4A Games update Metro Exodus, new engine, Ray Tracing GPU now required
- Thread starter Grim5
- Start date
In this case its specifically made for Unreal Engine, its a Plugin.
It is very easy to install and turn on, but that's not necessarily the end of it, even if 'in theory' it should be.
Thanks for kindly explaining as I was a little worried that the way I worded it might trigger some people.

Nah you will never trigger anyone on this forum! 
A huge part of game development is building an illusion (for instance https://youtu.be/NbpZCSf4_Yk?t=1429 ) and often you have to get very creative at engine level with features to implement effects, etc. that aren't supported by default by the rendering API, drivers and hardware often with each developer having a little different idea of how to provide a solution - which makes it very difficult for something like DLSS to just be plug and play over a wide range of engines. But when someone builds on top of Unreal Engine their product is much more likely to conform to the standards of the engine so a plugin for that engine should work with most products especially any that simply use standard features of that engine.
It is just click and install, done (for unreal engine). However like all good tools, it has configurable options that the developer can play with if they wish - but certainly if you are lazy or time constrained you can have DLSS in your unreal game in 5 minutes, done.
The terrain hight map i made myself in World Machine, its textures are generic mundane stuff, the foliage is stuff i bought from the Unreal Engine Market Place, its content for Unreal Engine, no trouble at all but there really isn't anything there.
No RTX is enabled.
I do have foliage and other assets that i made myself and those have and some still are giving me a migraine with DLSS...... "oh i just downloaded it for this fully completed project and 'it just worked'" no, no it didn't.
1440P when when Youtube is doneencoding butchering it.

Why do you think they can't have the same information? You don't need "tensor cores" to do the same work, it's just gonna be a bit slower, RDNA 2 has the units to do the require math.
None of the information so far suggests they will be using a similar approach to reconstructing missing information. What little has been talked about sounds similar to the kind of "AI" upscaling done on higher end projectors, etc. which is more of a dead reckoning approach.
Right, I don't think FSR will be like DLSS, but I'm saying that in theory they can do the same if they want to (with the hw they've already shipped). Instead they'll just have a universal TAAU to integrate into the various game engines (and for consoles, and mobile) which tbh I've said is what they should do from the start (TAAU + VRS + CAS = good to go). In the end it's simpler & the benefits of DLSS will not be so significant for the 99.9% of people who don't follow this stuff in the first place such that they'll care, so people will be happy regardless as the IQ delivered will still be above the usual checkerboarded solutions they used to get. The truth is the # of pixels you get past 1440p is excessive and that's why the relative differences between these approaches (and indeed native 4K itself) will be forgettable outside of GPU warring on forums.
I'll be happy that we get a standardised and slightly improved solution in the first place, the rest is gravy.

4A Games Clarifies It Didn’t Actually Evaluate AMD Super Resolution Yet and Was Referring to Existing FidelityFX Techniques

Lol. As I suspected. FidelityFX SR would have been on GpuOpen if there was anything to share from AMD. There was no way AMD would have teamed with 4A Games when the studio is a close Nvidia partner.

I see this has just been discretely added (no notification or pictured tile, just text next to the original game) to my Steam library and is available to download. I just wanted to check my understanding regarding the DLCs; has the main game plus both DLCs been completely overhauled with the enhanced ray tracing? I've got in my head that one of the DLCs already had an enhanced RT feature? I recently just finished a second playthrough but have yet to playthrough SAM's Story DLC. Just wondering if playing it on the enhanced version will be different to the original and therefore worth the big download for now...
