"3D pixel art" = a 3D engine running in a lower resolution? It looks like 320x200

From the Wikipedia page for DLSS:
The goal of these technologies is to allow the majority of the graphics pipeline to run at a lower resolution for increased performance, and then infer a higher resolution image from this that approximates the same level of detail as if the image had been rendered at this higher resolution. This allows for higher graphical settings and/or frame rates for a given output resolution, depending on user preference.
