New comparisons confirm that graphics card manufacturer Nvidia is unrivalled in its ability to calculate and train AI. And that ultimately affects all players. You can find out why that is the case here on MeinMMO.
Why should you care about Nvidia’s capabilities in artificial intelligence? AI can do a lot these days and is doing more on a daily basis. Nvidia has also been using it, or rather the sub-area of machine learning, in gaming for several years.
Every title that uses DLSS benefits from the company’s knowledge in this field. And that’s why every Nvidia user can be happy because the games are getting more stylish and performing better at the same time.
What is DLSS? Deep Learning Super Sampling, this is what DLSS stands for. In simple terms, this is a program code that runs on your Nvidia RTX 2000 or higher GPU and gives you more frames per second, i.e. a smoother image without any major loss in image quality.
What do the benchmarks say? According to a report by zdnet, Nvidia took first place in all disciplines in a comparison test and also took second place with a second, differently configured system. Only then did AMD, Intel and Google follow with competing products.
Techniques like DLSS are also immensely important for implementing modern VR environments such as Deep Dive:
The “Deep Dive” is supposed to let us delve deeper into MMORPGs than ever before – What is that actually?

What was tested? Nvidia didn’t use any graphics cards like the ones you can buy in stores. But the technology of the RTX GPUs and the tested H100 models is related. In both cases, so-called tensor cores are used. If you want to know more about this, you can read about the devices for large customers here at Nvidia, for example.
How was this tested? The systems had to complete various tasks, all related to training AIs, i.e. preparing them for use in everyday life, including:
Speaking of artificial intelligence: Even apart from little helpers like DLSS, they have long been indispensable, but they are often the villains. In the case of the sci-fi strategy game Stellaris, both are true. The developers at Paradox Entertainment not only relied on one or two AI creations when creating the latest add-on “The Machine Age”, but also took machine intelligence to a completely new level in terms of narrative – as an enemy or as a friend.
