Nvidia DLSS arrives in Rust and gets extended support in Linux

Nvidia continues to put a lot of effort into making its DLSS upscaling technology available. The technology is based on machine learning and artificial intelligence, using local calculations with the Tensor cores in the Geforce RTX 2000 series and Geforce RTX 3000 series. New games are announced as closely as possible that support the technology, and at the beginning of June, a dozen titles were added in connection with Computex 2021.

In the same update, Nvidia also confirms that support for DLSS in Linux will be rolled out from 22 June. The support is limited and has been developed in collaboration with Valve, which means that DLSS will be available via Proton for titles that use the Vulkan interface.
