    NoGraphicsAPI

    1.6Ksebbbi/NoGraphicsAPI · C++

    NoGraphicsAPI is an experimental Vulkan 1.4 implementation of Sebastian Aaltonen's 'No Graphics API' idea, exploring what disappears from a conventional graphics API when shaders use raw 64-bit GPU pointers instead of buffer objects and bindings.

  9. 12

    crosstl

    1.1KCrossGL/crosstl · Python

    CrossTL is a shader and compute program translator built around CrossGL, an intermediate representation (IR) language that bridges graphics APIs, GPU-compute platforms, and systems-language targets.

    DLSS5-Feeder

    1.1Kjlrouzies-fr/DLSS5-Feeder · C++

    DLSS5-Feeder lets NVIDIA's DLSS 5 neural-rendering add-on work in games that ship with no native DLSS support at all, across D3D11, D3D12, Vulkan, OpenGL, 32-bit builds and even DirectX 9/10 titles. It builds a synthetic DLSS DLAA request out of ReShade's depth buffer and estimated motion vectors, runs a genuine DLSS evaluate, lets the neural add-on hook into it, and copies the result back into the frame.

    MAKO

    616eugeniosegala/MAKO · C++

    MAKO is a Vulkan-powered graphics layer for Linux gaming that brings Lossless Scaling-style frame generation, LS1 spatial scaling, and an open MAKO Scaler to Steam Deck, Steam Machine, and desktop Linux. It is the continuation of the Decky LSFG-VK Experimental and LSFG-VK Experimental projects.
