Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
According to a company called Apex Compute, there is a new player in neural rendering. The company has developed Apex Neural Rendering, which reportedly offers higher quality and performance than NVIDIA's DLSS implementations. It includes three key components: frame generation (ANR FG), super resolution upscaling (ANR SR), and ray reconstruction denoising for ray tracing (ANR RR). Running frame generation on NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 5090 at 4K, the ANR FG achieves a latency of 1.01 ms per generated frame at a 2x setting, while NVIDIA's DLSS Frame Generation records 1.26 ms. We are not sure which version of DLSS FG was tested, but we can assume it was the latest version.
