Starfield gamers have begun pirating a popular upscale mod for the game after the developer placed it behind a paywall. The mod, as its name implies

… supports DLSS3, a more modern upscaler that is compatible with more recent Nvidia cards.

Gotta love errors in tech articles.

Thats more due to Nvidia making both Frame Generation, Upscaling and the original use, Anti Aliasing (the SS in DLSS is super sampling) the same term.

Realistically, DLSS should be referred to as an anti aliasing technique(like TAA is) but it was basically colloquially hijacked to turn into an upscaling tech.

Nvidia already brands the AA different. DLAA is anti-aliasing without upscaling. DLSS is upscaling, AA, frame-generation, and soon also RT denoising.

The problem is DLSS should be the AA (as intended) and not the reverse. DLAA should have stayed DLSS and upscaling should have gotten another name.

Pardon my ignorance, but what’s the error?

Isn’t frame generation dependent on upscaling?

Maybe I misunderstood them but the Digital Foundry guys were just making this point in regards to FSR 3, which is also a frame generation technology. They were saying that you also need to implement FSR 2, as the upscale techniques were used to drive the frame generation. Might not be the same for the Nvidia side of things.

The inputs are mostly the same, so implementing one essentially implements the other. Much like how implementing fsr2 is so similar to dlss and xess. (Which is why these mods came out in a matter of hours after early release)

DF was referring to a question about devs patching old games to add in fsr3 frame gen, as if its some simple toggle for games which may not even have motion vector or optical flow data already exposed.

Well that’s a tad pedantic. Effectively, if not technically, interpolation is upscaling.

Blame Nvidia for their purposefully misleading marketing.
