VR Tech Gives DLSS 5 a Big Performance Boost on Ultrawide Monitors

A third-party modder has added VR-style foveated rendering to the DLSS 5 neural rendering pipeline, boosting performance of the generative filter technology by up to 60% in some cases on ultrawide monitors, VideoCardz reported. The mod targets Nvidia's DLSS 5 and was measured on the RTX 4090, per VideoCardz. The result matters because it shows a VR rendering technique can cut the cost of DLSS 5's generative filtering on wide-aspect displays.
