NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation Plugins to be Publicly Available for Developers at GDC; Latest Enhancements Include DLSS 3 Coming Soon to Unreal Engine 5.2
NVIDIA has announced the public release of DLSS Frame Generation plugins for developers to integrate into their games and applications. This move will enable even more developers to adopt the framerate-boosting technology that DLSS technology offers. Developers can access DLSS Frame Generation via NVIDIA Streamline, an open-source, cross-vendor framework that makes integrating super-resolution technologies into 3D games and apps more straightforward.
DLSS technology has always been improving through ongoing training on NVIDIA's AI supercomputer. The public release will incorporate the latest DLSS enhancements made earlier this year. These enhancements include better utilization of game engine data by DLSS Frame Generation, which improves UI stability and image quality during fast movement. DLSS Super Resolution also improves Ultra Performance mode, with finer detail stability and overall better image quality. Furthermore, DLAA enhances image quality, reduces ghosting, and improves edge smoothness in high-contrast scenarios.
Unreal Engine is an open and advanced real-time 3D creation tool that allows game developers and creators to deliver cutting-edge real-time 3D content, interactive experiences, and immersive virtual worlds with freedom and control. NVIDIA released a free DLSS 2 plugin for Unreal Engine in February 2021, which made it easy for any developer to accelerate their game or app's performance, further accelerating DLSS adoption. DLSS 3 will be released as an Unreal Engine Marketplace plugin for Unreal Engine 5.2 in the near future, allowing all Unreal Engine developers and creators to take full advantage of DLSS 3's AI-powered performance multiplier.
Nick Penwarden, Vice President of Engineering at Epic Games, said, "NVIDIA DLSS 3 introduces truly impressive frame generation technology, and the Unreal Engine 5.2 plugin will offer developers a great choice for increased quality and performance of their games."
