Jensen Huang champions AI upscaling in gaming, but players fear a hardware divide
In context: Upscaling tech like Nvidia's DLSS can enhance lower-resolution images and improve image quality while achieving higher frame rates. However, some gamers are concerned that this technology might become a requirement for good performance – a valid fear, even though only a few games currently list system requirements that include upscaling. As the industry continues to evolve, how developers address these concerns remains to be seen.
