really getting fed up with the posts stating RTX/DLSS does not work this gen

Death stranding has been updated via. Anew patch today for Ampere so Ampere GPUs can access 8k DLSS graphics option

K1LaW8tt5 · 8 Sep 2020 at 09:02

this is the last-gen DLSS thread.

No thanks

8k native or nothing.

RTX5000 will have you sorted

You any closer to jumping 8K old sport? I am intrigued to hear your thoughts, though I will be staying away from it. I want to stay 4K for the foreseeable future. If I see a 8K monitor, I may not be able to go back to 4K and then my wallet will hate me!

Which gen are you referring to?

How? You was on about DLSS 1.0. You was proven wrong ages ago

I will wait until there are decent 8k monitors.

I don't really want to use a monitor larger than 32"

Having used RTX Titan SLI running 8k offscreen I do know that a single 3090 will not be up to the job so it is probably best to wait for the next gen Hopper cards.

Yeah makes sense.

Exactly why I posted this:

As 1.0 was utter *****. Without the games its a nothingburger.

Why is nobody talking about DirectML or DXR?

Because those are not nvidia branded, therefore must be rubbish.

DLSS 1.0 was awesome, sunshine was right guys... Not!

Funny thing is, how can you be right about such a thing when there was hardly any games that used it in the 2 years? There was a decent list of games announced and in the end hardly any used it. But sunshine somehow thinks he was right

gpuerrilla · 8 Sep 2020 at 17:08

Listen, the tech is great and has a place. I hope it gets adopted by all using the M$ and proper channels rather than proprietary locked in baloney. If any other company pulled this stunt they would not live it down.

Haha. Fair enough

Asked this on another thread and the consensus was 'nobody knows', but I'll check here... is there expected to be any future RTX/DLSS features that are exclusive to Ampere? Or as far as we are aware, Ampere is just Turing but... faster?

So far in terms of ray tracing features there is no exclusivity and I doubt there will be outside of performance constraints - in the long run ray tracing will be implemented via industry standards with DXR and the relevant Vulkan paths. Even running on the shaders very slowly Pascal supports all the same features as Ampere for ray tracing.

Stuff running on the Tensor cores like DLSS is another matter though (I can't really say how that will pan out).

Thanks, much appreciated!

Nvidia priced the 20xx series because they thought RTX would be amazing and everyone would jump on the RTX train. But it wasn't and they didn't

I'm guessing they have ended up with a lot of unsold chips again, so this time had to make it "affordable".

Or they know something about AMD's GPUs which we don't...

Or their CEO didn't want to be a meme again.
