Nvidia has updated its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) tech, which improves image quality and clarity, while also improving frame rates. The tech is only available for owners of RTX GeForce graphics cards, as it calls on those all important Tensor cores to do the hard work, but it genuinely looks like this is an option worth turning on at last.
There are a couple of technologies behind the scenes that are powering DLSS 2.0, including improvements to the AI network, which is now twice as fast, an increase in the target resolution along with the addition of temporal feedback, and the shift to using one model for all games. This last point is important, as it should mean that a lot more developers use it.  DLSS 2.0 does still need access to the buffers though, and so does need per game integration as opposed to just magically working with everything, but it's still definitely a step in the right direction.
 
The first game to get the new treatment is MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, which offers up the double whammy of DLSS 2.0 improving image quality and performance. This game was used to show that some finer detail is better rendered using DLSS 2.0 than is visible using native rendering—check out the fencing on top of the installation in the image below. A new driver specifically for MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries will be available from Nvidia by the time you read this, and you'll need this in order to access the DLSS 2.0 goodies.
 
There were some complaints about DLSS 1.0 which I hope have been ironed out in version 2.0

    The example image appears low-res to me and bad in both left and right images. Was this a joke? Why don't they offer a higher quality image to compare?

    I agree with your perspective.  Not sure of the differences between the two images other than the one on the right is lighter.  The fence is barely visible in both, although one post can be seen better.
     
    Getting ready for a new build with some RTX cards.  Hopefully this gets better so I can use this hardware to its capabilitie.

    Instead of the picture in the first post, https://cdn.mos.cms.futur...tJ2S8xZ4BbYXN9hwCB.png
    This one links to the full picture and allows you to zoom in better. YMMV for mobile users but it seems much better on my desktop.

    Looks slightly bright and more contrast to the right while having an increase in FPS.  Can't tell if the detail has increased though.

     Use this Associate Code at your checkouts or follow these instructions for Up to 10% OFF on all your EVGA purchases:

    Looking at them I can notice the detail improvements but wish the pictures had one of the sliders to go between the two. The real thing though is 71fps with it on vs. 90fps. that is a huge difference even if quality remained the same. I think DLSS has shown to be usable in recent games  so DLSS 2.0 should make it even better.

    Use an Associates Code & SAVE 5% - 10% on your purchase. Just click on the associates banner to save, or enter the associates code at checkout on your next purchase. If you choose to use my code I want to personally say "Thank You" for using it.
