'Put them on the slides': How Jensen Huang invented and then announced Nvidia's DLSS AI upscaling tech in just two weeks

Jen-Hsun Huang, president and chief executive officer of Nvidia Corp., holds up the new Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics processor during the company's event at the 2019 Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S., on Sunday, Jan. 6, 2019.

Before and after upscaling. Arguably, that's the most critical dividing line in gaming graphics hardware of the past 20 years. And it was, of course, Nvidia's DLSS upscaling that created that inflection point on release in 2019. But now it turns out DLSS went from an idea to a new feature announced to the public in just two weeks. And it was all Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's idea, apparently.

If that's an eye popping revelation, the fact that Nvidia also saw DLSS as a tool to charge more money for graphics cards is less surprising. But hold that thought. All of this comes courtesy of a new book on Nvidia, The Nvidia Way: Jensen Huang and the Making of a Tech Giant.
