          People just need to be patient and ensure the scumbag scalpers can't run up the price. I feel like folks who managed to skip out on the 40 Series cards should be smiling right now.

        yah when the leaks about Neural Rendering came out a few months back I got the feeling they were basically doubling down on AI Frame Generation... The video they put out on DLSS4 goes into more detail btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQn3bsPNTyI

        It sounds like if you enable 4x FG mode essentially ~90% of the image your seeing is AI Rendered. I'm not sure if I like this trajectory things seem to be headed with just let AI render the image. I'll be curious to see if there is any significant performance uplift for rasterized performance for this gen. Or is the focus completely on just AI & DLSS stuff.

          January 6, 2025 9:29 PM

          oh yea the reflex thing is cool though. i was wondering where i heard of framewarp tech, it was from all the VR stuff that john carmack did with oculus. time warp, frame warp, whatever. basically rendering frames based on the player input. should be nice

        • reply
          January 6, 2025 9:33 PM

          Yeah I just can't trust their graphs about relative performance increases since they use the new dlss for comparison.

          I have rarely used FG but when I tried it with Indy for example (w/ PT) the lag was just too much for me.

          • reply
            January 6, 2025 9:48 PM

            they're saying 2X performance over 4090 with DLSS 4 and 75% less latency with Reflex 2. It's basically all about AI rendering now and less about raster.

          • reply
            January 6, 2025 10:39 PM

            Yeah I'm so curious to see how latency is being addressed, because the most surprising part of the presentation for me was the improvements in Reflex

          January 7, 2025 8:51 AM

          multiple frame generation seems very sensible and i suspect will actually reduce the amount of artifacts vs existing single frame generation.

      • reply
        January 6, 2025 10:38 PM

        Per pixel rendering for full RT at 4K at high frame rate just isn't going to happen with brute force. Efficient tensor cores rather than CUDA cores is the way with all of this stuff enabled.

        • reply
          January 6, 2025 11:29 PM

          yeah. I suppose the field of graphics has always had interesting strategies to solve rendering. this is just another innovative shift in the history books

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 2:35 AM

            I wonder what the power demands to brute force similar performance would be, it would be pretty crazy

              I mean the 4090 does Cyberpunk 4K path tracing at like 15fps IIRC - it would require a ridiculously huge GPU to do it native.

              • reply
                January 7, 2025 12:23 PM

                I just ran it 4K, HDR, DLAA with Path Tracing (every other setting to high or ultra) and it is 23 FPS average on the built in benchmark. Turning on Frame Gen takes it to 40 FPS.

      • reply
        January 7, 2025 12:03 PM

        Honestly I normally turn it off on my 4090 because it is noticeable. Moving from 1 to 3 frames seems like it would just add lag.

        • reply
          January 7, 2025 12:18 PM

          latency should in principle be similar to existing frame generation if they are just interpolating between two conventionally rendered frames

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 12:20 PM

            as long as it still only holds back one frame, the latency hit will be negligible. plus new reflex to go along with it.

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 12:24 PM

            Yeah but it also adds artifacts. For example in my Cyberpunk run I just did if Frame Gen is enabled the green see through glass bottles on the table get all wiggy and jump around and aren't rendered correctly.

        January 7, 2025 12:30 PM

        My problem with it is philosophical. Rendered worlds are already make-believe, and now we're no longer even looking at that; we're looking at a fake version of a fictional view.

          January 7, 2025 12:40 PM

          it's just more of the same, as far as i'm concerned. it was never real, now it's a tiny bit less real.

            January 7, 2025 12:44 PM

            I prefer rendering the unreal "honestly" at least, being true to the world that the engine is depicting. All this AI nonsense not only looks like shit, but it's heretical filth that deserves to burn in the sulphurous flames of Abaddon forever.

                January 7, 2025 12:49 PM

                I don't. I think of them as I do of novels: an artist's depiction of ideas. DLSS/frame gen is like having ChatGPT pore over a book and change formulations while trying to stay true to the original. No thanks; I'll stick with the artist's vision.

                  January 7, 2025 12:51 PM

                  in that example i would consider frame generation more the editor.

                  i'm sure there's someone out there that only reads raw drafts and thinks by the time it gets printed the original intent has been bastardized.

        • reply
          January 7, 2025 12:43 PM

          philosophically computer rendering has always been fake compared to real life. it has never been a remotely accurate representation of how reality works.

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 12:46 PM

            At least traditional rendering shows us everything as-is. If I'm watching a zombie in Resident Evil with DLSS/frame gen off, I'm looking at exactly what the engine is displaying on my screen, not some algorithm's interpretation of its features and movement. And since I have a 4090 and might shell out for a 5090, I'm hoping to keep it that way.

            • reply
              January 7, 2025 12:53 PM

              both scenarios are just deterministic algorithms running on a computer that have been implemented by humans/artists/creators with the assistance of computer tools. if the engine implements frame interpolation then that *is* the engine, not some tertiary attachment that isn't properly part of it.

              • reply
                January 7, 2025 12:54 PM

                is frame-gen actually deterministic?

                • reply
                  January 7, 2025 12:59 PM

                  the *programs* themselves are surely deterministic in that they are running on deterministic turing machines (GPUs, CPUs). scheduling of execution GPUs and CPUs can be somewhat unpredictable and depending on how the the program is implemented it can impact outputs.

        Interesting, it's a bit smaller than my 4080 FE. I have a small'ish case, I was assuming this wouldn't fit but now that it does....

        • reply
          January 6, 2025 10:23 PM

          4080 and 4090 FE are the same size, aka gigantic. I just took mine out a few days ago and was startled once again by how huge it is.

        • reply
          January 7, 2025 2:33 AM

          5080 and 5090 aren't much larger than a 3080 FE or 4070 Super. It is slightly taller but by only about 2cm. Small card for what it is, and much much smaller than the 4080 FE

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 2:34 AM

            5070 FE is even smaller than 4070 Super FE, almost 3cm shorter than an already small card. So cool

        Being able to put a 5090 into my sub-10L SFF case without putting water cooling on the CPU side is crazy

          January 7, 2025 9:32 AM

          Definitely. I had a dual slot 2080 ti that was simply inadequate imo. Granted the FE design now is much better than that card but the 5090 also pulls way more power. We'll see I guess.

          • reply
            January 7, 2025 9:53 AM

            The 4090 designs and cooling has been way better even with air, so I'd be certain even with an increased power draw the 5090s might be just as good.

            I have a water-cooled 4090 and it's probably overkill tbh lol

          January 7, 2025 11:18 AM

          The exploded heatsink and PCB design shows how. A tiny PCB with components on both sides and ten total heatpipes allows air to flow through the cooling system. It looks really smart. Also note that Lovelace was very cool and efficient, I expect similar here.

      Quite a gap between the 5080 and 5090, got to put the dies that don't make the cut for a 5090 in something. Wonder how long it'll be before they announce a 5080 ti/super with 24gb ram.
