Users can now download an open beta to test Apex Compute's claim that its neural rendering suite outperforms and outshines Nvidia DLSS frame generation. Super resolution and ray reconstruction (denoising) components are still in development.

Apex's YouTube clips show its frame generation producing less ghosting than DLSS in The Last of Us Part II and Hogwarts Legacy. Internal benchmarks also show that 2x frame generation on an RTX 5090 at 4K costs...
