NVIDIA DLSS launches (2018)
NVIDIA shipped Deep Learning Super Sampling, using tensor cores to upscale lower-resolution frames in real time and cut the rendering load. It debuted as a flagship feature of its GeForce RTX GPUs.
Neural upscaling became a headline PC graphics feature and reshaped player expectations for image quality.
Rivals AMD and Intel shipped their own versions (FSR and XeSS); neural upscaling is now a standard PC graphics feature.
Arm's Neural Super Sampling and Neural Frame Rate Upscaling are the same play moved to phones, where power and heat budgets are far tighter.
