    To my knowledge there is no plan to move PostProcessing to Barracuda. Things might change in the future however.

    As far as I know, current mobile NPUs do not have good interoperability with GPU. Moving things back and forth between NPU and GPU would mean additional overhead.

    That said mobile NPUs are rapidly developing and opportunities of using NPU+GPU are discussed with hardware vendors. I believe it will be a big thing in the future! Barracuda will support such use-cases once they become practical.

    DLSS is a proprietary NVIDIA technology, so hard to say about it specifically.
