Man who is heavily funded by AI research and use continues pushing that AI is necessary.
So I can pay $1 for a game and you can infer the other $32?
We certainly can. NVIDIA’s CEO realizes that the next buzzword that sells their cards (8K, 240hz, RTX++) isn’t going to run at good framerates without it.
That’s not to say AI doesn’t have its place in graphics, but it’s definitely a crutch for extremely high-end rendering performance (see RT) and a nice performance and quality gain for weaker (hopefully cheaper) graphics cards which support it.
As a gamer and developer I sort of fear AI taking the charm away from rendered games as DLSS/FSR embeds itself in games. I don’t want to see a race to the bottom in terms of internal, pre-DLSS resolution.
oh boy, back to 160p but with ai upscaling
sounds like another ultra wealthy guy getting old and losing it.
“im a fucking idiot and i want to put “Ai” on products to appeal to “new markets” because im greedy”
“we can’t draw pixels anymore without making graphics cards stupidly expensive because of Reasons ™”
Fify
Where “Reasons” = “Profit,” probably.
I mean we could do things like Arkham Knight, Flight Simulator, The Last of Us 2 and so on. Do we really need to do everything realtime or could we continue baking GI?
Why not just make the first pixel bigger?
Man really wants that AI hype money.
Maybe I don’t know enough about computer graphics, but in what world would you have/want to display a group of 33 pixels (one computed, 32 inferred)?!
Are we inferring 5 to the left and right and the row above and below in weird 3 x 11 strips?
I would assume that they are saying in a bigger scope and just happen to divide down to a ratio of 1 to 32.
Like rendering in 480p (307k pixels) and then generating 4k (8.3M pixels). Which results in like 1:27, sorta close enough to what he’s saying. The AI upscale like dlss and fsr are doing just that at less extreme upscale.
Perhaps, we should be more concerned with maintaining and keeping relevant current hardware, over constant production of more powerful hardware just for the sake of doing it. We’ve hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of the value we’re actually being given by each new generation. Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.
Even the PS4 and Xbox One were able to produce gorgeous graphics.
But not always (or even usually IMO) at decent frame rates. I get major motion sickness and nauseous if a game doesn’t run near 60fps constantly, it’s really unfortunate.
Which is really less because of the consoles themselves and more because of the priorities of AAA game studios
