i dont think DLSS is going anywhere. shite, AMD is trying to get their own version off the ground. I think it's the future of gaming, it's the only way 8K will ever be viable.

DLSS not the tech. It will merge into the AMD/Microsoft open source version that devs support.

Nvidia has a bad problem with trying to make everything closed source like say Apple, but then they get forced to support the open standard like with G Sync when support dries up.

Yeah, DLSS tech is the future, not DLSS itself. There is an open standard that will be mainstream and on consoles built into DirectX for ML, ray tracing and other things as well baked right into Windows.

"In a recent disclosure regarding their Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S system, Microsoft confirmed that both of their next-generation consoles would support Machine learning for games with DirectML. Through their collaboration with AMD when creating their new consoles, AMD has a chance to replace DLSS with an alternative which will apply to gamers on both PC and Xbox, giving developers little reason to support DLSS over DirectML Super Resolution."

Through close collaboration and partnership between Xbox and AMD, not only have we delivered on this promise, we have gone even further introducing additional next-generation innovation such as hardware accelerated Machine Learning capabilities for better NPC intelligence, more lifelike animation, and improved visual quality via techniques such as ML powered super resolution.

Big win for Xbox going forward too assuming it never comes to PS5, surely it will.



Now we just need to get you off of Apple.

A lot of the VR stuff I am using already has DLSS, but I’m sure the standard will win and is definitely the future. However I will have DLSS now and something to actually use it in now. 3090 isn’t gonna last me long as I update often, so that isn’t a big deal to me to go DLSS now to make use of it.

Won’t ever happen with me, family on apple and I prefer. Plus it has much better support on apps for work. Android seems like a second class citizen and they don’t really give a shite about updating them.

I was talking to Carson but I guess you too, nasty frickers.

Back when I had my Note 10 it came bundled with a ton of work apps and the whole MS office suite but I don't use that stuff or the Dex and Microsoft/Windows Android integration.

---

Yeah I kinda butted in, on that one

It’s not common work related apps like that. It’s more specific to work field type stuff.

I see. I personally can't stand Apple or their products, made the switch around the 6 and was like wow yeah okay I'm never going back. Then Jobs died and Apple quit inventing and just pump out the same thing now over and over to their sheep.

Idk how anyone could be super into tech and like an iPhone.

Cyberpunk has Ray Tracing for AMD after all per Nvidia.

“Cyberpunk 2077 uses the industry standard DirectX Ray Tracing API. It will work on any DXR-compatible GPU. Nothing related to Cyberpunk 2077 ray tracing is proprietary to NVIDIA.”

Uses the same API I was talking about with Machine Learning.

ETA: I posted this on Reddit and got gilded for first time and it was #1 thread on PC gaming

And as you said yesterday, some are just sheep.

Meh... almost all of my family is on an iPhone. I was on Android previously, but I switched from a Moto G5 Plus to an iPhone 8.

I'm not a "power user" by any means, to me its just a Phone. And I've been fine with that. Its just easier to communicate , especially with this pandemic, to use the same eco-system with family and friends.

Asus expects 6800 series to be sold out in minutes

Hopefully I can get one or I'll wait and go for a 6900XT which is supposed to have more stock than 6800 series.

That's a good deal.

Still an iPhone in a closed source bad ecosystem from Apple with little advancement in technology or design for like 5+ years now though. I think that is why you don't see many techies with iPhones anymore.
