Elder Scrolls Online video shows Nvidia’s new DLAA tech in action

The Elder Scrolls Online is the first game to implement Nvidia DLAA (Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing), and thanks to YouTuber MxBenchmarkPC you can now see how the AI-powered edge-smoothing system looks in the fantasy MMO. DLAA is a new spin on Nvidia’s existing DLSS (Deep Learning Super-Sampling): whereas DLSS involves rendering a game at a lower resolution then upscaling, reducing the performance hit of the AA it applies, DLAA skips the upscaling part and keeps the resolution native.

week ago it was announced that The Elder Scrolls Online would be the first game to show off Nvidia's deep learning anti-aliasing. The tech is based on the same idea as Nvidia's DLSS (coming to The Elder Scrolls Online at the same time), only instead of improving performance, DLAA uses AI upscaling to improve image quality—reducing jagged edges while running at your native resolution, where DLSS runs games at a lower resolution and uses upscaling to make it less noticeable...

Elder Scrolls Online gets DLSS and new DLAA technology for Nvidia RTX GPUs

Nvidia's proprietary AI upscaling technique, Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS), has made its RTX 2000 and 3000 series products some of the best graphics cards available to buy, provided you can find one. In a recent livestream, Elder Scrolls Online creative director, Rich Lambert, revealed that not only would the MMO soon benefit from DLSS but would also serve as the debut title for Nvidia's new Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing (DLAA).

Nvidia DLSS is viewed as something of a gold standard for image upscaling solutions, despite competition from AMD with its open source FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) while Intel's upcoming XeSS still needs thorough testing. DLSS uses AI to reconstruct images from a lower resolution, allowing games to render at higher resolutions with higher levels of performance than would otherwise be possible with native rendering.

Elder Scrolls Online joins the growing number of games to support DLSS but will be the first game to support DLAA. Alex Tardif, lead graphics engineer at ZeniMax Online Studios, took to Twitter to give an overview of how DLAA works and the benefit it offers players.

The Elder Scrolls Online will be the first game with Nvidia's new DLAA tech

During a livestream showcasing the Deadlands DLC zone coming to The Elder Scrolls Online, as well as changes being added in its next base-game patch, creative director Rich Lambert mentioned a new tech from Nvidia would debut in the MMO: Deep Learning Anti-Aliasing, or DLAA. It's like DLSS (which The Elder Scrolls Online is also getting), but instead of running at a lower resolution to get a framerate boost while using AI to upscale everything so it still looks shiny, DLAA runs at native resolution while using that same deep learning for extra edge-smoothing...
