I feel so much better now having snagged a 4080 in November.

the rumors about the switch 2 having an 8" screen are interesting - that makes it likely bigger than the steam deck. quaint to think back to the Wii U which I remember thinking was huge at the time but ultimately had a 6.2" screen

It's probably not the case here because we know the N31 memory controller can run fine at 20Gbps, but the rated speed of the memory isn't necessarily what every GPU can run. 4090's use 24Gbps GDDR6X that is clocked by default at 22.4Gbps, and not every card can stably run it at 24Gbps. They definitely didn't limit the overclocking by mistake though, they're just having to unlock it now that they have to compete with the 4070 Super.

Anime Schoolgirl posted:AMD is implying/admitting that it's artificially limited through drivers We knew that already, the cap is just a value they set per GPU for maximum adjustment of memory/core clocks. It's weird they're trying to frame this as a bug when they do this for literally all their GPUs, this one is just particularly low. They could've just said "we are raising our limits so that our overclocking community can extract the most out of this GPU!" or something.

It's obviously not a bug, it's a deliberate limitation they created for the Chinese market and when they brought it to the US/EU they either forgot about the limits or (more likely, and more stupidly) didn't expect reviewers to notice and complain the bug is us

https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-innovation-on-display-at-gdc-2024/quote:This API enables multi-vendor SR through a common set of inputs and outputs, allowing a single code path to activate a variety of solutions including NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution, AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution, and Intel XeSS. As I suspected, DirectSR is an API for utilizing multiple super resolution (upscaling) technologies and not a new SR implementation itself.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:https://devblogs.microsoft.com/directx/directx-innovation-on-display-at-gdc-2024/ So I guess this means that none of the vendors anticipate some breakthrough that improves results but requires a new bit of input? I guess in that case a game could add an additional path for IntelSuperMagicLLMScaling or use some extension mechanism. Does this cover frame generation approaches too, or is DirectFG coming next? E: nope, sounds like just SR here Subjunctive fucked around with this message at 13:14 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Based on the name, I'd assume it's just upscaling. And I also assume that Microsoft can update it if and when necessary, though DX updates have been awfully slow since DX12.

It's also great for getting more mileage out of older or lower-stack cards. Even with just a 2080 - which I assume has an earlier, shittier implementation much like the RTX on offer - I'm getting a fair bit of improvement off not that much dropped quality.

Performance gains aside, DLSS is good anti-aliasing. It's better than the standard methods of AA IMO. I have a 4090 and I put DLSS quality on wherever I can unless there's a lot of weird glitches.

I have a 4090 and I put DLSS quality on wherever I can unless there's a lot of weird glitches. Yeah, quality is basically free performance and AA from what I can tell. Disclaimer that I'm an old man with old man eyes who games at 1440p, so for all I know I'm the computer version of a dude taking a swig of Boon's Farm and telling a sommelier that it tastes fine, actually. Even with a 2080 I don't bother with the performance end of the DLSS spectrum. poo poo can get really muddy down there and frankly at that point it's time to just dial back the detail globally and accept that your old card can't play things on maxed settings any more.

Note that I didn't buy it new, I'm the resident cheapskate who's constantly haunting ebay looking for last year's flagship as this year's upgrade. I've got a Dell OEM one that I snagged for $200 about a year and a half back and it's doing well enough for 1440 that more than once I've skipped bidding on a 3080 because, gently caress it, this card is still doing surprisingly well with new titles and 3080 prices haven't quite dropped low enough to be impulse buy territory.

I play usually with balanced or performance DLSS. Only ultra perf looks too bad with a 4K 42” olds for my eyes. Quality cuts down the fps too much.

I use DLSS for VR, but even on quality, there is most definitely a graphics quality penalty, mostly on text or displays that are close to your face. That said, it’s a penalty absolutely worth paying, since it gives you a massive performance improvement at the same time. Gaming on a flat panel is native resolution or GTFO. DLSS looks like poo poo at 1440, though I don’t have a 4K display to test it on.

HalloKitty posted:It was. It was the generation to avoid when looking at msrp 2080 had the same performance as a 1080 Ti at the same price, plus the added future promise of DLSS and RT, and lower power draw as a bonus. that wasn’t a super enticing package for 1080/1080 Ti owners. if you were upgrading from a 10 series card it didn’t make much sense at the time (upgrading every generation rarely makes much sense) but Nvidia delivering on DLSS has absolutely made the 2080 a more attractive long term buy than most people thought at the time.

Little PSA I guess: Earlier this year I upgraded my aging computer to an AMD motherboard which happened to have on board video, that didn't get used in favour of the preexisting 4070 in the system. Ever since the upgrade Steam itself as well as Baldur's Gate 3 were both extremely slow to launch. Sometimes just sitting there for 30+ seconds doing nothing before starting up. I found a steam discussion thread of people with similar AMD systems having the same problem, some saying they fixed it by disabling the onboard video in device manager, though that didn't work for me. I finally just thought to install the AMD video drivers this morning and lo and behold - problem solved. How strange. I see people toward the end of the thread were also reporting the January AMD driver release fixing the issue for them too.

Not Worth it 2. Quality loss is made up for with what I can enable with my extra FPS budget 3. I hardly even notice DLSS so its free frames Most games honestly fall somewhere in the 2-3 range, only a few games made me actually think DLSS was a waste. You do have a take a minute to try out the quality/balanced/performance, usually performance is pretty noticeable.

Yeah RT Reconstruction helps a lot with using Performance and RT together. And yeah, DLSS Quality is usually sharper and resolves better than TAA, and gets rid of the awful TAA ghosting. DLAA Native is just pristine and beautiful, but really expensive.

It's been a cold winter in the greater Seattle area and my two cats have seemingly permanently attached themselves to the exhaust fans on either side of the case. The 4090 is a surprisingly effective space heater. Sometimes if I'm running errands or something I'll just load CP2077 with path tracing and dip out. Arrive back home with both of them on their backs splayed out. haha Everything the light touches is his kingdom (which is currently a lot cuz its the middle of the day):

If your stick to Balanced or Quality, I’d say it looks better than native 1440p on a 1440p monitor, assuming the 4K monitor is a good one. It’s just more pixels. Peak 4K is on a 27” panel, the PPI is just delightful.

The game would try to launch then just exit with no errors. After installing the drivers now it works with no problem
