Nvidia said in a statement that the latest Deep Learning Super Sampling is “the company's most significant breakthrough in computer graphics since the debut of real-time ray tracing in 2018."

What Is DLSS 5?
Nvidia’s DLSS, released for the first time in 2018, is an AI-powered rendering technology that boosts gaming performance (FPS) and image quality.
DLSS 5 will bring real-time AI to video games that will infuse pixels with photoreal lighting and materials to elevate computer graphics to a level that was “only achieved in Hollywood visual effects.”
“Twenty-five years after Nvidia invented the programmable shader, we are reinventing computer graphics once again,” said Huang. “DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics — blending handcrafted rendering with generative AI to deliver a dramatic leap in visual realism while preserving the control artists need for creative expression,” he added.
The new AI-driven computer graphics will be supported by some of the industry’s biggest publishers and game developers, including Bethesda, CAPCOM, Hotta Studio, NetEase, NCSOFT, S-GAME, Tencent, Ubisoft ,and Warner Bros. Games, Nvidia said.
