Comment on What does DLSS do, and what's up with DLSS 5?
howrar@lemmy.ca 5 hours agoUpscaling = artificially increasing the sampling rate through some sort of inter/extrapolation.
Temporal = it’s happening on the temporal axis.
Samples on the temporal axis are frames.
Therefore, temporal upscaling = artificially sampling more frames = frame gen?

No, that’s like saying TAA is frame gen.
Using temporal data to upscale is different than inserting frames that weren’t there to begin with.

TAA as in temporal anti-aliasing? Is that not frame generation? It’s interpolating between frames to create a frame that wasn’t previously there. Just like how spatial anti-aliasing generates pixels that weren’t previously there.
I think maybe we have a different idea of what “generation” means. I’m guessing your idea of “generation” is when it surpasses some threshold of information added through the process.

In TAA every other pixel is rendered traditionally and the others are filled in. So it’s not frames generated it’s pixels that are generated.
And dlss does that same thing but in a different way. It’s like smart sharpening and takes a blurry image and makes it sharpen. No new frames, but a sharper image than is natively generated.
