Can this denoiser be used to render an image or is just for realtime display?

Hi cadman5,

Currently it is only available for interactive, it is not accessible as an HQ(offline) denoiser option.

Best regards,
Alexander

Thanks Alexander. Will it be at some point possible to render an offline image using this denoiser?. Are there any plans to do this with Vantage?.
There was a lot of noise (no pun intended) about this Nvidia denoiser but if it can´t be use for rendering an image or animation what is the real value of it? To lower the load on graphics card?

This denoiser doesn't work properly with progressive rendering, like what we do for offline rendering. So you won't get a better result by accumulating samples. In fact, it could get worse. You can still capture an image or video from the interactive viewport though, if you find the quality good enough.

The main advantage of DLSS is that it provides better viewport quality and speed for changing content.

Thanks Nikola. So in practice, it allows to easily navigate a vantage scene with a lower specs rtx laptop. Understood.
