD elements in general) aren't being scaled, those are always being rendered at the screen's resolution _after_ the 3D render has been scaled (assuming the game was coded by developers with a clue). Just in case some people thought DLSS included some CSI-level "zoom in and read a full page of text that's just three pixels wide" voodoo.

This is an absolutely insightful analysis.

Linus: Look at this $10K CAD tv to play 8k with!!!! Phillip: well what happens if you go back to .04K?

it looks like I forgot to put my glasses on lmao

"I'm imagining the switch successor being able to use this" - now, 3 years later this seems very likely. Man's a prophet

Very informative, had yet to investigate the DLSS since I doesn't come across in my games often.

This tech is the future - This is the only way we're gonna power next gen VR experiences without insane unavailable graphics technology. I may not like Nvidia, but holy hot damn do I respect them for this tech. It's a monumental achievement.

8:22 I feel like I'm watching Control run through a 1990s Parasite Eve/Silent Hill graphics filter. Which is, frankly, kinda awesome. DLSS apparently has a time machine built in.

Thank you xx I finally understand it properly haha. I look forward to DLSSing to 4K on my 1080p monitor when I get an 3000 series card in the future xxx

One of the best videos ever! :)

This combined with Geforce Now could deliver some extremely impressive low-bandwidth remote gaming

Unironically, I could see this as an aesthetic to use ina a game with an atmosphere that suits it. It has this weird, dreamy, fuzzy feeling to it that's just a little different from the standard type of blurry.

I love your videos Great work

I do find it interesting how we're moving from the days of solid, static resolutions to things like dynamic resolution-scaling and all sorts of interesting systems like that to ensure a high frame-rate

DLSS (and ai upscaling as a whole) is absolutely fascinating, and I love how many videos you make about it. more people should be bigging this stuff up, it's insanely cool

"To fill you in - DLSS is about rendering a game at a lower resolution, then using clever upscaling trickery to try and return it to the original resolution again" I see what you did there

I just bought a 3060 laptop (max-Q) and honestly, playing Control and Cyberpunk with DLSS is really impressive. I manage 60fps with ultra settings(1080p), that's insane.Thanks for the video

this is good Infos Im talking about dude. appreciated for the infos.

the nintendo switch definitely needs this. maybe for a switch 2

360p to 1080p is actually dope. I would love this technology in low spec systems.

Love hove you used Control as an example. Great game!

Now that Dynamic Resolution Scaling and DLSS together exists, this Ultra Performance DLSS now has a actual use. It's the best DRS Floor ever now, as games can lock the output to 4k with DLSS, and Dynamically Scale the Internal Resolution to lock a Framerate, and more often than not (at least on PC) it will likely fall closer to the 1080p side rather than 720p. Imagine this being used on a Switch 2021, it would be revolutionary imho.

The title made me think that this was a LowSpecGamer video, lol

5:10 I realize now why I was SO CONFUSED when DLSS came out. I was following it when it was being developed as super-AA. When the 2000 series launched and there was all this talk of boosted frame rates at high resolution I had no idea what they were talking about

You are the First guy to ever pronounce Wolfenstein correctly. God bless you!

the best explanation of dlss man!

"Thats the Setting You Avoid On UKposts Because it Sucks" **Me Watching this video at 144p** : Yeah True

8:10 No Philip, please spare them the cucumber. THINK ABOUT THE CHILDREN! oh, you listened.

I just wanna thank you being as I am literally 6 months into my 1st gaming PC. I'm 40 year old man (FML) that has been gaming his entire life thank you for teaching me so much in such a quick video

perfectly put, and couldnt have said it better myself.

"That's the setting you avoid on youtube because it sucks too much to use" Me watching at 144p: what did you say, you blob of pixels?

Judging by the video, DLSS on lower than 720p resolutions honestly just looks like watching a compressed video with low bitrate.

I'd love to see you do this video again with the latest version of DLSS dlls; they're significantly better at their upsampling rendering than what those games came out with originally.

Honestly, I know it isn't very likely, since it could radically shift the GPU market, but I really hope they make very mid-end, low-price GPU with this technology implemented, a TON of people would benefit of something like that happening. The opportunity for the PC gaming market to grow when they offer an affordable, quality, and convenient device to markets without much disposable income is insanely high, imagine places like LatinAmerica, the MiddleEast and North Africa, India and South East Asia, all seeing a dramatic rise in players because instead of needing to save up for 1 to 3 years (in many places it's a lot more!) to buy a decent gaming machine, they'd just need to do so for 3 to 6 months. Again, I don't think that'll happen, but it'd be really cool, gaming should be accessible to the less wealthy if it's at all possible.

It would be cool if they implemented this technology on low powered laptops so they could play games at reasonable frame rates and resolutions.

Budget Gamers: "Heavy breathing*

240p DLSS'd looks like ps1/ps2 games from my childhood memories xD

8:09 Has nothing to do with the topic but this clip is so stupid it might just be the funniest thing I've seen in weeks :D Just how you raise your hands like the mischief you are is amazing Thanks for the video btw. Was an interesting watch. DLSS truly is impressive and using it on lower resolutions was really fun to see!

It's technologies like DLSS that makes me feel like we're living in the future, not the faster and bigger graphics cards, which is just predictable. DLSS is exciting and magical.

Oh no, he's AI upscaling his games now too

Thanks for the current video! Next year I will play at this resolution, on my 3070

Dang, footage of the Switch Pro looking crazy!

The funny thing is, I'm nearsighted, but also unequally between my right and left eyes! So the fact that the background was fuzzy and shimmery actually made my brain think it was higher resolution than it was! It's exactly how I see the world! Who could have imagined that ultra high graphics and ultra high DOF was actually less realistic!

Somehow, Philip found a way to make another AI upscaling video

If you’ve worked with 8k textures you’ll know it’s more the just vram you need, in short it takes a full 30 seconds to transfer an 8k image with a 8 core cpu so it really is ridiculous so I’m glad you highlighted it’s not only because of vram, one of those small things that make me happy :)

2 years later, and games are starting to add DLAA now. It's the best AA solution we've had since MSAA for sure and it finally gives me a reason to use DLSS.

“Quite literally blurring the boundaries” GFY for that absolutely perfect writing

I can't wait for technologies like this to come to integrated graphics. Just imagine running AAA games at 360p on your mom's laptop and it actually looking good!

Great video! I'm getting a laptop with RTX 3070 soon and I can't wait to see it myself. I wonder who sold their soul to make DLSS so good. It's clearly some kind of black magic witchcraft.

This video was recommended to me right now. Guessing UKposts is catching onto what the "Switch 2" (Nintendo NX) will look like?

When is Anti DLSS coming out I want my games to run at 4k and use an AI to make the image worse.

Thank you Philip for being the seemingly the only one that shows the side of DLSS that is *actually* exciting - running games at low resolutions and letting AI do the rest

Don’t know why this video is so good. Watched it 3 times and not like me to do at all.

Control at 427x240 and totally playable. Absolutely amazing! Edit - I would love to test this on some older equipment and see how far back I can go.

DLSS is such a cool bit of optimisation tech. I hope we see it in a lot more titles in the future

Apparently youtube AI thinks that Death Stranding and Control are GTAV though

These results are incredible. I wish we get DLSS or similar technology in more budget friendly products. This would be at its best in lower end GPUs and anything used on laptops.

Imagining this on the Steamdeck... it could help in future-proofing the Steamdeck hardware. If it could be pulled off in Valve's patented new split-rendering VR technique as well, then we could see amazingly good PCVR quality on even just the Steamdeck! Farfetched idea maybe but along with stuff like Unreal's Nanite I'm just really excited at the innovations coming out of software recently. As well as how they'll make lower spec computers stretch way further, making full-quality mobile PC gaming a much more commonplace thing

Since it was first released, I’ve been more excited about DLSS than any other current graphics advancement. The amount of performance headroom you get allows for more expensive effects actually being viable. Love it

Finally. Gaming will look incredible on the backup cam of my car.

I never thought I would hear a documentary's voice in a UKposts channel for gaming.

Just to let you know that Linus people referenced your video but credited some 3klikphilip guy and not you, smh :/

If you're on this tech beat, I'd LOVE for someone to do a deep dive on how this DLSS system is trained. Is it specific to each game? Does it generalize? Could it work for live video? Great work.

This is definitely imperfect, but holy shit for something that is still basically in its infancy, this is absolutely insane. I can only imagine what this will be like in a few years.

It's very impressive tech, the FPS gains are so good.

8:48 WOW! Is that what Steve looks like in DLSS 2.0? I'll buy two mouse mats

I remember 4 years ago at being your kid to work day, a friend of mine took me to Qualcomm where his mom worked and they showed off some experimental tech to upscale videos to 4K in real time. It was super buggy at the time, but it’s crazy to see this is how the tech evolved

I keep forgetting how god damn good death stranding's scenery looks

And here I am remembering how DOOM 1993 used to just display a smaller image in a lower resolution in the center of the screen with big ol' borders.

That 160p to 480p looked very much like an old PS1/2 Game on an CRT-TV. Really gave me nostalgic feelings :D

"240p is so bad it's unusable" you'd be surprised what becomes usable on mississippi internet when you can't use anything else

finally a video that looks like my everyday gaming experience

Thanks a lot for your video :)

could this be used to make games? like say an artist makes a low fidelity textured model of something, uses this to fill in the gaps, and then goes through and removes any artifacts. It could really speed up workflow. dunno much about the industry and the "pipeline" though so I might be talking out my ass

"That's the setting you avoid on UKposts because it sucks too much to use" *Me changing from my usual 144p to 240p so I can see the graphics settings* T_T

Nice tests. It is quite impressive actually. For 8K, sure, render at 4K or a something like than, then upscale for 8K. Difference will be small, and it is basically free. Im in FSR camp, but both are good tech, and are still improving.

This is great demonstration of what the new Nintendo console is going to do to achieve good graphical fidelity on relatively weak hardware. Watching this on phone, even 240p would be good enough for handheld, which means, that it has potential to reach interesting battery life.

I love DLSS. Before Fortnite added it, my game struggled to get to 60fps at 90% of 4k on medium settings, now everything is on maximum, game runs butter smooth and it looks amazing. It's pure magic, and I hope it gets added to as many games as possible.

Imagine if consoles back 20 years ago had this technology! No matter the downsides, it would have been such an amazing improvement!

I didn't even know 8K displays were a thing yet. I remember reading a thing about meta materials maybe 15 years ago or so, and the potential to create incredible stuff with it, such as cameras capable of filming in 32K. It was some crazy resolution like you could take a non-zoomed photo from orbit and the picture would be so high def that if you zoomed in on the image, you could read a post card laying on a sidewalk. Like, a photo without using a telescopic lens. Some crazy shit about negative refraction, where it could make something appear to be floating above the material so detailed that it looks like it's actually there, not some semi-transparent hologram. Makes me wonder whatever happened to the meta material research. I was hoping to see the results by now. Then again, maybe it got bought up by the military, as one of the properties of meta material is the ability to bend light completely around an object and have the light resume the original course. In other words, invisibility cloak. They successfully made an object totally invisible to microwaves (the actual wave, not the cooking machine). Apparently, a display made of meta materials could create an image so high def, you can't distinguish it from reality. Probably where they got the idea in the movie, "Gamer." Anyway, technology is getting crazy. I nearly shit myself when real-time ray tracing was announced. Used to take me over 8 hours back in the day to render a 3D model in 800x600 resolution with ray tracing enabled. Like this Lego walker, which I think too 6 hours to render back when ATI was the dominant GPU maker (early 2000s): scontent-sea1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.18169-9/150704_573756515970942_1040442011_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&ccb=1-7&_nc_sid=cdbe9c&_nc_ohc=4Rz5uLHy7CcAX851lcy&_nc_ht=scontent-sea1-1.xx&oh=00_AfDIY_cXlizzw_l-JRYFf-z8wdhvAFXwlSvmmMUXZIDqOA&oe=637E5C2F What they're doing with A.I. is truly impressive. Check out Nvidia Remix, if you haven't. Utterly mind-blowing, as if real-time ray tracing wasn't mind-blowing enough.

My native gaming rsolution is 256x192. It is the native resolution of the games I play. It is upscaled on the VDP (doubled to 512x384, with an 128x96 overscan border bringing it to 640x480), making it compatible with 4x3 VGA flat panels or multi-sync CRT's. My flat panel display then upscales it again to 1024x768 to match its native resolution.) The result is emulator picture-quality where you can discern each of those pixels as individual little squares. It trashes any coder-intended artifacting or colour bleed trickery, and the jaggies are outrageous (no FSAA in 1981), but I wouldn't have it any other way. The idea of a return to ultra-low resolutions in modern gaming to bump-up the FPS in a $1000 GPU is mind-blowing.

its funny cause this feature would be AMAZING on lower end budget cards lol
