I guess that settles the DLSS question.

But does it settle the EXPO question?

I guess that settles the DLSS question.

This will end well.

Edit: the copium is already spreading

quadro obviously, dude they barely mention gaming in presentations anyomore. & DLSS is inherently junk because it's post process theres barely scene information there beyond rudimentary motion vectors they have papers admitting it's rudimentary too.

DLSS isn't junk. Why? Because it works. That's all that matters. The result (at 'quality' setting) looks barely worse than native resolution. You really have to know what you're looking for (except in some pathological edge cases where it produces shit). DLSS is nice because it frees up performance in weaker cards to use on higher resolution or stuff like RTX. Do more with fewer pixels? Yes, please.

The future of gaming GPUs isn't more pixels. It's better pixels. Yes, game developers have become exceptionally good at using all sorts of rasterizer hacks and artwork trickery to fake some of the shit that raytracing does and the hacks work reasonably well - but there is only so much you can do with that.

I'm simply not interested yet another GPU generation pushing more pixels. What for? So we can play at 8k resolution with 360 FPS while still looking at the same old pre-baked lights and screen space reflections?

I don't like nVidia. Their pricing policy is atrocious and they're too fucking stingy with the VRAM. I'm still glad that they're at least trying to meaningfully advance real-time graphics for video games and DLSS is a way to make that feasable on GPUs with a lower price points than the absolute high end. For the time being. Maybe a few GPU generations down the road we won't need it anymore.

AMD FSR and FSR 2 work as well. I barely notice a difference, but the card consumes much less power and generates less heat, which is highly appreciated these days, considering the ambient temperature. I initially thought it was just a meme, but it's actually quite useful.

 

[racofer]

FSR1/2 doesn't hold a candle to DLSS, though. Screenshots might show some differences: sometimes barely noticeable, sometimes a bit different in favor of either technology.

However, in motion, there is no comparison. DLSS is leagues ahead of FSR.

Diddnt try DLSS , using only AMD cards since a while, but if its like rocm for image generation which is 10 years behind what nvidia do, i would believe you.

Dear god Infinitron can we please have a thread split for THE FASCINATING FUTURE OF COMPUTERS

 

[Crispy]

Zombra, this discussion is still on-topic enough to not warrant a thread split.

Chill.

 

[Zombra]

Unsubscribe. Somebody tag me if we ever start talking about Starfield.

 

[Alienman]

How about them climbable mountains in Starfield?

 

[The_Mask]

It is highly likely that I, as well, will invest in a more updated machine, as my machine is now almost a decade old, and I, too, want to play Starfield.

The only question I have about this whole title is that... if most things are procedurally generated, then why can't you include stuff like fishing? Didn't Skyrim have an update that added fishing? That's the only part I'm getting suspicious of. The lack of real innovation that would excuse high machine demands.

 

[Mebrilia the Viera Queen]

I am kinda excited for capturing ships. If you can re sell them this could be very lucrative.

piracy is wrong

I wonder if when Chris Roberts heard that Starfield wouldn't have any land vehicles he pumped his fist them pumped his... well, you know.

It will have land vehicles for sure. Modders will do that XD

 

[Non-Edgy Gamer]

It certainly seems like there's the opportunity to add them. DLC probably. And what was that mech suit looking thing I saw in one video?

 

[The_Mask]

Yeah. This game lacks many features that you would think they would be included. As I said... basic interactions with the environment such as fishing. Methods of transportation, such as vehicles.

Although... if you have a proper jetpack, some things can be excused.

 

[MadMaxHellfire]

start talking about Starfield.

why would anyone want that? it sounds like oblivion (in space).

 

[Vic]

this is not a JRPG

 

[Robotigan]

Vehicular and on-foot travel rarely mix well because they're so mechanically distinct. Vehicles are big and fast but difficult to handle, running is slower but more agile and responsive. This means that a space that supports one mode well will tend to serve the other poorly. The jetpack is pretty cool, basically a lore-friendly double jump.

Boarding and seizing pirate ships can however be both a service to the community and profitable too.

 

[Trithne]

Holy fucking shit what. I'm not even planning on buying it, I just saw the price on the steam marquee and had to confirm.

 

[Vic]

Non-Edgy Gamer so are you not going to play Starfield? I’m not following gaming news but I thought everybody would be at least somewhat hyped/curious to play. It’s Bethesda after all.

 

[Yosharian]

Holy fucking shit what. I'm not even planning on buying it, I just saw the price on the steam marquee and had to confirm.

At least it is actually on Steam and is therefore available on other websites for cheaper

Unlike D4 which has to be bought through Blizzard and thus you have to pay full price
