Nvidia's latest DLSS revision reduces VRAM usage by 20% for upscaling — optimizations reduce overhead of more powerful transformer model

DLSS versions compared.

Besides moving DLSS 4 out of beta, Nvidia has also optimized VRAM usage in its latest DLSS SDK release. Initially discovered by VideoCardz, DLSS 310.3.0 improves the Transformer model VRAM usage by 20%.

DLSS's updated memory footprint brings its overall memory impact closer to that of the older CNN model. Previously, the DLSS transformer model consumed nearly twice as much memory as the CNN model it replaces. Still, with Nvidia's latest VRAM optimizations, the transformer model now consumes just 40% more memory than the CNN model.
