randomly lag

like terribly

what was that one app to check up

[lone mango]

[tacit geode]

rich

[misty sparrow]

that’s what she didn’t say

[queen briar]

Took 2 hours but I moved the mother board to the new case with the AIO attached. Also named all the drives where they were put in. Also took out half the fans and cleaned GPU.

Tomorrow will be other fans, psu, cleaning fans and AIO and then connecting everything again.

Only thing I'm mad about is I cant add my cd reader to the case 🙁

[tall pine]

Bring back Parks and Recreation's Baby Size Cans!

[tall pine]

Anyway for you to attach it to the exterior?

Or place it in the rear with the gpu

[wary fjord]

Better than small one.. u get more out of long ones.. maybe theres price diff also?

[wary fjord]

Idk if 0.43 difference is that bad at all xD

Its hard to buy original themal grizzly now adays anyways

Even amazon had fake ones xD

Never heard Duronaut yet .. i have the kryounut.. good enough for my 65w r5 3600 cpu... I also put that on my 175w gpu. The idle is nice on it...

Will try duronaut next time when my paste dried out.

[sand hill]

Ok I was about to rant but I’ll rant later cause I got a lil question I want to ask which is this

Now I notice it has 4 fans but during the video like this I notice it can hold more fan but is it necessary or no?

(If anyone curious about this here’s the link)

https://youtu.be/A58KLI9AErQ?si=7t4oT0YzwoUmPyPf

[bitter ridge]

It's not necessary but filling every place we can put a fan in helps some people sleep better at night

[sand hill]

So it’s a no then hm? I just need one of those air cooler for the mother board and all and plus side curious but what does it do for top and bottom?

It doesn’t overheat right?

[sinful blade]

It’s not necessary
The 4 standard fans will be more than fine. Your cpu cooler, just get a thermal right peerless assassin or one of the new versions and you’ll be fine

Don’t add the fans until you need to

[sand hill]

Gotcha thanks, honestly I was a little concerned but don’t need to as long the 4 fans can cool it more then I’ll be fine

[sinful blade]

That’s a cheaper case btw.

Highly suggest something else

@sand hill

[sand hill]

Thanks but I like this to be honest

[frigid stag]

Case is mostly personal preference buy what u like

As long as airflow isn’t trash

[sinful blade]

Fill us in before you buy @sand hill
Just so we can make sure you’re getting the best value

[sand hill]

If you mean like parts then sure I’ll let you know

[frigid stag]

Literally just a box for ur parts if u mean case

Researching it yourself is the best regardless

[elfin mural]

ram obsession

ram used to be something that people didn't even think about too much

now some people just farm attention off it by talking about it all the time

[bitter ridge]

Yeah it's one of the more boring PC components like a motherboard,psu

[velvet summit]

The geese are returning

I can hear them

[wary fjord]

U can run them in low rpm of if u have so many fans. Its for aesthetics also..

But its not that nessary... Its an "option"

Its up to you if you want or nah. I put 10 fan on mine. 3 front 1 back 3 bottom. 3 on the rad on top.

[frosty sinew]

Can you program like certain keys onto an elgato stream deck?

Like eg a certain special character

Looking to get one for labs and stuff with equations

[elfin mural]

you should be able to in theory

[frosty sinew]

Bet

[velvet summit]

if you have an old tablet, you could use a software to do a similar thing to the stream deck
fifine also makes essentially a clone of the stream deck for cheaper

[frosty sinew]

No tablet as I'm at college but an off brand isn't a bad idea either

As long as the software is good

Looking at either the stream deck xl or the plus

Or the one with the knobs

Since I alr use a deej mixer

Ps5 pro is a pretty good deal now ngl

I don't think you can create a 9060xt 16gb PC for $900

[elfin mural]

it's doable, if you pair it with a 4790k

the immortal cpu

totally

[bitter ridge]

Is that cpu glazed all the time like 1080ti

[elfin mural]

yeah

[opaque sedge]

U could make one for 1k with the 9600x bfr rammagedon

And 32 gigs of ram

[bitter ridge]

That guy will remember that deal till he dies

[opaque sedge]

There were prebuilts available for a time to with a similar spec for 900-1100

Wait that’s weird what the hell

If you click on the video like in discord it’s fine but if you go to YouTube and listen it’s screwed up

[velvet summit]

The what

[bitter ridge]

Look like it is youtube's fault and not IGN

[velvet summit]

I saw a gas station on the highway for the first time in my life

[velvet summit]

That might sound weird but I just live too north and basically never go on the highways that go from east to west, since they're mostly down south

[nocturne flicker]

Yeah, if you go into the settings on Youtube for the video, it has two audio tracks, one labeled Portuguese and one auto-translated English, the Portuguese is the original audio and the auto translate is the default borked stuff on YT

[pliant berry]

there has been ocassional weirdness with the languages and dubbing on yt. There was a period of time where yt would keep defaulting mkbhd videos to auto dubbed japanese for some reason

[icy ore]

[opaque sedge]

I do

Its awesome

Cept i haven’t touched any fromsoft games

Cuz

They dont support ultrawide

And have an annoying anticheat

[rancid juniper]

there should be mods for that

[opaque sedge]

There are mods

Fromsoft games alone are why i’m tempted to get a 16:9 secondary monitor

But

They so expensive

Well oled ones

[craggy shoal]

I want a 32:9 with a firmware that lets it have a 16:9 in the middle and two 8:9 virtual screens on either side. But no, our puny brains haven't figured that out yet

Most useless monitor form factor just because of this

[opaque sedge]

How abt

48:9

And u split the monitor into three

16:9s

Is there 48:9 tho

[craggy shoal]

Perfect sim racing monitor tbh (actually, I guess 32:9 monitors are good for that, after using one for an edurance race)

[opaque sedge]

I wouldn’t get 32:9 even if i had the money till upscaling tech becomes better at lower internal resolution

Cuz those monitors have just as many pixels as 4k

But not nearly the same density

21:9 imo is the perfect entry point for an ultrawide experience

Its a decent bit more demanding than 1440p (20-30% more) but not nearly as much as 4k

[craggy shoal]

I just want OLED at this point

But my IPS is fine enough

[opaque sedge]

the Microcenter near me has a 480hz oled open box for 600…

[craggy shoal]

Wow that's insane

[opaque sedge]

A thousand dolla msrp i think

[craggy shoal]

Yeah I was about to say 💀

No way it's $600

In Micro Center we trust

[opaque sedge]

Oh wait wtf

Its only 180hz

But

This is what mini led monitors cost

And u get re requiem

[craggy shoal]

"only 180 Hz." We've hit a standard. Now devs should develop for it

CHOP CHOP

LET'S MAKE A FUNCTIONAL GAME

[opaque sedge]

Its quite low for oleds… given how fast they are

[craggy shoal]

Bruh my 170Hz 1440p IPS was $279.99 😭

[opaque sedge]

240hz is minimum of what u would expect from an oled

Oh wait there’s these too

[craggy shoal]

It's crazy because you used to only be able to get 60Hz out of an OLED without colors smearing all over your screen

[opaque sedge]

When tf did hp make an oled monitor

[opaque sedge]

Damn fr?

[craggy shoal]

Yeah back when people were just getting off of the TN vs VA vs IPS argument

[opaque sedge]

And lemme guess

These oleds were like

Macro prices

[craggy shoal]

$500 for 1440p 60Hz iirc 💀

Ridiculous pricing lmaooo

[opaque sedge]

[opaque sedge]

I spent 4090 money on 2 gpus to be stuck with a gpu that doesn’t come close to a 4090

I wish i could go back in time, buy some nvidia stock and a 4080super instead of the 4070super

But “china bad china bad” makes us forced to have teslas

[rancid juniper]

And most of the stuff we got is made in China, those hypocrites

[acoustic palm]

I also think that stuff is banned cause teslas would go bankrupt if BYD was in America

[rancid juniper]

Pretty much, they want to get rid as much competition as possible for Americans to ONLY rely on select companies

[nocturne flicker]

@rancid juniper i think ngreedia might have hit a bottleneck in how much they can make upscaling look better 😭

[royal crow]

As a fan of tech i will never be upgrading anything ever again

[proud jackal]

Ruining artists presentation

[nocturne flicker]

DLSS 5 injects your games with mandatory AI usage that results in the devs' vision being forcibly changed in the name of saving AI datacenters

[opaque sedge]

Now i am convinced AI isn’t the future or at the very least is like 9999999999999% overvalued

[dusk knot]

[rancid juniper]

Lmfao, pulling off a bs move to make it look like it can improve visuals

[rancid juniper]

Lol

[dusk knot]

[opaque sedge]

So moore’s law is dead, and AI upscaling tech which is like still fairly new has alr hit a bottleneck in like not even a whole generation

💀

[nocturne flicker]

What do you think it'll be optional going forward?

Why would Nvidia let that happen

[rancid juniper]

Cooked I'm afraid, these technologies can't even last against the real ones like tessellation and ambient occlusion

[dusk knot]

How about if it’s locally run without the need of server streaming?

[nocturne flicker]

DLSS 6, mandatory always online mode so AI datacenters can process your AI remodelling

You'll get local upscaling but your system will be pinged via your internet service to ensure you are complying with Nvidia's AI usage policies

[proud jackal]

i bring you death stranding 2

[rancid juniper]

It legit looks like any other AI generated image/filter you plaster on. Purpose of dlss is to improve resolution clarity while rendering under lower resolution that's it. If you want to "yassify" the game make it as a separate filter or have a mod bruh

It's that simple

[dusk knot]

What’s happening now doesn’t take away from that achievement

[opaque sedge]

Yk what games should have focused on? More funky physics, motion, animations, there’s so much we haven’t hit a bottleneck on yet

[nocturne flicker]

What's happening now is making a mockery of games

[rancid juniper]

Mockery of art

[dusk knot]

Oh well. You guys can hate all you want.

I respect that.

[opaque sedge]

The only alternative to hate is like

And there is no way a real person can like that shit

[rancid juniper]

I mean you do you if it's something you like, I cannot change that stance.

[nocturne flicker]

It just shouldn't be mandatory for everyone else

And if they aren't going to detach it from DLSS

[misty sparrow]

a lot of games now look great and play great

[rancid juniper]

Anyways AMD has got to improve ray regeneration before it gets to more games

[nocturne flicker]

It will probably become mandatory

[misty sparrow]

with dlss

How bad is 4800? Fps wise?

However on Intel... Difference is there

You can always overclock the kit

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

They actually fulfilled the RTX ON meme years ago

They committed to the bit frfr

[lone mango]

How about they push the texture compression to make the 9 gig 5050 feel like 12 instead

[rancid juniper]

Apple tech, where 8gb feels like 16gb

🔥

[misty sparrow]

[rancid juniper]

[wooden fractal]

oh bro i seen this LOL

yea im sticking with DLSS 4.5 atp

[worn night]

some people would still say smash

[opaque sedge]

Yeah

Right

[lone mango]

This shit is true npc slop

[dusk knot]

Tsk

[lone mango]

They are literally interfering with the developer's artstyle, and imposing their own shit that makes everything look the same

[lone mango]

[lone mango]

[rancid juniper]

DLSS 4.5 looks good still despite the performance cost of the two presets

[dusk knot]

If it doesn't fit with their original vision or consent.

If not, it's a problem for sure

[dusk knot]

[bitter ridge]

[misty sparrow]

are they showing actual gameplay or just places where the character doesnt move

guys I am going to try marvel rivals with XESS FG again

this time properly

[worn night]

you have marvel rivals right

[rancid juniper]

Yes

[worn night]

[lone mango]

It also looks like it was heavily altered in lightroom, like if it isn't supposed to look like that

Ya dig

[rancid juniper]

In 30 minutes, are you available then?

[worn night]

[rancid juniper]

Oh boy. that doesn't work

[dusk knot]

What's the original non dlss image?

[lone mango]

you know what this shit looks like

it looks like facebook videos

we out here playing facebook games

[bitter ridge]

Side by Side

[lone mango]

idk how to descibe it

it just has that trying to hard to be perfect look

[bitter ridge]

So you go from being 15-16 year old to 46 year old

[lone mango]

while also looking smooth

very strange

[lone mango]

also what did they even do in the first one

[dusk knot]

Looks better, just uncanny in appearance

[lone mango]

did they just turn down the settings to exaggerate the difference

[bitter ridge]

Hogwarts isn't that good with facial rendering

[dusk knot]

The older guy doesn't look bad

[bitter ridge]

Kojima games vs Dlss 5 would be interesting to see

[lone mango]

i dont remember him looking like that on the ps5

idk maybe they just chose a shit scene

lmfao

[acoustic palm]

So it’s a ai image filter

That looks horrible

[sinful blade]

Nvidia once again screwing itself

And gamers will eat it up

[lone mango]

They completely override the developer's art direction with it and it makes things look like a facebook video

[opaque sedge]

Yeah this shit is def not enhancing just “lighting”

[acoustic palm]

Yup

[lone mango]

The hogwarts legacy shot with the wrinkles looks like something on facebook because the wrinkles are smooth

They exaggerate contrast and highlights while smoothing things out

It looks like a heavily altered lightroom image, the environments

Yes. The ballbearings on my car's axles are good

Idky that auto corrected from lubed to loved.

[misty sparrow]

i wonder how it would look on that Attack on Titan DLC for the game

[dusk knot]

It's just they need to work on faces

[dusk knot]

Don't lie, that screenshot looks great.

[opaque sedge]

Et tu jupé?

[dusk knot]

No

[pliant berry]

honestly the dlss kinda ruined the lighting

[opaque sedge]

Im sorry this genuinely looks like an AI generated image made from a generator

[opaque sedge]

Only difference is its managing to hold detail

[dusk knot]

An overcast makes that kind of lighting

Go outside, guys

😤

[wary fjord]

Hmmm me low settings enjoyer.. "good enough"

[dusk knot]

Clouds are highly reflective

Looks just like that

The game is in fact dimming down the real world visuals

[opaque sedge]

…

[pliant berry]

unless the screenshot wasn't taken 1:1? the first one has a much harsher light coming from behind as if it is sunrise/sunset with deeper shadows but the second basically has no shadows and looks like there is a second bright light source off to the right esxcept that the shadow of the hook on the characters back is still in the same position

[dusk knot]

Remove the Snow

[opaque sedge]

Might doxx myself

[opaque sedge]

[pliant berry]

it's too late

pinpointing your location...

[opaque sedge]

I’LL REMOVE UR BRAIN AND TRANSPLANT A NEW ONE

[pliant berry]

...aannnd got it we have a lock

[opaque sedge]

Hah that place is 50 miles away from where i am

[worn night]

Ok I tested marvel rivals with xefg

and low latency too

without anything on and at medium settings i got about 70-85 fps consistently

[dusk knot]

It's accurate @opaque sedge

[worn night]

With fg and low latency turned on to 2x fg i got about 90-110 fps

im not sure if its map dependant however

I will now try 3x fg

[opaque sedge]

Quite a low base fps ngl

[worn night]

This is all at 1440p and i turned off super resolution

[opaque sedge]

Turn on a bit of upscaling

[worn night]

Not for this

[bitter ridge]

No idea what Xefg is like since there is so little coverage of it

[worn wave]

Why are we using FG in a multiplayer fps 😭

[opaque sedge]

Only place he can test it i think

[worn night]

i swear if one more person says this

[opaque sedge]

For intel

[worn night]

Do you know any other game with xefg support thats free

Ill wait

[worn wave]

Oh you're just testing it out

[worn night]

Gotta put in the testing for everyone

[worn wave]

Fair enough I suppose

[worn night]

i dont actually play marvel rivals lol

[bitter ridge]

Cyberpunk has it but dk if you own it or not

[worn night]

Conclusion, 2x fg didnt multiply it by 2x but it increased supposedly..

Now ill try 3x

[worn wave]

To be expected cause there's overhead to turning it on

[tranquil pebble]

tfw video game enslopification

[opaque sedge]

Fg actually cuts ur base fps by a bit cuz it needs some of ur gpu resources

Suppose ur getting 80fps no fg on

With fg ur true framerate is now 60

[tranquil pebble]

using framegen with base fps below 60 is asking for a bad time

[acoustic palm]

Uh

[opaque sedge]

Which is why u’ll see people run 2 gpu setups to have the second one handle lossless scaling framegen

[acoustic palm]

Sure

[dusk knot]

I sent a picture

[acoustic palm]

Which is basically the only need for it

[opaque sedge]

Fg is very weird

Its only good when ur alr having a good experience

[acoustic palm]

Ok, it still looks fake and ai generated

[dusk knot]

The intensity of the sunlight going through the clouds and reflecting off the surface up and down again is accurate.

[dusk knot]

Ofc it looks kind of fake. The tech is still not perfect

[dusk knot]

It's not going to stay like that forever.

[acoustic palm]

It looks fake. Not kinda fake. It looks absolutely terrible and looks like it’s a purely ai generated image

[dusk knot]

Still better than the base game

[acoustic palm]

Hell no

😭

Base game looks far better

[sinful blade]

https://tenor.com/view/nvidia-geforce-rtx-rtxon-ray-tracing-gif-4839119176416120032

[dusk knot]

Lets put aside the disliking of the technology for a minute and focus on the results. Pretend it's not AI. I'm only talking about the Assassin's Creed screenshot.

[acoustic palm]

The base game looks better

The 5.0 one looks fake and ai generated and off

[dusk knot]

Idk what to tell you then lol

I think I'm done talking about it.

[opaque sedge]

Dude lets be real… that was a desperate attempt at making the industry believe there is still advancement happening… they’ve definitely hit a bottleneck and are actively gaslighting us

[dusk knot]

Sigh....

Back to the gym.

[acoustic palm]

Oh shoot

I forgot to ask my friend what gym he goes to

Cause it’s time to lock in and get some muscle

[heady plinth]

I thought the on version looked like they completely changed the lighting and slapped an intagram filter on everyone.

[dusk knot]

I keep up with the tech almost everyday through two YouTubers as my future career will have it in the mix. There is progress. Just not at the same rapid rate as a few years ago.

I'm not taking sides for these companies. I'm only interested in my own personal implications

[worn night]

Now using 3x fg i got a consistent 170-190 fps in 3 maps

and the game still looks fantastic

Now trying 4x

damn, thats brutal

[pliant berry]

the 2fa for google, like when you login they make you open the youtube app to confirm sign in. except for me the prompt never actually shows up

[velvet summit]

i didnt even know google had a youtube 2fa

[queen briar]

everything has 2FA

[velvet summit]

when did they add this lmao

[velvet summit]

i meant the using the youtube app to confirm sign in

[queen briar]

its been there for awhile. most of the time it doesnt activate if you log in regulary or its from a unknown source.

[pliant berry]

yeah I usually use security keys but some emulated apps don't read them correctly so I have to use that option

[queen briar]

mhmm

doesnt youtube take biometrics?

i know microsoft and paypal use mine.

[velvet summit]

why does this look like a roblox game

[pliant berry]

I think they started but I don't use those often since it's tied to the phone

[queen briar]

hmm

its weird google has an authenticator, but i dont think youtube or gmail verifies through it

if it does, my settings for it is off.

nvidia, paypal, amazon, firefox, all connected.

i dont see why Discord doesnt use biometrics to confirm users instead of IDs.

just have Samsung or Apple confirm IDs on phone, we they just match the keys with discord when they request it.

[gleaming sedge]

How good is the Rock Space AC2100 Dual Band Gigabit router? Looking for a cheap option to get ethernet in the house for my printer

Found one for 20 near me

[queen briar]

Desktop is a different story.

if the microsoft store requires ID, then let it go through there.

[dusk knot]

Lmaooo

[velvet summit]

i use my yubico

[pliant berry]

they're still having trouble securing tokens

[queen briar]

who discord?

[pliant berry]

ye

[queen briar]

microsoft has fixed that issue though.

like, theres no reason every company needs a seperate token system.

[velvet summit]

if you just need something to connect your printer, anything would work pretty muchc

[queen briar]

hell, make the tokens QR codes.

like when we steam login.

it angers me every company wants their own system so they can sell the data and profit off it.

i dont mind giving up my data, but centralize the damn thing.

[north crescent]

afaik if a site uses google oauth/etc for sign in, then said site creates a token for itself. Everyone still uses their own token system regardless of whether they use password or separate account auth (MS, google, apple, etc).

The main issue is that discord is electron based, so it's a browser. afaik tokens are just cookies which by default dont have any decent encryption (or if they are custom, still dont have good encryption lol). Plus discords API is ass and has no security in mind at all (why the heck does one allow tokens to be shared with ease, like the Arc Raiders thing recently).

[north crescent]

Why not just totp oauth (six digit pin that changes every 15s or whatever)? Or just the default android popup thing, if you decide to sign into your google account

[pliant berry]

I only have 1 android that I don't carry often and im just kinda lazy to add totp. Don't love configuring 10 different 2fa methods to a single account

[wary fjord]

Token can bypass 2fa which is sad

[pliant berry]

ye

[gleaming sedge]

I need it to bridge mode to my current router is the main thing I need to make sure it'll do

[velvet summit]

Wireless bridging?

Most wifi extenders can do that

if you just need ethernet couldn't you just get a switch? surely there is at least one lan port on the existing router?

with a 7700 and 64gb of ddr5

and 3080

and the chromebook it has an oled screen and 18 hour battery life

and small and portable

[acoustic palm]

I doubt the battery life, and I’d bet it’s gonna be a first gen panel and have burn in issues

[jagged sorrel]

The Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook (13") features a 13.3-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) OLED touchscreen display with 400 nits brightness and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, often referred to as Gen 6 in Lenovo's naming convention, IdeaPad Duet 5 Chromebook Gen 6 13" - Qualcomm - Lenovo. It uses a Samsung OLED panel designed for deep blacks and vibrant colors

its gen 6 lol

[acoustic palm]

That’s not a thing

Current gen is gen 4

[misty sparrow]

chromebooks are kinda ehh

dont care what tech the screen has nor the specs, they're just trash

[acoustic palm]

Including basic web searching

Intel Celeron n100 or smth

[opaque sedge]

Is the pcmr community like personally cursed by god or smth, all their worst fears always seem to come true for some reason 💀

[nocturne flicker]

The N100 is way better than what we had

We had the N2840

@nocturne flicker what do u think of the use of anchovies in pasta

[nocturne flicker]

Dunno

I've never eaten anchovies

I think it was done in an episode of Futurama

That is my opinion

Wanna take a gander at what type of sauce this is

[nocturne flicker]

I see high quantities of non-meat matter

[opaque sedge]

Its seafood

I used sardines

It actually slaps for some reason

[frigid stag]

can you believe this crap

[nocturne flicker]

Oh. I was going to ask if it was a variant of amatriciana

@EndymionYT What a terrible take. It's just real light, nothing more and nothing less! Why doesn't anyone get that!? The character models are not altered by the AI. That's just how it looks when you add real lighting to video games.

"its just real light" LOL

I hate people

[nocturne flicker]

The lighting is so real it made her jawline change shape

[dusk knot]

Hmm

[dusk knot]

He's got a point.

[frigid stag]

[dusk knot]

But yeah she does look AI generated

[frigid stag]

exactly

if this was path tracing or something i'd agree sure "real light" but this?

[dusk knot]

However, some locally runed image generators like Z image turbo on my computer looks even more realistic to the point where you might think it's a real photo

[nocturne flicker]

If a trillion dollar company can only crap out that what is the point

[dusk knot]

Not all high end companies have the most realistic results. China is doing really well in that sector.

[nocturne flicker]

Need I remind you, world's largest company

Larger value than most country's gdps

In fact, if Nvidia's value was translated to an independent country's gdp, it'd be the country with the 6th largest gdp

[worn wave]

If you mean the spot under her ear I'm pretty sure that was just a weird shadow that got removed

It is definitely adding extra detail to the lips and skin that isn't meant to be there though

Actual geometry is the same though, just looks more angular due to the light

My guess is Nvidia will be adjusting the model to avoid adding detail that isn't lighting

[worn wave]

Kinda bizzare to release the examples they did though

[worn night]

[opaque sedge]

I am suspicious of the fact of if the clips they revealed are even ingame footage and are in fact just clips they slapped a filter on top or enhanced with AI

[nocturne flicker]

You will take your fake graphical layer on fake frames at fake resolutions and you will like it

[dusk knot]

would you say this looks a bit less "AI" like?

[worn wave]

Nah it's definitely real

[nocturne flicker]

No

[dusk knot]

its the angle. got it

[nocturne flicker]

The background falls apart too

Extremely heavy blurring to obscure the fact that it can't generate the words on signs properly

[worn wave]

Well

That's typical in portrait shots

[nocturne flicker]

Also small details like there being no building between the steps on that building balcony far in the back

[dusk knot]

thats not the point. I added blur. but I can fix that

[nocturne flicker]

You asked me to determine if it looked less AI. I get similar but different tells when looking at it that it is AI

The face is better, but other things about the picture are off

[worn wave]

The DF video actually specifically says they were given playable demos; some of the footage is of monitors at whatever event they were at

Like the hoodie that doesn't seem to exist except for the strings and the hood and a little bit peeking out of one sode of the jacket

Which isn't even the part of the jacket you can see the most under

[dusk knot]

right right

so dlss5 is just real light? wow

[safe cape]

[proud jackal]

[dusk knot]

I mean. techically. no

[velvet summit]

that looks terrible

[opaque sedge]

There’s a good chunk of people saying it looks good 😭
