Experience Real-Time Ray Tracing with NVIDIA DLSS in Unity HDRP

NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) is natively supported for the High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP) in Unity 2021.2. NVIDIA DLSS uses advanced AI rendering to produce image quality that’s comparable to native resolution—and in some cases even better—while only conventionally rendering a fraction of the pixels. With NVIDIA DLSS, Unity developers can create beautiful ray-traced worlds in real time, running at high frame rates and resolutions on NVIDIA RTX GPUs. DLSS also provides a substantial performance boost for traditional rasterized graphics.

NVIDIA Reflex in Unity allows game developers to implement a low-latency mode that aligns game engine work to complete just-in-time for rendering, eliminating the GPU render queue and reducing CPU back pressure in GPU-bound scenarios. As a developer, system latency can be one of the hardest metrics to optimize for. In addition to latency reduction functions, the SDK also features measurement markers to calculate both game and render latency, which is useful for debugging and visualizing in-game performance counters.
