I’m skeptical of Apex’s DLSS-beating claims, but this free tool deserves a look

AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

Apex Compute unveiled its Apex Neural Rendering (ANR), a cross‑platform super‑resolution, ray reconstruction, and frame‑generation technology that claims up to 2.4× faster performance and higher quality than NVIDIA’s DLSS. ANR supports NVIDIA RTX 20‑50 series, GTX 16 series, AMD Radeon RX 5000‑9000 series, Steam Deck, and Intel Arc A/B series. Early tests on an RTX 5090 show lower memory usage and faster frame generation, but the company has yet to release data on mid‑range GPUs.

💡 Why It Matters

  • · ANR’s broad vendor support could democratize high‑quality upscaling, giving gamers on older hardware a viable alternative to DLSS.
