Nixxes graphics programmer: "We have a relatively trivial wrapper around DLSS, FSR2, and XeSS. All three APIs are so similar nowadays, there's really no excuse."

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/Amd

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • DLSS

    NVIDIA DLSS is a new and improved deep learning neural network that boosts frame rates and generates beautiful, sharp images for your games

  • "IT doesn't work that way. DLSS may be a click in some Unreal Games, but custom engines? Yeah, no. You need to modify the code to implement it, which is PROHIBITED by the license Nvidia has you accept when you accept their SDK terms: https://github.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/blob/main/LICENSE.txt DLSS is not FOSS (Free and Open Source) like FSR. For comparison, FSR's license that lets you do whatever the hell you need to get it functioning in the game or improve performance: https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX-FSR/blob/master/license.txt Blame Nvidia for devs not wanting to touch non-free code and enter a legal agreement where they may be litigated down the line...for implementing a technology that SELLS Nvidia GPUs. It's literally like me threatening to sue you for bringing customers to my business. Again, blame Nvidia. By the way, they are also the one that sold you the feature, so let them be the one to implement it. I keep hearing Nvidia is a "god tier software company" but can't implement DLSS on the driver side? Somehow I don't buy it, especially when they release game-ready drivers anyway. And before someone brings up the BS argument it needs game data, anyone can find those memory addresses to get to the engine or they can ask. Considering they are Nvidia, don't think any game dev will keep silent about it or how to interface with their game if there are driver issues. EDIT: Also just so you know, XeSS is also under a similarly stupid license as DLSS XeSS License: https://github.com/intel/xess/blob/main/licenses/LICENSE.pdf Keep in mind this nugget from Intel's license: "No reverse engineering, decompilation, or disassembly..." Only issue is that games need to be DECOMPILED when DEBUGGED! "
