NVidia Ada Speculation, Rumours and Discussion

I think in the 4000 this unit has been upgraded. The speed Optical Flow block in 2000 and 3000 are not very high

But then DLSS 3 should be available on these cards, but at a lower performance and/or quality. If the hardware is there, that should be possible.
 
What's the need for it then? The whole point of DLSS3 is interpolation frames, if there is no doubling then there is no point
Well, let's say it slows down average framerate by %30 somehow, but it will end up, theoritically, achieve %100 more frames. Don't you think it is not worth it to bring it to older cards in that case?

What if it doesn't give 100%? Would it give 50? 10? Or will interpolation completely slow down all pipeline?
As far as I understand all stages before interpolation in DLSS3 are exactly the same as in 2, you will not get higher quality with 3
 
AMD should understand now that it's not just about classical raw specs anymore, for too long they have ignored AI in graphics, now they are outclassed twice, if DLSS 3 works as good as DLSS 2 then I can see every developer under the sun embracing it, who would hate an instant fps boost without too much of a fuss? No more gamers complaining of bad optimization or low fps!
 
Wait what?! Is that the optical flow hardware that is described in the RTX 4000 marketing?

If that's the case and the hardware for DLSS3 is really in Turing and Ampere, then that's HUGE BS from Nvidia.

If this is true, they might be using it to push RTX 4090 as faster than they actually are. We'll see when reviews hit. This presentation looked like a lot of FUD.
 
3090-3090Ti were $1500-2500 though, 4080 12GB moves this into $900.
It is a sizeable perf/price improvement albeit the prices themselves are anything but mainstream.

It is an improvement but not by the standards of previous generational shifts where a x070 class product could be expected to achieve similar performance to the outgoing king at a mainstream price.
 
Like someone linked a few posts ago, Turing and Ampere already have that hardware unit or one with the same name.

It's likely the the hardware capabilities are different as they are between turing an ampere. It would be pretty scummy if they artificially blocked ampere, for example, from using DLSS 3. It's possible that's what's happening. it think it's more likely there's a hardware limitation. We'll find at out some point in the future.

Turing's Optical Flow block has less pixel granularity than Ampere, Ampere also has less granularity than Ada.

Also clocks play an important role here, high fps at 4K requires higher clocks.

Ada's Optical Flow has been beefed up and is also more capable to suit this job, which was never required from eithef Turing or Ampere.
