Nvidia’s new high end graphics card kicks AMD’s offering in the teeth
Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.
So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.
More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability
I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.
Nvidia presented Covert Protocol, a tech demo aiming to showcase the "power" of the Nvidia Ace technology applied to video game characters.
I don’t know why people keep thinking of it as AI vs no AI.
A much more likely scenario is the use of AI alongside human work.
Eg. AI voices used during side quests or banter to boost the lines of dialog.
AI generating additional pre determined branches in dialog tree options for more freedom in conversations with NPCs
The biggest thing to talk about here is that every interaction requires communication to inworld servers so there's three big impacts here
1) games are always online no question about it
2) delays in processing on inworld servers, outages or unexpected load as a result of some astronomically popular game will cause real time game delays ever wait for a chat got response this will be similar as the context must be pulled via the llm.
Now as for the other impact the artistic one no I don't think writers can be replaced I've mentioned before often AI generated writing is word soup I still standby that it's also evident in the video to.
AI can not convery accurately human emotions and I don't think ever will.
I know publishers are looking to cut down on development costs but what happens when inworld decide to charge per interaction or update their pricing a year after your game goes live you have no choice but pay it or shutter it.
Ive felt for a while that we are heading towards this place of games being disposable entertainment and now it's feeling more and more accurate
NVIDIA has released the RTX HDR AI-powered Freestyle filter to enable great HDR in SDR-only PC games. They also added RTX Dynamic Vibrance.
I had a little drag and drop mod that did this, it's nice to see that I can do it through the filters now. It really makes a difference on games like Control that has some really washed out blacks making the game lose depth and look flat. Borderlands 2 looks great with it on, makes the colours pop and the 'splosion's are epic.
most unbiased trusted reviewers stated that amds most powerful and nvidias most powerful were on par. Amd won some benchmarks and nvidia won some but both cards have their pros and cons and im still desiding which one to buy. Amd has 1gb more vram so it should perform better across a few monitors and at higher resolutions but nvidia has 3d vision. I wish i could try out 3d vision somewhere before actually making the damn decision and eyefinity is nice but i'd prefer to have one larger monitor.
Your 100% correct there very little differnce and what the odd % is comming from nvidia topping the amd 7970 Is basicly because of the self overclock funtion the 680 has over the 7970.
Now if amd had this feature maybe we get slightly differnt results.
The 680 isn't even the high end card and its doing justice against the 7970. I'll never buy another AMD card because of the lack of driver support for many of the new games released.
Very little difference, however when you do look at the benchmarks in the more high profile games Nvidia does appear to have the advantage. As stated NYC_Gamer; I'll be going with Nvidia because of driver support. I'm holding out for a possible 4GB version for next month or I'll just pick up a version which is already available.
Oh you mean gtx next card the twin gpu card... Cos thats the only one comming btw have you met the 7990
if you beleave the gtx 680 isnt there high end single gpu then i hate to see price of next one seeming at the price of the gtx680 is or was same as the gtx580 witch was there fastest single gpu.
I think gtx do what AMD done bring lower cards out now leave the twin gpu card last.
Look at it this way m8 if there pricing there cards just over £400 can you honistly tell me they have another single GPU higher than gtx680 at what cost £500 thats nutz
But dont forget looking at benchmarks is ok but in game that counts not numbers..
As stated gtx has self overclock amd7970 at stock doesnt soo gonna have the edge.
Just stating mate desnt add up.
