🤔 I don't think I'll save for the 5090. It's power draw is much higher.

5080 seems reasonable.

Pahlavi, the late Shah's son, filed an affidavit B.C. Supreme Court last November, after learning that Masjoody had won a default judgment against him in a defamation action.

[summer cedar]

Ah.

Thanks.

[pine hill]

I wonder how he knew that

[mild gust]

Masjoody was a former PhD student and math instructor at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby B.C., and he was declared a "vexatious litigant" by the B.C. Court of Appeal last year.

He filed several lawsuits that have accused academics, legal figures and journalists of defamation, including Reza Pahlavi, the son of the last Shah of Iran.

[mild gust]

If prosecuted by way of summary conviction, the maximum punishment for the new hate crime offence would be two years less a day.

The Bill would create a new hate crime offence that would apply to the commission of any offence under the Criminal Code or any other Act of Parliament that is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression.

It's just that they coined it CE 3.

Ubisoft did the same too

I just hope they took world partition to

[summer cedar]

I am not sure about Nanite, but they might have merged the world partition tech.

You know, to get rid of the loading screens.

[mild gust]

Because that planet loading was bullcrap

[summer cedar]

Starfield didn't have a geometry, beauty problem.

Most of the issues were yes, the loading screens and people wanting more to do on planets and space.

So yeah, world partition, real-time loading environments, etc. etc.

Man, I'd be chuffed if they included manual landing and take-off.

Or at least with no loading screens. I'd be chuffed indeed.

[mild gust]

Main reason I quit

Was I don't want to sit loading

[summer cedar]

Actually, if they just included manual entry and exit from the planet, I bet modders could just finish the landing and take-off part by themselves.

[mild gust]

I think someone made a mod for that no

[summer cedar]

Kind of, yes. But it was more like removing the loading screen for an automated take-off.

The landing couldn't be done, because the main content wasn't there.

It seems like NVidia just refined that into a stock tech.

[lavish tendon]

it's machine learning lighting i doubt that claim

[mild gust]

It's like nvidia gave it the image and said enhance

[summer cedar]

It's SOME kind of lighting.

I don't mind where it comes from, so long as the result is good.

Also, if it reduces my workload, that's fine too. 😄

Ponkkis, be considerate. The best way to increase FPS is indeed to remove people and leave umbrellas.

[summer cedar]

At least the spellings on the signboards and shop boards are still the same. 😄

[unborn lotus]

that sucks...next step is the input is just blockout meshes and the AI does whatever to them

[summer cedar]

Hehe. 🤣 The fact that even AI thinks Bethesda's mk1 game-screen colour filter is rubbish, is hilarious.

I'd think the same, if these weren't the same people who'd download mods that do exactly the same thing.... pretty much.

ReShade mods ftw.

What'd be great is if NVidia included a config menu for DLSS 5 for gamers, not just devs, so they can alter the lighting to a certain extent.

Then ReShades would basically be redundant.

[lavish tendon]

but they're the same meshes, we just got the best lighting ever

they look weird because we're accustomed to bad real time lights, right?

[summer cedar]

Yeah, but with ReShade mods, you can access the lighting menu in-game.

If you can do that with DLSS 5, that'd be great. Just as an extra feature.

[summer cedar]

In all seriousness, I like both styles in the Assassin Creed examples in this video.

In Starfield, the DLSS version looks better, especially on character faces.

In Oblivion Remastered, I think the original style is just fine. It becomes a matter of personal choice entirely.

That's a different tech, silly. 😛

That's what modders will use with Starfield Creation Engine 3 ™ .

[mild gust]

Well yeah

[summer cedar]

It just intensified the light radius and that just looks.... wrong.

It has lots of particles and words

[summer cedar]

Not sure.

--- Neural Texture Compression (NTC): Uses AI to compress textures, reducing VRAM usage by up to 8x compared to traditional methods while maintaining high visual quality. ---

Remember that article we read two months-ish ago?

NVidia had just posted about NTC back then.

---

https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/dlss

Plugin for UE here.

Goes back to UE 5.4.

Other versions no more.

If I remember the original post by NVidia, this does much more.

Like, much, much more.

I don't know if this released version does the same though.

The real problem is you need Tensor Cores to use NTC.

Without that, you can't unpack the textures, apparently.

[soft night]

food and cake day

[summer cedar]

--- NTC has been validated to run on older RTX 20-series, GTX 10-series, and even non-NVIDIA hardware like AMD Radeon RX 6000 and Intel Arc via fallback integer math. ---

Good news for you, eh? 😄

Not yet. It's just released. But you can make one.

But now, you can SUPAH COMPRESS them and be proud about it on the product page.

I am not sure if it's true, but Gemini says the traditional compression compressed the various textures individually.

NTC is supposed to compress all the PBR elements into just one file.

Okay, based on what Gemini is telling me, the games showcased in the video are the only ones using NTC at this time.

Crimson Desert and Death Stranding 2 MIGHT use the tech, in the future.

It won't make marrying all those sexy chickens easy though.

Fair warning.

Remember to surf the Community/Developer forum there.

There are issues that are already covered by three to four devs with the plugin and UE.

[mild gust]

Noice

I have had to post there before w/ issues

So noted

[summer cedar]

One of the hilarious posts was, "UE said a plugin file was missing for X feature. I asked Gemini and it told me to code it. Then, it helped me write the code. Everything works now. Thanks AI!"

[mild gust]

I somehow doubt that it worked

[summer cedar]

Dude says it did.

Specifies the filename too.

It doesn't seem properly dlssed.

Please do that immediately.

Nah, the new tiktok filter is out

The ultimate filter, I would say.

[lavish tendon]

Apparently DLSS5 does not modify meshes

[plucky berry]

This is, cheffkiss

My entire timeline Is talking about this so I can't use X for like 2 days so here's my two cents: we're accustomed to bad realtime rasterized lights and now we have ground truth AI powered lights. The problem lies in that Nvidia made the profile without consulting the artists that made the game.

[green current]

It's a ugly ass filter and any artist that gets their work overlayed with it is going to hate it

Good morning! 🌞 ☕

[mild gust]

Just in time for some gun science

[summer cedar]

Bonjour!

Stay away from that school, sir! 😛

[mild gust]

But it's so free

and you can use that knowledge in game dev

[summer cedar]

So, is this also purchasable at your neighbourhood's friendly Walmart?

[mild gust]

I'm sure if you got enough $

This would be illegal in Canada for citizens to own

Mags too big

[summer cedar]

But, but, 2nd Amendment, Saar! 😛

[mild gust]

We can only have 3 bullets per mag

or something

My bad 5

Even then

Basically the idea is it's only for hunting

Which is fine

[summer cedar]

Oh. So the USP for this rifle is body armour pen.

[mild gust]

But they are now coming for those guns

So that's fun

[mild gust]

Yeah that ammo is pretty packing

[summer cedar]

Maybe it can take a drone down in one hit, too.

That's be dandy.

[mild gust]

Oh yeah

I bet easily

It made pretty nasty work of bullet proof glass

Pierced an armoured truck to

[summer cedar]

That shrapnel damage is scary though.

[mild gust]

Gotta love a Sig weapon

[summer cedar]

When he shoots the paint bucket or whatever that is, there is a piece of the bullet that keeps going and hits the hedge behind it.

And at a greater height than the original target, too.

It's easy to imagine how all those civilians are getting killed in these wars.

--- After playing a shameful 1,000+ hours of Starfield over the past couple of years, I can say that I've gotten my money's worth. ---

This dude played the game more than I ever did. 😄

[mild gust]

Lol

Just train an AI to play the game

[summer cedar]

Another Starfield image with DLSS 5.

Apparently, God Todd LOVES it.

Somehow, in this image, the face of the guy on the left feels a bit weird to me.

The eyes.... maybe it's just me. They feel off.

[pearl elk]

Makes you wonder what it could do a frame that looks like complete ass

[summer cedar]

It'll make it less ass..... LASS!

Oooh, Lassy can make a comeback.

[mild gust]

Lol

[summer cedar]

--- Howard had this to say about how DLSS 5 looks in Bethesda's latest game, Xbox's Starfield: "When they showed us DLSS 5 and we got it running in Starfield, it was amazing how it brought [it] to life. We've played it; we can't wait for all of you to do so as well." ---

Confirmed.

Starfield Creation Engine 3 - 'enhanced' by DLSS 5.

[pearl elk]

DLASS

Downloadable ass

[summer cedar]

Ban the roo 😛

--- Notably, according to Digital Foundry, NVIDIA says the system doesn't touch the game's actual assets like textures and models whatsoever, which I find pretty wild considering how different they look with it on. It goes to show just how much of a difference lighting can make — for better or for worse. So far, we're seeing both with DLSS 5. ---

SO, the meshes and textures are untouched.

It's post-process layering, I guess.

[pearl elk]

Instglam feature for games

[summer cedar]

This actually makes modding a bit difficult, though.

You have to test the mod extensively to see how DLSS 5 mods it by itself. 😄

[pearl elk]

Unless Nvida open source it its all bleh

[summer cedar]

They say devs will be able to tweak the tech for their games.

So, I suppose we can tone the modifications down if we so desire.

....and if we have the skill.

[pearl elk]

It wouldnt be fair to design a game around nvidia hardware

[summer cedar]

Oh. So, Elder Scrolls will also use DLSS 5 going forward.

All Beth titles.

[pearl elk]

Unless you make it specific to nvidia youre just accepting everyone else will get an inferior game for the same price theyre paying you

[mild gust]

Design all games around steam deck

Scale up from there

[summer cedar]

This kind of subtle change, I do appreciate.

If we can control the layering, this would be pretty cool for designing.

[mild gust]

Make it part of RTX Remix

[pearl elk]

Yeah but stills are meaingless when youre talking real-time

No one plays a game with a magnifying glass and a pause button

[mild gust]

Make it so we can turn all npcs into Arnold Schwarzenegger

[summer cedar]

They already had motion vids in the video Nico posted.

So 🤷‍♂️ .

I am happy it didn't change the spellings on the signboards and stuff.

[pearl elk]

Lol youtube compressed ass videos

[summer cedar]

That was where my eyes first went.

[pearl elk]

Nvidia can blow, if they want to implement shit in my game they can pay me

[mild gust]

Wow

[summer cedar]

I don't think they care. 🤷‍♂️ .

[mild gust]

Definitely not

[pearl elk]

So why you guys acting like they do?

[summer cedar]

Starfield news confirmed in a few days.

[mild gust]

Who is?

[summer cedar]

PS5 edition is expensive as usual.

Something like $50.

[pearl elk]

We can talk bout it give em free marketing and games industry will still be their despite anything they do at this point

[mild gust]

I mean I own nvidia so I kinda have no choice 🤷

Is what it is

[summer cedar]

Why does that bother you? We can talk about whatever we want.

[mild gust]

Also own amd

[summer cedar]

My ATI came with my processor.

[mild gust]

and soon intel if I can get my hands on a b580

[pearl elk]

You dont have to implement features for their propietary hardware though

[mild gust]

Why not?

It's not hard

In most cases

[summer cedar]

Really?

Are you buying one?

[mild gust]

If I'm going to implement Xess and FSR

I may as well do DLSS

Would be stupid not to

[mild gust]

I want to

Been hard to find

[pearl elk]

Why would you spend your time to make the game look better for a select few versus doing that for everyone? Unless Nvidia pays you

[mild gust]

Because I want to test it on my lower end pc

[mild gust]

So every user can have the experience they want?

Instead of being an asshole to a select few.

Because I may not like a company.

[summer cedar]

Because choice. Because we can. Etc. etc.

[mild gust]

While I may not like everything nvidia does.

There's a reason they are in the lead.

[pearl elk]

Did you see the comments on DLSS5 from these users in which you speak?

[mild gust]

I'll be focusing on 4.5 for now

I'm sure they will solve their issues

[pearl elk]

Im all for improving games for everyone not just a rich few who talk down from their ivory towers and expect us to suck it up

[mild gust]

DLSS5 isn't even available in UE right now without building yourself

Ideally I find it's not worth unless they release a plugin

It tends to have bugs

More than usual

[pearl elk]

if it costs me say 100hrs implementing, testing, plus hardware costs for test rigs thats money and time I can spend on non-proprietary features

[summer cedar]

Or asking Gemini to make the plugin. 🤣

[mild gust]

I tried that once

That's why I said I doubted it worked

[summer cedar]

Umm, Lucifer...

[mild gust]

Not Gemini but

[summer cedar]

--- Modder ‘ZPASCALIONZ’ has just released a new massive 80GB 4K Landscape Texture Pack for Bethesda’s Starfield. ---

A bit much?

[pearl elk]

I'll give a few generations and Nvidia will barely be in the picture if trends keep going

almost all of the big tech companies are touching 30% inference over Nvidia currently

priced themselves out of the market

and in the mobile space where power consumption matters Google amd Microsoft have bigger improvements on their own silicon

[mild gust]

Did they though

They still have majority share on gpus lol

They still sell more ai chips than anyone too

[pearl elk]

yeah but are GPUs really what you need when most your image is AI generated?

is that a problem they caused for their GPUs hmm

[mild gust]

Not always

got nothing to do with AMD, its not a GPU race anymore and Nvidia started it

dont blame the messenger

[summer cedar]

Did you see Lisuan following the same track as NVidia?

[pearl elk]

Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Meta and Google arnt the small fish

[summer cedar]

Their new GPU compares to the 4060 and runs all the games leveraging AI upscaing.

They MIGHT dominate the market if the price point is right.

[mild gust]

Do they have their own upscaling?

or do they backpack?

[summer cedar]

They say so.

Everything is proprietary, they say.

The PRO edition of their first GPU is for devs, and supports DX12, OpenGL, Vulkan, yada yada.

[mild gust]

You mean google the one bigger than most governments?

[pearl elk]

If MS have their own hardware at some point they wont use AMD or they'll piggyback which might happen next gen

most of these guys have their own silicon which could filter into consumer products and they have afford to gobble the cost unlike Nvidia

Nvidia for them is largely just an inbetween for their own silicon, I would be very surprised if we even see another consumer level Nvidia product

[summer cedar]

Good.

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

I am all for changes.

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

[pearl elk]

yeah and thats why I bought a car with that money instead of a GPU

[summer cedar]

Ok.

le sigh

[pearl elk]

am I meant to be all hyped for snapchat filters in games?

[summer cedar]

Whatever you want.

🤷‍♂️

[pearl elk]

sorry, just not impressed lol

I got off the Nvidia hype train when he stopped talking about games now he suddenly is in with the hip cool kids again

[summer cedar]

Don't care, really.
You're just coming across and overly negative and troll-ish at this point.

[pearl elk]

critically negative

that is my intention, just so done with em aye mate

[mild gust]

I mean without them we wouldn't have all our wonderful nanite tech

or gi to the level it is

or you know list goes on really

But ya keep hating them

[pearl elk]

I especially dont like people who hail themselves as some sort of Jesus, he didnt create or save gaming... it was going just fine without Nvidia, no doubt they contributed but to act like you didnt eat 3DFXs lunch

[summer cedar]

And get ignored eventually. 🤣

[pearl elk]

wrong actually

[mild gust]

Fixed it sorry.

[pearl elk]

we could do all that stuff before and sure it might not be hardware accelerated but I really cant say... it could infact be further along without em

[mild gust]

Sure and we could be on mars without Elon Musk

But we aren't

[pearl elk]

we were on Mars without him

[mild gust]

There was a person on mars?

A human being?

[pearl elk]

what you talking about we're no where close to humans on Mars even Musk pulled back on timelines

[mild gust]

Since when

That's what I'm saying

[pearl elk]

youre saying we're no where with or without Musk?

[mild gust]

Cool

[pearl elk]

cuz Nvidia stalled 3d graphics by making it a 2d race in those early days

[mild gust]

Maybe because they wanted to refine it

[pearl elk]

but like I said, Im not going to say they havent contributed

[mild gust]

🤷

[pearl elk]

it just wasnt all them like they try to play it off as

[mild gust]

Idk if they ever have done that.

[pearl elk]

by making you buy only their products

[mild gust]

They tend to collab a lot

Do I?

[pearl elk]

sorry but Im not touching GSync ever again

[mild gust]

Last I checked I own all brands

[pearl elk]

I much prefer open standards

[mild gust]

I like them all

They all have pros and cons

[pearl elk]

I dont like Nvidia as a previous buyer of their products for over a decade

I moved to AMD and I dont care to pay to enter that club ever again

[mild gust]

I almost quit buying their stuff when I upgraded from 1050ti

[pearl elk]

you can talk down to me because Im not Musk or Huang all you like

[mild gust]

But tried one last time and ended up not regretting up

I'm not?

You can use what ever you wish

[pearl elk]

why didnt you get humans to Mars if its such a big deal to you

[mild gust]

I'm not a billionaire

[pearl elk]

because I actually care about that topic too and Musk ballsed that up prefusely

so yeah lets put em in the same pile

[mild gust]

My cousin might try though

😂

[pearl elk]

Musk can barely make a timeline for getting humans to the Moon atm, the Chinese will get there first at this rate

[summer cedar]

Which industry is he in?

[mild gust]

He doesn't care about the moon

[mild gust]

Software development

[pearl elk]

we spend all that money on all this stuff and all it does is line their pockets it never actually accelerates things in the way they say

[mild gust]

[summer cedar]

[pearl elk]

well you know who to go to if you need funding for your game

[mild gust]

Pretty much

[pearl elk]

lets just say you need 100 computers for that and they all have a certain brand of GPU you know you could cut your hardware costs in half right

I think I prefer that option to firing 10% of my staff

[mild gust]

But if 10% of your staff is just you

Then your fire part of yourself

[summer cedar]

Lmao.

[pearl elk]

Yeah the 10% of me that liked Nvidia

Ho, wow!

AI controls the assembly line.

Automatically debug your games

W/ ai

😂

Plays your games for you

While you dev on the side

Yes please

[summer cedar]

Yeah, the danger there is debugging without debugging knowledge.

Just like committing code changes without code debug know-how.

[mild gust]

But you train it for that

It plays your game

[summer cedar]

No, I mean the human.

[mild gust]

Likely with machine learning

Well I hope the human knows

[summer cedar]

The human being the idiot is how that'll get messed up.

[mild gust]

They are deving it

Whoever wants to try.

Button on right side.

The cloud container is charged at 13 cents an hour.

[mild gust]

Do you think we are Jeff Bezos

[pearl elk]

I think Id use BezOS

[summer cedar]

Do you mean you are NOT Lucy Fezos, as I have always imagined?

[mild gust]

Net

[summer cedar]

For anyone who'll whine about their data being deleted.....

Agents start with ZERO permissions.

Important point to keep in very small brain. 😄

[mild gust]

Brain off

[summer cedar]

Oh, if you have a tensor core, there is no 13 cents per hour cost for local inference.

[mild gust]

Nice

[summer cedar]

So that charge is for people without NPUs.

[mild gust]

Imagine not owning an npu

[summer cedar]

Yeah, tragedy really.

But most of us indie devs are tragic stories.

[mild gust]

We can't all sleep our way to the top

[summer cedar]

Or generate ourselves at the top.

Much easier, still a challenge.

[mild gust]

Just generate yourself in a bathroom

Close enough

[summer cedar]

So, NVidia's Groq and X's Grok are different, right?

Riiiighhhtttt?

[mild gust]

Yes

[summer cedar]

I recommend setting its pronunciation to a lower O sound, instead of Grok's higher O sound.

Something like Groook.

Asmongold's video about DLSS released 5 hours ago.

Did you watch it? I haven't yet, so asking. 😄

[mild gust]

Not yet lol

Seen a few videos on it already

May as well it's 12 mins

[summer cedar]

He's impressed at first.

Until he sees the bad lighting in one image.

[mild gust]

Wait till he gets to fifa

Fifa is cooked

[summer cedar]

He isn't wrong. I said the same thing before.

[mild gust]

Yeah

[summer cedar]

It has to be implemented in a controlled way.

[mild gust]

That old lady to

[summer cedar]

You know, I want to see what the Koreans and Chinese do with it.

I bet the Ks can get some amazing stuff done.

[pearl elk]

It makes all the asian characters caucasian probably

[mild gust]

Wonder what the training material is

[summer cedar]

That's probably uniform right now for most of the biggie-wigs.

[mild gust]

How many game characters are white..

[pearl elk]

Probably all that facial capture from cctvs

[summer cedar]

Big Data Mk1 Training Material, buy for 1 million.

[mild gust]

Almost like it's a white dominated space.

[summer cedar]

That's reducing, depending on the model you use.

I've made some really good Chinese stuff with Nano.

I am surprised Asmon is being as rational as he can be.

Good on him.

The answer you were looking for earlier

DLSS Zorah

[summer cedar]

Thank you very much. 🙂

I thought it wasn't AC, like someone suggested.

The characters looked different.

[mild gust]

Ponkkis!

[pearl elk]

One day games wont look like this cuz no one can afford artists

[mild gust]

Finally

Then they can hire robos

[pearl elk]

Im not sure they'll be cheaper with the state of the energy market
