Unity begins adding DLSS3!

Thanks for the above responses and I’m grateful for the work you guys do on implementing these features. Some comments & questions -

• If possible, for DLSS3 (& any future upscaling implementations) please continue to leave the nvngx dll (or similar) exposed after the build as it’s own file. This lets swapping between the various versions of DLSS (including for the current DLSS2 implementation) be fully independent (players can do it too) vs the Unity provided versions. Albeit, it might be nice to be able to drop in the nvngx dll version you want as a developer into your build to experiment with versions. Nvngx tends to be pretty consistently improved per version in my experience, but there’s still sometimes some regressions in areas, so dropping in different versions might be helpful.

• Similarly, there is a vibrant DLSS<->FSR2<->XESS mod community. For example, there’s currently over a million downloads with the top 3 mods doing this for Starfield alone. I’m mentioning this because the current Unity DLSS2 implementation appears to have a hardcoded gpu-check. This makes these mods difficult or impossible vs other game engines. A nice feature for Unity games might be easier access to the gpu check and other various upscaling settings to enable this sort of modding & tweaks this community likes (perhaps an config file). The community has actually improved on many upscaling implementations (& old/poorly maintained ones), so this could be helpful to game devs using Unity as well. Figured it was worth mentioning this for future & current implementations of upscaling.

• Sorry if I missed it somewhere - is there/will there be support for Nvidia recommended methods of handling thin objects/particle effects/etc? Ie the nvidia discussed 2d binary mask+BiasCurrentColor combo and/or Conservative raster? How about for changing the Presets (ie A-G)?

• Other upscaling items - I still think FSR1 & CAS have their uses, even alongside newer upscaling, and I hope to see them continue to be maintained & updated (I think FSR1 is still on 1.0 for example). Also, +1 on FSR3 & the Hyper-RX feature set, I was disappointed FSR2 didn’t make it in (thanks to Alterego though on that one).

You’re very welcome!

1 year passed and we still don’t have DLSS 3

Hey sorry about that and thanks for your patience.

To be honest, the lack of resources on HDRP made this development lasts way longer than it was initially planned for.

Can’t give you any date but it should happen relatively soon now.
