@FreedomAdvocate so you didn't read the heise link which showed you that pre release tests had strict rules on how to test including framegen settings ...

@FreedomAdvocate zuda is an reimplementation of an api not a emulation.

Linking to an 81 page document isn’t helpful. What specifically in there are you referring to?

No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all

Other than the reasons like I said - running it at higher settings while maintaining a playable framerate. The point is you don’t have to lower settings as much with DLSS.

You fundamentally don’t understand what it is and what it allows you to do.

I said it’s essentially emulation, which it is. Its like WINE, which is also essentially emulation but isn’t emulation.

Since when did gfx cards need to cost more than a used car?

We are being scammed by nvidia. They are selling stuff that 20 years ago, the equivalent would have been some massive research prototype. And there would be, like, 2 of them in an nvidia bunker somewhere powering deep thought whilst it calculated the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

3k for a gfx card. Man my whole pc cost 500 quid and it runs all my games and pcvr just fine.

Could it run better? Sure

Does it need to? Not for 3 grand...

Fuck me!.....

I plan on getting at least a 4060 and I'm sitting on that for years. I'm on a 2060 right now.

My 2060 alone can run at least 85% of all games in my entire libraries across platforms. But I want at least 95% or 100%

Then why does Nvidia have so much more money?

Like I said...you don't know what DLSS is, or how it works. It's not using "AI", that's just marketing bullshit. Apparently it works on some people

You can find tons of info on this (why I told you to search it up), but it uses rendering tables, inference sorting, and pattern recognition to quickly render scenes with other tricks that video formats have used for ages to render images at a higher resolution cheaply from the point of view of the GPU. You render a scene a dozen times once, then it regurgitates those renders from memory again if they are shown before ejected from cache on the card. It doesn't upsample, it does intelligently render anything new, and there is no additive anything. It seems you think it's magic, but it's just fast sorting memory tricks.

Why you think it makes games better is subjective, but it solely works to run games with the same details at a higher resolution. It doesn't improve rendered scenes whatsoever. It's literally the same thing as lowering your resolution and increasing texture compression (same affect on cached rendered scenes), since you bring it up. The effect on the user being a higher FPS at a higher resolution which you could achieve by just lowering your resolution. It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.

Go read up.

He’s talking about DLSS upscaling - not DLSS Frame Generation - which doesn’t add latency.

After being AMD for years recently went back to nvidia for one reason. nvenc works way better for encoding livestreams and videos than amd

Why not just get a 9060 xt and get that to 99%?(everything but ray tracing black myth wukong)

It does add latency, you need 1-2ms to upscale the frame. However, if you are using a lower render resolution (instead of going up in resolution while rendering internally the same) then the latency will be lower because you have a higher frame rate

@FreedomAdvocate there is a reason why WINE = Wine is not (a) Emulator is used. So don't call a api reimplementation a emulation specially since other api reimplementation have shown to be better than the original implementation from the hardware provider ( example dxvk on amd > the original amd dx implementation ) . But this gets us far from the original topics , my point was if nvidia wanted to have real competition they would have included all those new fance features into official api's like for example DX or Vulkan or any other.

They didn't ... and while not directly against the consumer it is against the consumer end.
So i have brought up another point why i call nvidia anti consumer ... neither you like it or not.

You didn't read up on it huh?

Hilarious.

It actually doesn't do what you said anymore, not since an update in like 2020 or something. It's an AI model now

Yeah, so it doesn’t add latency. It takes like 1-2ms iirc in the pipeline, which like you said is less than/the same/negligibly more than it would take to render at the native resolution.

Why not - no?

I don't even care for the monkey game.
