DLSS 5 preview

Fr fr, no cap

Still no sign of a public official SDK so I can use it the way I want (i.e. only use neural rendering on certain materials in a scene). Not sure why at this point given the proliferation of reshade examples.

The hate on version 1 was justified, they overdid it and only said "devs have control over how intense it is" etc - Showcasing the worst case example in a first party demo is not the way to show off new tech, though those of us who understand how all this works did state it would be more usable down the line and now it not only looks better but runs better too.

It's ok to simply not like something but a lot of people went way way over the top with the outrage, Several Nvidia engineers closed their twitter accounts due to being threatened with murder, Digital Foundry members got threats of murder because some of them said "I kinda like it"... what DLSS5 highlighted for me was that a lot of people need very lengthy stays at psychiatric hospitals, There are a lot of mentally sick people out there.

Probably because those moaners were gooners who hated that characters looked older not younger.

I'm a gooner and I quite liked that early DLSS5 made everyone look as old as me!

Oh ah, I've got the nice notification that logic has been called to the scene, fine, let it be!

If you just skim the surface of interwebs drama, sure, it might look like "zomg people rage about anything these days" - and it often is true. But in this case you might have missed the fact of how nicely Mr NVIDIA rolled up pricing of anything gaming-related and then pretty much ditched gaming all together. And yes, this isn't a "whuuut?" - read their latest financial report, there's ZERO RTX gaming GPUs mentioned anywhere, not even in Edge Computing anymore. That place now belongs to Spark and as far as shareholders of NVIDIA are concerned, RTX gaming GPU department is done, dead, vanished, doesn't exist. I would say, do not expect new gaming GPUs from NVIDIA this decade, if ever again. But that aside - with all that in mind, general population does NOT want to hear about AI, see AI in games, see FPS cut by half for uncanny look and not be able to afford any GPUs that can actually run this stuff. It's called being "tone-deaf" and the backlash is perfectly understandable with that in mind, IMHO. It will only get worse, I suspect and might as well end up like things went in France recently. On the other hand the actual FG, upscaling, RR etc. tech - that improves quality and performance and has hardly any actual AI in it (more of cleaver engineering, marketing aside) and people don't mind that at all.

Probably because those moaners were gooners who hated that characters looked older not younger.

Right, what did I just say about being "tone-deaf"?
PS. 5080 are going up in price again, near $300 now in Asia and our areas soon to follow, as usual. Other tiers will jump up just after as well, I suspect.

FFS, you deserve a ban for that

I've got a few people added to ignore so thankfully don't see the rambling monologues filled with snide remarks
