What kind of subdivs with displacement mapping are used in this demo then?
I'm guessing mega geometry is an expansion of DMM to the point where DMM on its own is not necessary. Probably just rolled in and renamed.

A reminder that NVIDIA presented a Neural Rendering demo on the RTX 4090 last July, as described in the link below, so Neural Rendering will be supported on RTX 40 series at the very least.

Yeah, well, Nvidia presented ray tracing on a GV100 and Pascal has "support" for DXR too. Doesn't mean much I'm afraid.

I'm a bit confused about this. Has it actually been explicitly stated that Nvidia's new neural rendering technologies in their RTX kit are Blackwell only as a hard requirement? The developer page has one mention of Blackwell from what I can tell as more of a marketing tie in.
A performance requirement is different as that would apply to simply just supporting cooperative vectors in Direct X as well with all architectures.

No. If anything we have the opposite statements thus far. But we don't know what impact the lack of Blackwell's h/w optimization will have on performance of any of these new features.
