While I’ve yet to take a look at each game’s new DLSS support myself, Nvidia have released two videos showing it off in-game, as well as the kind of frame rate boost you can expect to see across a couple of graphics cards. You can have a gander at them below.

Admittedly, the Nioh 2 video isn’t quite as impressive as theMount & BladeII one below, as for some reason Nvidia chose to show off what’s possible on anRTX 3070, which, as you can see, can pretty much run the game at 60fps on max settings anyway. Sure, a near-30fps boost up to an average of 90fps is swell and all that, but seeing anRTX 2060’s performance get transformed from a juddering 40fps up to a smooth 60fps like the Bannerlord video below is (to me at least) much more visually impressive, and a better demonstration of what DLSS can do at demanding resolutions.

Still, I’m all for more games getting DLSS support, especially if it means that lower-end cards can start punching above their usual weight. We should hopefully start seeing support become more widespread, too, as just last week Nvidia announced a freeDLSS plug-in for Unreal Engine 4. AMD are also working on a rival piece of technology to counter Nvidia’s proprietary DLSS tech, called FidelityFX Super Resolution for their RX 6000 GPUs, but there’s still no word on when it’s getting released or how many games will support it at launch.
