Feature Request: Nvidia Streamline Plugin for ARMA 3 DLSS/XeSS/FSR implementation

[distractor2004 14]

Greetings,

 

I would like to request ARMA 3 developers review the Nvidia Streamline plugin framework for possible implementation into ARMA 3 and Enfusion. If there is a better channel to make this request than a general topic then I'm all ears. 🙂

 

Nvidia has recently announced its open-source Streamline technology. Based on my interpretation, the plugin would allow DLSS, XeSS, and FSR to run on any Direct X 11 or DirectX 12 game.

 

Here is the link to Nvidia's site:

 

https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/streamline

 

The actual framework has been posted by Nvidia on github for anyone to review:

And a guide on how to implement DLSS into a DirectX 11 or DirectX 12 game:

 

https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/Streamline/blob/main/docs/ProgrammingGuide.md

 

While I am unsure how much work would be required to integrate this plugin, it appears to require much less efforts and minimal cost than recoding of game libraries for DLSS or FSR 2.0. Also according to Nvidia, the plugin can run with games based on DirectX 11, which I believe is what ARMA 3 uses.

 

I am hoping this sounds like a feature request that would not only benefit ARMA 3 performance but may also be included in the Enfusion engine too for future releases.

 

The caveats so far is that this plugin only works with Nvidia gpus at the moment, but this appears to be due to the tech just releasing and can be expanded to non-Nvidia gpus due to its open-source nature.

Thank you.

Ah I see there's a "Feature" selection in the Severity category. I'll repost this topic today.

 

I was thinking that site was only for bugs but thank you for pointing it out!

Providing an update and possible closure on this topic. I posted the feature request to BI's tracker and was kindly provided the following feedback: "The majority of Arma's performance issues are not rendering related. Lowering resolution very rarely has any impact.
We thought about FSR/DLSS and found it to not be worth the effort.".

 

Im not sure if implentation could still be possible through modding as it may be outside that scope & licensing, but I do not believe the Streamline tech would be officially implemented at this point by BI for Arma 3. Fingers still crossed for Enfusion though.

Thank you.
