So surely someone playing on their pc with American flags instead of pride flags isn’t going to hurt even the most delicate snowflake?

Oh so they came to their senses because of the backlash over their pathetic banning of this mod? That’s something at least, but they won’t be getting any praise from me until they stop banning things like this in the first place.

I said it’s essentially emulation, which it is. Its like WINE, which is also essentially emulation but isn’t emulation.

Nvidia can say what they want, but reviewers didn’t follow those.

Sounds like you need to find better GPU review sites.

Linking to an 81 page document isn’t helpful. What specifically in there are you referring to?

No it doesn’t. It allows you to run a game at a higher resolution for no reason at all

Other than the reasons like I said - running it at higher settings while maintaining a playable framerate. The point is you don’t have to lower settings as much with DLSS.

You fundamentally don’t understand what it is and what it allows you to do.

Way to miss the point. The point is that mods as trivial as the ones I said in single player games were banned because the owner didn’t like them, while the owner allowed the mods like you mentioned.

But nvidia got dragged across the coals for using frame-gen in their performance benchmarks too. Did you miss that?

Also ATI wasn't owned by AMD then.....AMD aquired ATI in 2006. Your link is from 2001.

Also no one should be listening to official GPU manufacturer benchmark results. No one. Review companies do their own benchmarking, and you do know that you can turn off DLSS and DLSS Frame-Gen, don't you? I haven't seen any reviewers only compare DLSS+Frame-Gen on an nvidia card to native-with-no-frame-gen on AMD cards. You must have, so can you link to any?

Second cuda is not hardware dependend

That's essentially an emulation layer. Nvidia make DLSS specifically for their GPUs, which have CUDA cores on them. It's the reason why DLSS doesn't work on their pre-CUDA core hardware.

Could they make DLSS work on AMDs hardware? Sure, they could - but it would not be DLSS as we know it, and again - why would they? They are allowed to make stuff exclusively for their hardware.

I 100% know what DLSS is, though by the sounds of it you don't. It is "AI" as much as any other thing is "AI". It uses models to "learn" what it needs to reconstruct and how to reconstruct it.

What do you think DLSS is?

You render a scene a dozen times once, then it regurgitates those renders from memory again if they are shown before ejected from cache on the card. It doesn’t upsample, it does intelligently render anything new, and there is no additive anything. It seems you think it’s magic, but it’s just fast sorting memory tricks.

This is blatantly and monumentally wrong lol. You think it's literally rendering a dozen frames and then just picking the best one to show you out of them? Wow. Just wow lol.

It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.

That's not what I claimed though. Where did I claim that?

What it does is allow you to run a game at higher settings than you could usually at a given framerate, with little to no loss of image quality. Where you could previously only run a game at 20fps at 1080p Ultra settings, you can now run it at 30fps at "1080p" Ultra, whereas to hit 30fps otherwise you might have to drop everything to Low settings.

Go read up.

Ditto.

I'm just saying, I bet they couldn't wait to implement this. They'll likely roll it out worldwide soon enough even when not forced to.

The best example are the ones that replace "Type 1 / Type 2" with "Male / Female" in games where you create a character. Banned. Another is the one that simply replaced all the pride flags with american flags in Spider-Man. Banned.

I guess you haven’t been paying attention to them nuking and banning mods that they don’t like ideologically then?

No, I don’t remember that. What are you talking about?

Why would Nvidia make DLSS work on other brands hardware? It’s hardware dependant btw - it needs their cuda cores.

I went from a 2080 Super to the RX 9070 XT and it flies.

You went from a 7 year old GPU to a brand new top of the line one, what did you expect? That's not a fair comparison lol. Got nothing to do with FSR4 vs DLSS4.

AMD is at least running the smart game on their hardware releases with generational leaps instead of just jacking up power requirements and clock speeds as Nvidia does.

AMD could only do that because they were so far behind. GPU manufacturers, at least nvidia, are approaching the limits of what they can do with current fabrication technology other than simply throwing "more" at it. Without a breakthrough in tech all they can really do is jack up power requirements and clock speeds. AMD will be there soon too.

Nexus mods love censorship and control, so this makes sense. Pretty easy to understand.

Nexus mods love censorship, so this makes sense. New VC owners coming in hot with getting it ready to sell off to the biggest corporate company.

What exactly am I supposed to be looking at here? Do you think that says that the GPUs need their own PSUs? Do you think people with 50 series GPUs have 2 PSUs in their computers?

It’s not innovative, interesting, or improving performance, it’s a marketing scam. Games would be run better and more efficiently if you just lower the requirements.

DLSS isn't innovative? It's not improving performance? What on earth? Rendering a frame at a lower resolution and then using AI to upscale it to look the same or better than rendering it at full resolution isn't innovative?! Getting an extra 30fps vs native resolution isn't improving performance?! How isn't it?

You can't just "lower the requirements" lol. What you're suggesting is make the game worse so people with worse hardware can play at max settings lol. That is absolutely absurd.

Let me ask you this - do you think that every new game should still be being made for the PS2? PS3? Why or why not?

You didn't actually answer it though. Are you arguing in bad faith?

The obscene concentration of wealth is bad for the stability of the country.

How?

The existence of billionaires is a policy failure.

How?

And there’s no world where they exist without them being able to influence politicians

There is though - the world where politicians aren't corrupt.

If all of the issues with billionaires come down to politicians being corrupt then the problem isn't billionaires, it's corrupt politicians like I said. Billionaires aren't the only ones that can bribe/influence corrupt politicians.

Calling DLSS "anti consumer" is one of the dumbest things I've read about PC gaming in a long time.
