News: About the NVIDIA DLSS 2.0

This past week, NVIDIA announced an update to its Deep Learning Super Sampling technology, aptly dubbed DLSS 2.0.
Deep Learning Super Sampling named DLSS is an NVIDIA RTX technology that uses the power of AI to boost your frame rates.
DLSS essentially takes lower-resolution imagery, and intelligently upscales it to looks like native, higher-resolution output.
Performance was universally improved to varying degrees since the game was being internally rendered at a lower resolution, but image quality wasn’t always optimal and sometimes resulted in unwanted artifacts.
The old DLSS 1.0’s effect on game visuals and performance was a mixed bag, that varied from title to title.
The new DLSS 2.0 comes with DLSS 2.0 improved the quality, balanced, and performance by leveraging the Tensor cores available in its GeForce RTX-series GPUs.
