Nvidia’s Requiring Big Change for RTX 5000!

[SpellowHouse]

All 5000 series will require the new melting 16 pin connectors

With liquid metal connectors that are already melted so they can't get any worse..

Yes, I have big hopes & MS is coming out with DirectSR. That will do upscalling with Windows, so all GPUs will be able to do that.If mafia Nvidia doesn't stop it, but it is MS not some small company doing DirectSR.

What's DirectSR?

What's DirectSR?

Fake resolution (upscaling if you're being polite about it) as part of DirectX. So no need for DLSS (nvidia), FSR (AMD) or XeSS (Intel). Making it part of the OS rather than from the GPU manufacturer. No details yet. No date. No idea how it will differ from the current setup (e.g. it might just be all 3 systems packaged together, not actually different to the current situation other than wasting a bit more disc space).

EDIT: I was wrong. It's not upscaling itself. It's a middleman for the existing 3 upscaling methods. Should make it easier to add support for all of them to a game. Game supports DirectSR, DirectSR supports DLSS, FSR and XeSS. Which explains why all 3 GPU manufacturers are onboard with it.

Yup it's not microsofts own solution, it's to allow all upscaling tech to be integrated, which is great news for games, means people can use what will be best for their hardware:

DirectSR is an API that will allow a single code path to activate NVIDIA DLSS, AMD FSR and Intel XeSS

DirectSR will be just an API and by using it, game developers will be able to implement DLSS/FSR/XeSS.

A lot like what nvidia were trying to seek to resolve with their streamline solution but amd didn't want to support this open source solution:

Microsoft have been working with amd and nvidia on directsr and it's not another upscaling solution by them, instead if it is an api that will be embedded to allow all upscaling solutions like xess, dlss and fsr to be integrated into games.

Ryzen 9000 Supports It ALL!

Ryzen 9000 actually does it right, everyone's getting a performance boost, GPUs are cracking under their own weight and Nvidia CPU in a PC! Stay tuned...****...

2 weeks ago video and microsoft had their reveal couple days ago? I don't doubt we may see a microsoft version at some point but it won't end the "war" between dlss and fsr with what directSR is doing in the above link.

So it's just an addition to the DirectX library? Sounds good in theory.

Dell leaks the upcoming Blackwell data centre GPUs are coming in 2025. Dell also mentions that Blackwell B200 can reach 1000watt power draw compared to the current 700w of H100 SXM

Dell goes on to say it intends to cool B200 processors without liquid cooling and looks forward to the engineering challenge of cooling 1000 watts without liquidn

Dell confirms NVIDIA B200 "Blackwell" accelerator is coming in 2025, hints at 1000W GPUs - VideoCardz.com

NVIDIA B200 Tensor Core GPU coming next year, might need 1000W of power Dell executives might have revealed NVIDIA plans for 2025. NVIDIA’s roadmap from the previous year didn’t make any mention of the B200 accelerator. It’s worth noting that there is a distinction between B200 and GB200. The...
