Looks like some of that Sony and Microsoft money might finally be going to improving FSR’s upscaling:

Because you chose to respond to them and not the other way around. Because your post crossed the line that made me think "hey I should say something here" and theirs didn't. It was just a note and an ask, not a reprimand. No offense meant by it.

Dragon's Dogma 2 on console will only have a uncapped 30 fps target mode

It'll be interesting to see whether console games trend in this direction for the rest of the generation

Dr. Video Games 0031
Jul 17, 2004

And i saw someone say that the journalist demo largely hovered around that 30 fps target. I'm guessing the open world in DD2 is pushing the otherwise well-optimized RE engine to its limits, and the bad performance is probably due to a CPU bottleneck. And when there's a CPU bottleneck on consoles, that usually means PC players with older midrange CPUs are in for a rough time.

edit: this also sucks for PS5 players since VRR only goes down to 48hz there. they have to deal with both low frame rates and lovely frame pacing.

I don't know if this is the right thread for this but I can't find a more fitting one and I need to rant about it.

I installed the new NVIDIA control panel replacement and one of the new features that they were advertising was "RTX Dynamic Vibrance is an AI-powered Freestyle filter that improves upon the beloved Digital Vibrance feature in the NVIDIA Control Panel. RTX Dynamic Vibrance enhances visual clarity on a per app basis, providing players with a flexible and convenient way to tune their visual settings for each game. Colors pop more on screen, with perfect balance to minimize color crushing, preserving image quality and immersion."

So I tried it out and this is the result.
No filter:

RTX Dynamic Vibrance on with default settings:

Turned down to 20% and with extra saturation down to 0% for most generous comparison:


What the gently caress is that thing supposed to be even? I'm completely baffled at why this poo poo needs to be "AI-powered" to completely wash out the color palette for absolutely no improvement.

Features like RTX Super Resolution at least offer some kind of improvements that have at least some niche uses but this new filter is totally baffling to me.

RTX HDR is for games that don’t already have HDR support, why would you use it on BG3 that does?

The vibrance feature is not the same as nvidia's auto-HDR.

it's weird that nvidia say that vibrance improves clarity in games; it really doesn't, and so much so that there are two distinct vibrance and clarity shaders in reshade. (the clarity shader is awesome, and i often enable it when i'm using reshade)

it can improve clarity if you have colour blindness, but it's bit misleading for them to state otherwise

Digital vibrance is something competitive gamer types use for visibility, primarily in first person shooters, you don't want it for playing BG3.

kliras

it's interesting to see that nvidia's fancy filter applies the effect to interfaces; i'd assume you'd generally want to only apply something like a vibrance effect to the game itself rather than the ui, which is one of the typical headaches of postprocessing shaders

BG3's HDR is kind of bad (for some reason it puts every character in heavy shadow when you talk to them even if they have a light source strapped to their back), I wouldn't mind if third-party tools do a better/different job

After going to my first Microcenter and drooling at their stock of GPUs I didn't know there was a 4090 variant that's "slim" has anyone got one, noticed a significant difference in temp or noise? Would they be a viable candidate for a smaller form factor?

Hey I noticed that OBS doesn't have AV1 or even HEVC available in the settings for my RTX 4080, just h.264. Is that because I'm using NVCleanstall to install the bare minimum drivers? Or do I need some other codec pack?
