    Wait DLSS is about upscaling right? The “features” mentioned in OP’s post are about motion interpolation that makes the video seem to be playing at higher fps than the standard 24fps used in movies and shows.

      Because names mean nothing Nvidia has also labeled their frame generation as “DLSS”.

      It allows more resolution by cutting the fps. Fake frames are inserted into the gaps to get the fps back.

          What you’re thinking of is “DLSS Super Resolution.” The other commenters are right, nVidia insists on calling all of their various upscaling schemes “DLSS” regardless of whether they’re image resolution interpolation or frame interpolation. Apparently just to be annoying.

          There is a marginally handy chart on their website:

          All of it is annoying and terrible regardless of what it’s called, though.

        Its simply “visual noise” that tricks the viewer into thinking they are getting more of something than they are. Its a cheap inconsistent filler. Its nvidia not admitting they hit a technical wall and needing a way to force new inferior products onto the market to satisfy sales.
