Amd radeon vii supports directml an alternative to nvidia dlss?

In a recent interview with 4 Gamers (Japanese Site), AMD's Adam Kozak confirmed that the upcoming Radeon VII graphics card would support DirectML, a Machine Learning (ML) extension for DirectX.

AMD Confirms Radeon VII Supports DirectML

DirectML is like the equivalent of DXR Machine Learning (DirectX Raytracing), allowing DirectX 12 to support advanced features and use AI to enhance future games.

Nvidia's recent DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology that is implemented in RTX graphics cards make use of the same AI function, which uses a 'Deep Learning' algorithm to improve game performance while offering a final image that can provide image quality superior to TAA (Temporal Anti Aliasing). In the past, Microsoft has shown DirectML accomplishing similar feats, which means there may soon be an alternative to what DLSS is doing right now.

DirectML is compatible with all hardware that supports DirectX 12, just like DXR, and just like DXR you can also take advantage of the hardware acceleration capabilities of modern graphics architectures. This will allow developers to access hardware features like Nvidia's Tensor cores, just as DXR allows developers to use Turing's RT cores. For DirectML, AMD's Radeon VII performance could be used to deliver a "DLSS-like" effect, but using an approach that works on Radeon hardware.

Adam Kozak said "Radeon VII shows excellent results" when the company experimented with this technology.

Microsoft did a demo of DirectML in the past

A while ago, Microsoft had shared some results using ' ML', demonstrating what this technology can achieve in image scaling.
