Could you build this?

No NVIDIA DLSS is proprietary deep-learning super sampling hardware/software for RTX GPUs; implementing neural upscaling and frame generation on Apple Silicon requires proprietary ML models and deep Metal/CoreML graphics pipeline expertise.

What it would actually take: Building real-time neural upscaling on Apple Silicon requires training spatial-temporal recurrent neural networks on high-resolution motion vectors, depth buffers, and jittered color frames, then compiling them to execute under 5-10ms via Metal Performance Shaders (MPS) or Apple Neural Engine (ANE). In addition, intercepting third-party game render pipelines or video feeds on macOS requires low-level Metal hooking or private CoreGraphics capture APIs. This requires world-class computer vision and real-time graphics rendering engineering.
