Nvidia cards don’t require their own dedicated PSU, what on earth are you talking about?
Comment on NVIDIA is full of shit
just_another_person@lemmy.world 4 days agoFirst, DLSS is supported on Linux.
Second, DLSS is kinda bullshit. The article goes into details that are fairly accurate.
Lastly, AMD is at parity with Nvidia with features. You can see my other comments, but AMD’s goal isn’t selling cards for gamers. Especially ones that require an entire dedicated PSU to power them.

Low rent comment.
First: corsair.com/…/rtx-5090-5080-and-5070-series-gpus-…
Second: you apparently are unaware, so just search up the phrase, but as this article very clearly explains…it’s shit. 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. It’s like saying you want food to taste better, but then they serve you a vegan version of it. AMD’s version is technically more useful, but it’s still a dumb trick.

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?

Like I said…you don’t know what DLSS is, or how it works. It’s not using “AI”, that’s just marketing bullshit. Apparently it works on some people 😂
You can find tons of info on this (why I told you to search it up), but it uses rendering tables, inference sorting, and pattern recognition to quickly render scenes with other tricks that video formats have used for ages to render images at a higher resolution cheaply from the point of view of the GPU. 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.
Why you think it makes games better is subjective, but it solely works to run games with the same details at a higher resolution. It doesn’t improve rendered scenes whatsoever. It’s literally the same thing as lowering your resolution and increasing texture compression (same affect on cached rendered scenes), since you bring it up. The effect on the user being a higher FPS at a higher resolution which you could achieve by just lowering your resolution. It absolutely does not make a game playable while otherwise unplayable by adding details and texture definition, as you seem to be claiming.
Go read up.

Don’t you mean NVidia’s goal isn’t selling cards for gamers?

No. AMD. See my other comments in this thread. Though they are in every major gaming console, the bulk of AMD sales are aimed at the datacenter.
