The notoriously optimized Rust just got a helping hand in the form of DLSS support, which will become available on July 1st.

The groundbreaking survival game received an extensive visual update earlier in 2021, including an extensive revamp of certain areas and a general graphical overhaul, which should serve to bolster the game’s popularity. DLSS 2.0 means that PC gamers will be able to run the game on higher resolutions with less of a performance hit, which should help make the game look as nice as possible, without hindering player’s FPS in those nerve-wracking PVP engagements the game is well known for.

As we’ve reported, Rainbow Six Siege showed a 50% improvement in performance at 4K. Though we don’t have any data as to the exact performance uplift for Rust yet, we’re excited to see what DLSS 2.0 can deliver.

 

 

 

What Is DLSS?

Deep Learning Super Sampling (or DLSS) is a proprietary upscaling technology from Nvidia. It uses Tensor Core AI processors within the GPU to effectively shortcut the rendering process for pixels on higher resolution images, reducing the strain on the hardware in games and consequently improving the FPS performance.

Higher-resolution gaming, at 4K in particular, therefore benefits greatly from this technology.

DLSS 1.0 was somewhat of a disappointment, but the DLSS 2.0 iteration has proved very impressive. Although AMD’s FSR technology aims to compete with DLSS, it is based on different technology and is no way near as powerful.

Summary From halcyon days playing Sonic 2 on the Megadrive, to trying to work out how to make the 'TOASTY!' man appear on Mortal Kombat 3, many of Aaron’s fondest childhood memories are associated with gaming. He regrets nothing. First getting into PC gaming through exposure to Drug Lord 2.0 and then the original Half Life, he has been a fiend ever since. The only thing Aaron loves more than history, gaming, laptops, and writing is finding a good deal, so look out for his laptop deals pages this year. Experience With jobs ranging from working the tills in a bookies to running administration at a political think tank in Westminster, plus a stint in investment management, Aaron has had a varied career. What has remained constant however has been his eagerness to learn new things, his ability to do in-depth research, his eye for detail, and his talent for editing (words and video). All of these skills he utilises in his job - making sure the consumer has the very best idea as to whether a laptop is worth their time and money, and working hard to ensure no detail is missed in his in-depth reviews.
