This framework allows developers to easily implement one single integration and enable multiple super-resolution technologies and other graphics effects supported by the hardware vendor.

It sits between the game and render API, and abstracts the SDK-specific API calls into an easy-to-use Streamline framework. Instead of manually integrating each SDK, developers simply identify which resources (motion vectors, depth, etc) are required for the target super-resolution plug-ins and then set where they want the plug-ins to run in their graphics pipeline. The framework is also extensible beyond super resolution SDKs, with developers able to add NVIDIA Real-time Denoisers (NRD) to their games via Streamline. ## Supported Technologies ### DLSS NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a neural graphics technology that multiplies performance using AI to create entirely new frames and display higher resolution through image reconstruction—all while delivering best-in-class image quality and responsiveness.

DLAA uses the same technology developed for DLSS, but works on a native resolution image to maximize image quality instead of boosting performance.

The NVIDIA Image Scaling SDK is a great complement to NVIDIA DLSS for developers looking for a solution to support non-RTX GPUs.

It provides high image quality when developers have a limited budget of rays per pixel.

A: You can integrate DLSS using the standard NGX style approach or use Streamline. Q: What APIs and engines are currently supported by Streamline? A: Streamline supports DirectX 11 and DirectX 12. Vulkan support coming soon. Q: Does Streamline support non-NVIDIA technologies? A: Yes, the Streamline core runs on all modern GPUs, however each supported Streamline plugin has varying compatibility. See [documentation](https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline/tree/main/docs) for detailed information. Q: How do I move from the current DLSS integration? A: The Streamline [programming guide](https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline/blob/main/docs/ProgrammingGuide.md) details how to integrate DLSS using Streamline. Q: Will new support be coming to Streamline? A: New features and plugins will be added in the future. Ready to get started with Streamline?
