Wow just read and watched that, looks really cool. Will be interesting to see how this interfaces with FG.
Yup. If a transistor in the new process node costs the same as a transistor in the old node then perf/$ increase from node shrinks is gone. What we'll see for raw flops is a tepid uplift from increased clock speeds and slight cost reduction as yields improve and the node gets commoditized. The big face-melting gains are going to come from either fixed-function blocks (RT) and/or major algorithmic advances (AI).
Yeah, I’m not sure how else they could do it without major artifacting or other oddities. They really focused on its use in esports where the frame rates are already pretty high and thus the pixel movement in any direction per frame update should be relatively small (and I don’t think many people play esports at 4k but I don’t pay much attention to it).
In the ces thread there is a video on reflex 2 and the example they show they are saying they are generating those missing part of the frame with AI using rendering buffers.
I’m sure DF will do a deep dive (a lot of new features to explore here). I’d guess there is a limit to how far any frame can “warp.”
Aha! I knew there was a reason I became a lawyer and not a software engineer! Sounds clever. So even if there is artifacting it will presumably be limited to the edge of frames, so you probably wouldn’t notice it too much in actual gameplay.
seems to be no very obvious artifacting, they show an on and off. I assume they used AI over rendering a bigger frame so they don't run into occlusion artifacting which they show around the gun as it moves.
My thoughts exactly - we all knew NVIDIA would aim to stay ahead on software features, but this is remarkable. Between that and the prices Blackwell looks like a worst case scenario for AMD and Intel.
Yep - reality is that even to the extent there are artifacts, they would occupy a handful of pixels-width at most and outside your primary field of view. And if they can keep things relatively clean even at low frame rates it could be a major boon for lower-mid range cards since it would help ameliorate one of the major downsides to low FPS gaming.
That's above my pay grade lol
I'm guessing the AI does whatever it would do in a frame generation aspect in the same scenario, especially if they could have 3 future frames rendered. Thinking about it in an fps game with the reticle centre screen your always going to have some pixels to work with right? even peaking you never have your crosshair jammed right against the side of a viewport with nothing rendered left/right of it?
