NVIDIA announced the nine more games now support DLSS, which helps deliver improved visuals without dragging down system performance. DLSS is now supported onNo Man’s Sky, AMID EVIL, Aron’s Adventure, Everspace 2, Redout: Space Assault, Scavengers, and Wrench. It’s also available in virtual reality headsets for No Man’s Sky, Into The Radius, and Wrench. This is the first time that virtual reality games support DLSS. With the nine newly-supported titles, a total of 50 games support DLSS.
DLSS, short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, is an AI-based technology that’s less demanding on your GPU than normal supersampling. Despite using fewer system resources than traditional supersampling, it can result in a game that looks better and show more detail.

NVIDIA explains that DLSS support boosts performance of No Man’s Sky up to 70% at 4K. As a result of DLSS support, No Man’s Sky should see smoother and more responsive gameplay. In virtual reality mode, DLSS doubles VR performance at the Ultra graphics preset, according to NVIDIA. The game should be able to maintain 90 FPS on anOculus Quest 2when paired with aGeForce RTX 3080.
Similar boosts in performance appear in all of the newly-supported games. AMID EVIL sees a boost of up to 2.7X at 4K with settings maxed out. Aron’s Adventure sees a 60% FPS boost with DLSS support.
