GoKawiilApex Compute releases open beta frame-gen tool claiming to beat Nvidia DLSS
Startup Apex Compute has launched an open beta of a neural frame generation suite that it says runs faster and with less VRAM than Nvidia DLSS frame generation, while supporting far older hardware including GTX 16-series, RX 5000-series, Intel Arc, Apple M1 chips, and the Steam Deck. The company's internal benchmarks claim 2x frame generation on an RTX 5090 costs 1.01ms per frame versus 1.26ms for DLSS, with VRAM usage cut by about 62%. The tool is distributed via GitHub and the company's website and runs through OptiScaler, with super resolution and ray reconstruction components still in development.
