because the only reason they still make consumer gpus is for consoles and those need to be cheap which means they have to make concessions and rtx is what they've chosen to leave out up till now

>why does AMD suck at this?
It's simply the financial & talent disparity. NVIDIA has the cash & perks to attract the best talent in the business.
NVIDIA's gaming division alone can generate more revenue than AMD's client (Ryzen, Threadripper, Radeon Pro) & gaming (Radeon dGPU + console SoC) sales.
So NVIDIA has a lot more cash to burn to develop new graphics rendering tech that everyone else "needs" to catch up.
If the others can't provide feature and performance parity, they need to sell their gaming products at a discount, which is happening right now.
AMD and Intel can't keep slashing prices because their GPUs are made out of costly TSMC wafers, and they need the income to keep up with R&D.

AMD's gaming division is developing new graphics features with Sony & Microsoft because tech like upscaling and frame generation allows these clients to order cheaper console SoCs.

Accelerating RT requires hardware that takes physical space on the gpu die

9070 xt has vastly improved RT perf from previous gens as they basically doubled the die investment.
Nvidia started this trend many years earlier and have more mature rt architecture that performs better in PT since they designed many gens of chips to do it by now.
AMD is fine for rt games, but nvidia is ahead in Path tracing perf so if you want to play cp with max settings you need modern nvidia gpu.

Rt isn't important, once graphics cards settle on "acceptable" then the difference won't be a problem between amd and nvidia. Its mainly used to make the developers lives easier. There's a reason nvidia is working with generative ai in dlss5. (They know their lead in raytracing will end with diminishing returns) same reason why they started using ray reconstruction.

>>108417899

You cannot afford a "fucking" NVIDIA RTX 6000 (specifically the Ada Generation or Blackwell Pro 6000) because it is not a consumer gaming card; it is a professional workstation tool priced at a premium that reflects enterprise-level hardware, currently retailing between $7,500 and over $10,000.
Reddit
Reddit
+4
Here is why that card is out of reach for most people:
It’s a Professional, Not a Consumer, Product: The RTX 6000 is designed for AI development, data center training, and high-end workstation rendering, not playing video games. It is geared toward businesses that use the card to generate revenue, allowing NVIDIA to charge a massive premium.
Insane Manufacturing Costs: These cards are equipped with specialized features like 96GB of GDDR7 memory, requiring high-end components that are in short supply due to the AI race.
The AI Boom & Memory Shortage: Global demand for AI hardware has caused a surge in VRAM prices, making high-end GPUs significantly more expensive.
Diminishing Returns for Gaming: Even if you bought one, it is only roughly 15% faster than a high-end consumer card like an RTX 5090 in gaming, making it an entirely impractical purchase for entertainment.
High "Entry" Costs: It is often sold as part of professional workstations or in bulk, with single units often being sold at inflated retail rates, with some models priced over $10k.

In short: It’s priced like a car because it is designed to be a business workhorse, not a toy.

Well at least he's not a giant pussy like digital foundry, and I doubt it will work well even on a 50 series. DLSS 5 is definitely future facing.

>>108420990
The bottleneck is probably vram, which is why the super series was going to have a 24gb 5080 super. A single 5090 and probably 16gb cards will run it no issue when the model is optimized in size.

>>108421008
3090 doesn't support fp 4 so either expect the 30 series to not support this at all or to get a performance hit similar to dlss 4.5

>>108421012
Oh I was under the impression you needed two GPU.

>>108421030
They likely needed two 5090s because the model in dlss 5 is not optimized current gpu vram sizes

>>108421032
I was just wondering if you could use a 5090/3090 combo since I have both. It probably won't even work well with two 5090s at this point.

>>108421038
I don't think they're going to let you run two GPUs for DLSS 5 and I doubt it would make a difference once the model is optimized.

>>108420440
Yes but then are those cracked cards caused by of a lack of support? What I'm trying to get at is whether the 50 series is less vulnerable to sagging damage in the opposite direction when one or more supports are used, which older cards seem to struggle with. In the previous thread there was a 2024 video about this problem with the 4080.

I think the real factor in whether someone looks forward to DLSS 5 or not is whether they consoom content that would be filled with AI generated images or video on the regular. I do not find the DLSS 5 output tushy triggering because I don't look for "AI slop" to begin with, and it looks just like touched up people to me, subject to further refinement by the fall. The mirror is truly recommended for this topic.

>cracked cards caused by of a lack of support
I would have to guess (because the videos are just about the repairs) that the motherboards are vertical, with the gpu sticking out, held by a screw at one end, and just the socket at the other.

I wouldn't expect the 50-series to be any more or less prone than earlier series.
If the card's heavy, try to reduce the pressure felt by the edge connector.

>i like dlss 5 because i don't look at anything on the internet
Okay that's a take but it's a stupid one. Whatever model they're using to "enhance" lighting per frame makes models look the exact same as the AI slop ads you see on youtube and twitter.

Literally all Nvidia has to do is train a model that's not some generic shit we see every day and honors the frame a bit more than it is right now

I'm here. I just don't scroll TikTok nor is my front page of Youtube filled with any such thing. it simply doesn't exist to me and it only exists to others because of content consumption behavior that I look down upon. They have got more AI compute available to the company than entire countries do so I do not doubt that they can improve this by launchtime.

compared to this. it's literally a massive improvement

the bizarre negativity around dlss 5 is dominated by irrelevant shit about external problems people have that arent about playing videogames
its not special to say "yeah Id play a game with dlss 5" because the other side is talking about ram prices or ethics in video game post processing. its different groups talking about different topics

>>108421124
I think so as well. I was actually surprised at the amount of howling retards over a tech demo. My concern is the version we get will definitely be worse. That's when you make fun of it.

>>108421081
I'm with you actually, I don't even know where such strong opinions about "yassified" twitter slop and youtube ads even come from. if everyone too dumb to use an adblocker was somehow cordoned off into their own tard pen websites that would be great.

>>108420960
It's all PhysX's fault. Proprietary features are the primordial sin. Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden because they tried inventing vendor-specific graphics APIs.

I will be surprised if the consistency of dlss 5 is good with movement

>>108421155
Also the latency added for this has to not be shit

I really hope developers start using this just for hair

>>108421219
Vendor lockout if the vendor doesn't update their DirectX. If a GPU supports DX12 then it should be able to boot all DX12 games even if the feature level isn't up to code. This is how Alan Wake 2 still boots on Pascal cards despite it basically requiring mesh shaders.

Final Fantasy games are one of the few that will look objectively better with dlss 5. Everyone is supposed to be a model in those games. They've never quite reached the graphical fidelity of their cutscene models either.

bad call depending on how long you're gonna hold onto it, if you onsell or trade in pc components every ~2-3 years it doesnt matter, but if you buy components and milk them for all they're worth, its always better to get the highest tier you can afford.,

You might be right, but it isn’t about money. I just need a good card to maintain 1440p gaming for the next 4–5 years. Things are looking bad with the war, so in a sense, it’s just an upgrade for the sake of upgrading. It probably sounds retarded but whatever.

is this because of spaghetti coding and trying to use your iGPU instead? I got an error pop-up when launching New World about the GPU being too weak, but it was showing me my 7800X3D iGPU instead of my RTX 4070. it still launched but it was weird.

you can enable dlss without enabling all the lighting and frame hallucination stuff, but you can't enable the features without also enabling dlss. they're just showcasing this very strangely, instead of calling it a feature of dlss 5 they're making it seem like it is dlss 5.

Why is super sampling changing the lighting or textures at all? It's supposed to make them sharper not alter the color or materials. That's getting into the realm of 3Dmark 2003 benchmark cheating.

Alrighty, then. Newegg can officially go fuck themselves. They themselves are the scalpers at this point. They run uncontested in the field of hardware sales, so they just set whatever prices and people pay them because there is no competition. Find something for MSRP on their website? ORDER CANCELLED.

>>108420051

>>108422447
They say that its correcting the lighting based on actual light sources not approximation. Things look very different if the original wasn't properly baked. That or it's just a bunch of bull shit. We'll know later this year.

Every now and then Newegg will toss out 12 pieces of MSRP corn for all the little consumer piggies. But they themselves bot up that corn. And then they smile down and are like, "Looks like your only option is to pay 175% MSRP, fucking retard."

True, but they also perform as well or better than Noctuas when capped at 70%.
It's a little harder to evaluate all the fans across their whole range of speeds, but yeah, would be nice if they could all be evaluated at 10% increments. I think almost all consumers, probably including me, would find that information too annoying to compare between different fans though.
