What have Nvidia got to lose from opening up their DLSS API and tools to everyone? Couldn't it be used with injectors like ReShade (or at least potentially so)?

No, unless ReShade is a lot fancier than I am thinking. DLSS is not just a post-processing step; the game engine needs to implement viewport jitter like TAA, and then pass that to the DLSS unit along with motion vectors and depth information, and the texturing, mipmapping and actual post-processing all need to be configured properly (differently from a traditional upscaler or AA solution).

If the game already does TAA, then DLSS is not that hard to add, but it still requires hooks into the engine. If the game doesn't do TAA there's probably little chance of DLSS ever showing up for it.

Nvidia doesn't support using DLSS just for anti-aliasing, their stance is that Quality mode (2x upscaling) is already good enough that there's no point throwing more samples at it

Based on their technical presentation (yeah yeah), they are correct. DLSS with 2x upscaling -- which is equivalent to 1440p -> 4k or 1080p -> 1440p -- is visually indistinguishable from the target resolution rendered natively, and it gets free extremely good antialiasing to boot.

compare 1080p 32x SSAA vs. DLSS scaled from 540p to 1080p (which is actually their 4x performance mode, not 2x) and see if you can tell the difference

Has anyone seen a measurable performance difference when overclocked with the 2x8pin cards like the TUF versus 3x8pin like the Strix? I know you can easily hit the 375w theoretical draw really easily, but I don't know how much you get for the extra power limit.

I recall one of the techtubers saying the mondo-power cards were for the extreme overclockers who will disable any sort of power limit, in hardware if need be.

Oh by the way, I "got" my "RTX 3080" to "fit" in my "case" with "gravity" and "a clothespin":



This thing is pulling like 100 fuckin' watts more than my 2080 and crashing the PC. Guess I gotta try undervolting. I thought maybe it was the twinaxial riser I'm using, but setting it to PCIE 2.0 didn't help.

A couple of websites got 3080 inventory in the past 4-5 hours out here in North America, when I actually happened to be at my desk even. No matter how quickly I responded to the Discord alerts the websites were already crashed or timing out.

Not that I expected to get one, but I just wanted to witness the "in stock" or "available" tags on my screen before moving on.

I have the 3080 FE on a water block maxed out at 370w. If I could increase it to 450w like a Strix, it should stabilize at above 2000Mhz core.

This thing draws so much power that if you run anything that's also memory intensive, the memory power draw will limit the amount of power going to the chip, reducing the effective core frequency. On my card, it can do 2100Mhz with memory-low games like Crusader Kings 3 or hover around 1900-1950 in heavy benchmarks like Port Royale.

Is that extra 5% core speed worth it for an extra $150 and 80w? meh.

edit: Testing it more, I think it's not memory but core utilization. 370w is just not enough power for all the cores to run calculations at 2000Mhz at 975mV (insert your silicon lottery voltage here)

I've been unable to find a good benchmark comparison between cards and am also interested in this. I've found a couple reviews that show a couple AIB cards together but none that show multiple overclocking results.

The 3 pin let's you run the 450-500w bios but you also need it to be under water to make use of the power headroom as it will just drop clocks once the core goes over 50c

It's just a large cache. It's associative. Behaves roughly like any other cache, etc.. The only impressive thing about it is the low floorspace footprint and power consumption, but that's probably more tsmc's doing than anyone else's.

Ehh, nope. I went into the preferences and hit "Unlock Voltage Control: third party" and CTRL-F brings up the voltage curve, but clicking the curve does nothing. The voltage slider is still grayed out too, even after a reboot.

EVGA Precision X1 didn't worth either. Hope they didn't lock voltage in the GPU BIOS but I wouldn't put it past Dell.

Also comical, 2070 Supers are listing at higher prices than when I bought one in May, and are higher than 3070 prices. And appear to be only marginally more in stock.

For me (3090) it's $2900 (for TUF) versus $3100-3300 (for FTW3 or Strix) in dollarydoos. When you add up the system cost alongside the watercooling a 5%+ gain in final GPU-limited performance would actually be pretty ok-ish. I'm also big on overclocking even for average gains, I got a binned 5.1 9900k when that was the hottness and 4000c17 32GB ram.

It'll be under water with two triple rads and a single, I don't expect core temps to break 45c

Sounds like it might be worth it, but probably a wash between the FTW3 and Strix for the $200.

You can force it via DSR. Say if you have a 1440p display, enable a DSR x2.25, set the game to that with DLSS, and presto.

21:9 is better than 4K imo. But if you don’t want that then 1440p is definitely all that is needed.
