Could you build this?

No Re-implementing NVIDIA DLSS neural rendering networks in raw Vulkan compute shaders with bit-exact precision requires world-class graphics programming and neural network reverse-engineering.

What it would actually take: Requires advanced Vulkan/SPIR-V graphics and compute shader expertise, reverse engineering proprietary neural network weights and tensor layouts from binary blobs, and implementing custom low-level matrix multiplication/convolution kernels matched to GPU hardware float precision quirks.
