Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
DLSS 3.0 appears to be exclusive to 4000-series (and future, presumably) cards. The only mention of Turing and Ampere in the new DLSS page on their site is:

quote:

Meanwhile, gamers on all GeForce RTX graphics cards can continue to enjoy NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, which massively boosts performance in 216 games and apps by using AI to output higher resolution frames from a lower resolution input.

I don't see companies bothering with both DLSS 2.0 and 3.0 profiles.

For someone who hasn't kept up with graphics cards in ages, does Nvidia typically announce the lower tier cards (xx50/60/70) at a later date? I get that they would release later than the flagships, but I'm surprised that they didn't even merit a mention today

the RTX 3060 [non-Ti] was launched on Jan 12, 2021, some months after the RTX 3080, which launched on Sep 1, 2020

i would assume DLSS 3.0 integration is a superset of 2.0 (they'll still be doing the TAAU upscale in addition to frame interpolation) so 3.0 integrations should be able to gracefully fall back to 2.0

That's a fair point. Kinda like how if you're watching media with a dolby vision profile on a display without dv support, it can roll back to the HDR10 profile. I hadn't really considered that. I was thinking that 3.0 support would look for X hardware and since Ampere and older won't have it, it wouldn't even show up as an option.

i'll check the SDK when they release it, the sensible thing would be for the DLSS3 runtime to work on turing/ampere just without the new interpolation feature but we'll see

For real, I don't know why dude cares so much that I am not in favor of this news. Why single me out anyway Cygni, you're spoiled for choice at people surprised by the overall announcement.

Rumors had the 4080 MSRP at $699-850 as recently as six days ago, I guess that was purely wishful thinking. To me the segmentation of the two 4080s reads more like 10GB 3080 vs 16GB 3090 from previous generation, with the top end 24GB card being more analogous to the 3090 TI.

Yes, I know I'm old, get off my fucking lawn so I can yell at these clouds.

So what's the smart upgrade look like these days for someone still using a 1070?

I've got a 1440p monitor that I'd like to use with a new card. Before crypto poo poo everything up I'd been targeting a 3070, but was never willing to pay scalper prices.

edit: budget sub-$400, ideally, $450 if it's the difference between garbage and something good. I'm just not going to spend anything like what the 80 and 90 cards cost.

i'm in literally the same situation, and i'm still not sure how much they'll actually end up selling. the glut of ampere cards is gonna be nuts combined with the energy crisis in europe

I'm catching up on this poo poo. I guess I'll be waiting until Summer 2023 at least. Because like I'm going to let NVidia gently caress me in the rear end with another memory bump down the line, like with the 3080 10GB.

Also, there's nothing special on the schedule. Starfield maybe, but I'm expecting this to be delayed another time, beyond "first half" of 2023.

Big memory buses are really expensive, they are hard to design and use a ton of silicon space. GPU makers will do everything they can to avoid putting bigger buses on GPUs, like using GDDR6X which is also expensive and power hungry.

Total memory bandwidth is basically bus size * memory clock speed, so if you use faster memory you can use a smaller bus. You'll see that in every single GPU generation, usually price goes down significantly as you get to the smaller buses, whether they're 160b, 128b, or whatever size.

GPU makers are always looking for a way to get away with a smaller bus. Nvidia started using some type of compression with the 9xx generation, and AMD is now doing "Infinity Cache" which is basically a gigantic cache that means you don't have to go to memory as often.

The last huge bus GPU that I remember was the 512-bit R9 290/290X, which was a monster that lasted a really long time and performed well for ages.

Calm down ffs. Existing 30 series and even below are well prepared to handle current titles, pushed to the capability of current display tech. You're probably a whale or high level enthusiast if you are eying high refresh 4k anyway and who cares if you drop a couple grand on your hobby? What if you were into restoring cars or some poo poo? Not to mention those earning money back through streaming and such.

You're not obligated to buy. There are plenty of options out there for every budget

The price of meat has just gone up, and your old lady has just gone down

I'm trying to chill tf out here and think. Ok:

3080 10GB had 82% as many CUDA cores as the 3090 16GB.

4080 12GB has 78% as many CUDA cores as the 4080 16GB.

I think what's going on here is they're rejiggering the product tiers somewhat, although in doing so I feel they're being kinda miserly with VRAM.

There was not an analogous "holy poo poo that's a fuckload more cores" product as the 4090, where the product below it has only 59% as many CUDA cores. The only step above the 3080 10GB at Ampere's launch was the 3090 and it had 18% more, not 41% more. That's a lot closer to the difference between the two 4080s. While $900 is fifty bucks higher than the high estimates in rumors, that's less egregious than my initial reaction - 3090 launch MSRP was $1500, so getting that analogous product (that is, the 4080 16GB) is actually lower MSRP than before. Though, you'd think there would be a VRAM upgrade generation to generation. And the MSRP for the big daddy, while high, at least comes along with a likely very large increase in processing power with that massive CUDA count.

some clarity on what RTX Remix actually is - it's a fork of DXVK which intercepts DX8 and DX9 calls, and redirects them to a fancy modern renderer, with hooks to let you replace assets, add lights, etc

so only old games need apply but it should be widely applicable

authoring a remix requires an RTX GPU, but a packaged remix mod should work on any card that supports vulkan raytracing
