**NVIDIA Introduces Image Scaler: A New Tool for Enhanced Gaming Performance**

In the ever-evolving world of gaming technology, NVIDIA has once again made waves with the introduction of its latest innovation: the NVIDIA Image Scaler (NIS), affectionately nicknamed "Niss." This new tool promises to revolutionize how games perform across various hardware setups, offering benefits that extend far beyond NVIDIA's existing DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology.

### What is NVIDIA Image Scaler?

The NVIDIA Image Scaler operates as a spatial scaler, much like AMD's FSR (Fidelity Super Resolution). Instead of rendering games at their native resolution, NIS downgrades the resolution slightly to boost frame rates, then up-scales the image back to its original size. This method enhances performance without significantly compromising visual quality. While it may not match the image quality of DLSS, which relies on AI-powered processing, NIS offers a more universally applicable solution.

### How Does It Compare to AMD's FSR?

AMD's FSR has been a game-changer for gamers without NVIDIA GPUs. It doesn't require specialized hardware and runs in real-time, offering performance gains comparable to DLSS but with slightly inferior image quality due to its reliance on spatial upscaling rather than AI-based processing. Unlike FSR, NIS is integrated into NVIDIA drivers, making it compatible with any supported NVIDIA GPU, regardless of whether the game natively supports it.

### Benefits for Game Developers and Gamers Alike

NVIDIA's strategic move with NIS aims to broaden its reach beyond the traditional DLSS user base. By offering developers an easy-to-implement option within their games, NVIDIA encourages widespread adoption across titles. This integration not only enhances performance but also provides a seamless experience for players using NVIDIA GPUs while still allowing DLSS to shine when supported.

### The Marketing Play: Showcasing DLSS's Value

While NIS democratizes performance enhancements, it simultaneously highlights the unique advantages of DLSS. By providing superior image quality and flexibility through AI processing, DLSS retains its edge as a premium option. This clever marketing strategy ensures that NVIDIA maintains its position in the market while catering to a broader audience.

### Early Reception and Future Prospects

Currently in its early stages, NIS shows promise but isn't without issues. It shares similar challenges with FSR, such as artifacts and shimmering effects, which are areas for improvement. However, as technology advances, these drawbacks may diminish, making NIS a valuable tool for enhancing gaming performance across the board.

### The Sponsor Message: Upgrading Your Memory

Before wrapping up, it's worth considering the hardware that supports these advancements. Corsair's DDR5 memory solutions, like Vengeance and Dominator Platinum, offer the bandwidth and stability needed to maximize performance in modern systems. Whether you're upgrading your system or simply looking for reliable components, Corsair's offerings are worth exploring.

### Conclusion: A New Era of Gaming Performance

NVIDIA's Image Scaler marks a significant step forward in gaming technology, offering benefits that transcend hardware boundaries. While it doesn't overshadow DLSS, NIS serves as an inclusive solution, making high-performance gaming accessible to more players than ever before. As this technology evolves, we can expect further improvements that continue to push the envelope of what's possible in gaming.

So, whether you're a die-hard NVIDIA fan or open to exploring AMD's offerings, the future of gaming looks brighter with each technological leap forward. Stay tuned for more updates and let us know your thoughts on NIS in the comments below!

well we've now got a new version and it's better than ever is that it is that the end of the video absolutely friggin not because nvidia has actually launched something that is going to benefit everybody oh no forgotten the name what's it called again surprise surprise it's dubbed nvidia image scaler or niss for short which sounds a little bit like something someone would say to you at school uh you've got niss no i don't my mum checked yesterday and it is absolutely fascinating because it is worse than dlss it is not actually meant to replace this technology instead it's meant to make every game you own better than ever unless it has dlss then it'll be slightly worse let me explain why this is such a massive deal and how it's going to affect you and give you better frame rates no matter what graphics card you have after a quick word from this video sponsor ddr5 memory is here and corsair has you covered extra bandwidth sky high speeds and slick view designs make corsair ddr5 shine with new intel xmp 3.0 profiles that allow for crazy high overclocks with just a single click choose vengeance for stylish performance without breaking the bank or go all out with dominator platinum for insane speeds stability and jaw-dropping rgb effects learn more today with that link down below the news in short then is that niss has arrived nvidia image scaler and this is a spatial scalar that's very similar to the way amd's fsr works which is fidelity super resolution the way it works is actually pretty straightforward and very easy to understand instead of running a game at the full native resolution you're essentially turning it down a little bit which increases your frame rates obviously this affects the image quality it's not going to look as good as if it was native but the clever bit is that you then get this image and you put it through an upscaler with the aim to get as close as possible to the native image so that you're getting all of the benefits of the image quality but then you're also getting extra performance this space has definitely been heating up a lot in the last year or so as well dlss has been out for quite a while it's required one of these an rtx graphics card but unless you've been living under a rock for the last few years you'll know that these things are definitely very much a hot commodity amd's counter to this has only really arrived in the last few months with amd's fsr technology unlike nvidia it doesn't require any special hardware to work at all it all runs in real time the performance gains are actually pretty similar the only caveat is that image quality isn't quite so good because you're relying on a spatial upscaler rather than using the ai cores actually baked into one of these cards that will ultimately give you a better end result and that really is the key strength of dlss image quality as long as you have the hardware you have more data inputs it actually runs across multiple frames rather than just one you get slightly more detailed image less artifacting and ultimately a little bit more flexibility is you can tune the ai algorithm to more intelligently know what it is that it's seeing rather than relying on a spatial upscaler that just sees one image at a time however this comes with one major downside what if you don't have an nvidia card what if you don't like it what if the only team green that you're on is the color of your dog poo bags the room's gonna stink now this is the main advantage that amd has and it's why nvidia has actually been pretty wired for the last few months and has been developing their own solution because if you're a game developer why would you put dlss in your game when relatively speaking not that many users can actually access this tool it takes time to develop these things and if you've used dlss in any title over the last few years you'll know that the implementation's not always been perfect there's been a lot of tuning to get it to where it is today alternatively you could just put amd's free fsr technology that's open source in your title and while it might not be quite as good as dlss from an image quality point of view ultimately you're benefiting everybody that plays your game not just rtx users so this is where the lovely guys over at nvidia come in and they're helping out everybody from the kindness of their hearts it's got absolutely nothing to do with shareholders or making more money for all intents and purposes fsr and this work in pretty much the same way with the exception that it's actually baked into the drivers now so even a game that doesn't natively support it which is something like call of duty here you could turn this on you could run it at different levels of resolution so you get different image quality amounts different performance gains this works at a driver level with any supported nvidia graphics card which is any one that the current driver supports really not only does this work across pretty much any title but the really clever bit is that they're actually giving developers the chance to put this into their game as an option that will appear in the menu you might be thinking that's a bit of a strange thing to do i thought we just said this will work in any game and yes it will for nvidia users but they're making this open source pretty much any developer can use this amd kind of dropped and optimize i guess for this in their drivers where the lines start to blur a little bit between very sly but also quite genius is the fact that if you do implement niss into your game then it does also give developers the very quick and easy way to also enable dss on rtx graphics cards at the same time so essentially what nvidia is doing is stopping amd getting all of these fsr supported titles obviously there will always be amd games and nvidia ones but the ones that are actually in the middle which is probably most titles that don't have allegiance to team green or team amd you're gonna think they're gonna start to look at niss over fsr assuming they are pretty much the same when it comes to image quality and ease of implementation just because i guess it benefits even more people now rather than fsr which is everybody this is sort of more than everybody i feel a little bit torn about this really because on one hand this is massive news that benefits pretty much every gamer out there regardless of whether you're on team red team green obviously this technology will improve over time at the moment it's a little bit buggy to be honest with you but as i say it's still very early doors it does also share the same issues that you'll find with fsr you will get some artifacting some weird shimmering and while they do give you a slider to adjust the sharpness it still isn't as good as dlss but this is where it all plays into nvidia's hands because that is half the point they've released something that benefits everybody but also shows everybody that dlss is still a feature that's worth it because it's better they have quite literally put out an advertisement to increase people's fps and also show that dlss is something you should buy as well so it's marketing genius but i feel a little bit dirty talking about it hmm what can i say so this isn't all pro nvidia intel xcss is the future guys mic drop smash that like button get
