Fun thing, both SA and ChipsAndChesse similarly dunked on that presentation:

Once one is over the odor of the headline, the announcement reads:

* Neural Super Sampling (NSS) reconstructs higher-resolution images from lower-resolution renders, reducing the amount of conventional rendering work needed to produce a high-quality final image.

* Neural Frame Rate Upscaling (NFRU) generates intermediate frames to increase frame rates and deliver smoother gameplay.

* Neural Super Sampling and Denoising (NSSD) combines neural upscaling with denoising to improve image quality in demanding ray-traced scenes with complex lighting and shadows.

So yeah, more uncanny valley garbage. Yuck.

So, image processing and no intelligence.

And nor is reconstructs true.

Pretty much all cutting edge graphics papers now use some form of NN. To ignore the techniques and gains at the cutting edge would leave any hardware mfr behind. It’s not nonsense or marketing speak. It’s genuine capability improving technology.

To see a representative stream of papers, go to arxiv and look through the recent graphics papers.
