It was a contributed by someone outside Nvidia but they didn't have to accept it I suppose Kind of tenuous as a feature when Q2RTX always had TAAU though (DLSS isn't compatible with Quakes GPL license so NV had to settle for store brand upscaling)

With the latest buttcoin crash, a 3060 is down to about a dollar a day on Nicehash after electricity in the US. Even a 3090 with no hash limiter is at about a 500 day timeframe to recoup the cost. Maybe there is some hope of better times later this year? (or maybe the next covid strain will kill us all and also somehow be on the blockchain, skyrocketing crypto prices)

Crypto crashing was only a question of time now that I decided to stop chasing FE prices and bought a card (nothing but ❤️ for canna happy, though)

It's still not down as low as it was during late spring/early summer last year, and it recovered from that, so I don't think you can say that the crypto menace is over now or whatever. It's still an encouraging sign, though.

The crypto market taking a poo poo has already had a noticeable impact on the older used market in the UK, some of the recent insane price inflation id seen over the last few months has gone - 980Ti’s selling for more like 200ish on eBay again rather then 250-300.

The price of electricity has gone up everywhere in Europe, mining is more costly than it ever has been and not even by just a little.

https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-geforce-rtx-3050-gets-first-3dmark-scores-gtx-1660ti-performance-with-dlss-raytracing 1660 Ti launched at $280 and the 3050 will be $250. So uh, i guess you are getting a little better MSRP price/frame in those 3 years? lol. Also DLSS. Not gonna count the RT cores cause they likely will never be useful. Vs the 6500 XT, its a pretty rough beat down. Significantly faster, actually has encoders/decoders, can work with PCIe 3.0 systems without dropping 10% of its performance, DLSS, and twice the ram.

Having ray tracing cores even on entry-level hardware will likely be helpful in UE5 games that use their Lumen lighting system. I think the plan there is that if a game uses Lumen, it will either use software ray tracing or hardware ray tracing, with no non-RT mode. Lumen is so efficient that software ray tracing will supposedly be doable at playable frame rates, though any RT hardware at all will make it faster. (edit: to be clear, I'm sure there will be some games with optional lighting methods for the first year or two, but what I'm saying is that UE5's built-in lighting system will not have a no-RT option as far as I'm aware) CoolCab posted:don't the rt cores do other goofy stuff sometimes too, like the voice AI filtering sorcery Those are Tensor cores, their AI processing cores.

The technology works extremely well for canceling out consistent sounds, fans at a relatively steady RPM produce a very consistent sound. If you use fan control software to change the fan speed by a significant amount all at once the sound may briefly leak through until the fan speeds settle again.

I think the plan there is that if a game uses Lumen, it will either use software ray tracing or hardware ray tracing, with no alternative lighting modes. Lumen is so efficient that software ray tracing will supposedly be doable at playable frame rates, though any RT hardware at all will make it faster. It's an image quality tradeoff too, software Lumen traces against a loose approximation of the scene rather than finding exact triangle intersections like HW RT does The SW approximation is good enough for global illumination but doesn't hold up to close scrutiny in reflections, or support any dynamically deformable meshes like characters Those early UE5 demos used SW Lumen (note the lack of reflections) and the Matrix demo used HW Lumen

Do you think that initial UE5 demo was actually running on a PS5? it looked flawless compared to the matrix demo.

Rinkles posted:Do you think that initial UE5 demo was actually running on a PS5? it looked flawless compared to the matrix demo. Yeah, I don't think they were lying about that. Digital Foundry talked a little bit about this in their hour-long breakdown of the Matrix demo, and they mentioned how much more challenging the scenes in the Matrix Awakens are to render compared to the earlier "Lumen in the Land of Nanite" demo. There's pedestrians and loads of cars (with basic AI), a robust physics system, way more reflective surfaces, a larger play area with longer lines of sight, and just more going on under the hood in general. That first demo was super simple in comparison, which allowed it to do the typical tech demo thing of looking a bit too good to be true. Most games probably won't look as good as the matrix demo either, but that level of fidelity seems more plausible. Dr. Video Games 0031 fucked around with this message at 23:37 on Jan 22, 2022 |

Plus the Matrix demo switching over to HW Lumen might have created a bottleneck that didn't exist in the earlier demos, the consoles have relatively weak RT cores after all so SW Lumen may actually be faster if the quality hit is acceptable They wanted crisp reflections in Matrix though so it had to be HW Lumen

change my name posted:DLSS + ray tracing at 1080p with lowered settings for most games should be fine I assume? It might take some tuning but that doesn't sound impossible We will have to wait and see. The 2060 was able to get 1080p/60fps in games that had DLSS and RT, but the 2060 has 50% more RT cores than the 3050 and similar clocks. 3050 only has 20 RT cores.
