NVIDIA DLSS is the public SDK repository for NVIDIA's RTX Deep Learning Super Sampling, a neural network that boosts game frame rates and generates sharp, high-quality upscaled images. It ships as prebuilt binaries with a sample app and integrates with DX11, DX12, and Vulkan rendering pipelines.

Use cases

• integrate DLSS upscaling into a DirectX 12 game engine
• boost frame rates in a Vulkan game using AI super resolution
• render games at lower resolution and upscale with deep learning
• evaluate DLSS image quality with the included sample app
• add NVIDIA RTX upscaling support to a custom renderer
• sharpen and scale game frames cross-platform with NIS

When to choose

• you are developing a game or engine targeting NVIDIA RTX GPUs and want AI upscaling
• you need to improve performance while maintaining image quality in DX11/DX12/Vulkan titles
• you want the official, NVIDIA-supported DLSS binaries and SDK

When to avoid

• you need source code or the ability to modify the neural network model, as the SDK ships only prebuilt binaries under a restrictive license
• you target non-NVIDIA GPUs or need a fully open-source upscaling solution
• you need a general-purpose image processing library unrelated to real-time game rendering
