Could you build this?

No Porting NVIDIA's proprietary DLSS neural network onto PS5 hardware via Vulkan compute demands elite low-level GPU programming and reverse engineering expertise.

What it would actually take: Requires C++, Vulkan Compute API, SPIR-V shaders, and disassembling Windows PE DLLs to extract proprietary neural network architecture and weight formats. The hard part is reverse engineering NVIDIA's proprietary tensor layouts and hand-crafting highly optimized compute shaders that run efficiently on PS5's AMD RDNA2 GPU architecture.
