DLSS3 is still a curio to me. Nvidia are saying the new Tensor Cores allow DLSS3 and the Optical Frame AI thingymajig so the 3xxx series will never have DLSS3 as they dont have the hardware. Is this actually true or Nvidia spin. Without DLSS3 how attractive would the 4xxx actual be ?
Nvidia said you can only use GSync with Gsync monitors due to the hardware module. Few years later "Gsync compatible" monitors were available without the hardware. Same way that FSR2.0 was hacked onto DLSS option to allow FSR2.0 (kind of) to be used in non FSR2.0 titles.
With the community if there is a will there is a way so just hypothetically if DLSS3 could be used on 3xxx series whether by someone "hacking" the dll's or something similiar how attractive would the 4xxx be then if the 3xxx could do DLSS3 or something close to DLSS3.
Presuming you are referring to the frame generation aspect of dlss 3? If so, apparently it can run on ampere, however, the reason nvidia aren't bringing it is because people will complain about poor IQ and it being laggy, which is fair enough if true.... It should be provided as an option though. DF were asked that same question and they said it could also run on ampere but it would require a lot of time and effort to get it running well i.e. see how long it took to get good results on dlss 1, fsr etc.
Essentially it's another thing where nvidia are first, supposedly they have been working on it for the past 6-7 years, even longer than "DLSS" so I suspect much like gsync, dlss and RT, nvidia will have the market to themselves for a couple of years again, having said that, DF very strongly hinted that intel are going to be getting something out to compete ASAP too, amd we'll probably be waiting a bit longer on but eventually they'll have something as well.
But yes, hopefully modders will be able to get it working on ampere but I suspect it won't be a good experience, similar to how the FSR hack into dlss wasn't great i.e. severe ghosting (which they can't fix)
