THE Personal Computer Thread 2023

DLSS 3 builds on the company's lead in AI-accelerated super-resolution techniques to deliver outstanding image quality and up to 4x the performance of brute-force rendering, plus the quick responsiveness that defines a comprehensive gaming experience.

The technology debuted today during the GeForce® Beyond: Special Broadcast at GTC, which also introduced GeForce RTX® 40 Series GPUs based on the new NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture.

"DLSS is one of our best inventions and has made real-time ray tracing possible. DLSS 3 is another quantum leap for gamers and creators," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA. "Our pioneering work in RTX neural rendering has opened a new universe of possibilities where AI plays a central role in the creation of virtual worlds."

DLSS 3 is already receiving widespread support from the gaming ecosystem, with over 35 games and applications integrating the technology.

DLSS 3: The Performance Multiplier, Powered by AI
The combination of ray tracing and AI technologies has revolutionized video games by simultaneously delivering dramatic improvements in image quality along with massive uplifts in performance — a feat unheard of before GeForce RTX.

Powered by new fourth-generation Tensor Cores and a new Optical Flow Accelerator on GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs, DLSS 3 is the latest iteration of the company's critically acclaimed Deep Learning Super Sampling technology and introduces a new capability called Optical Multi Frame Generation.

Optical Multi Frame Generation generates entirely new frames, rather than just pixels, delivering astounding performance boosts. The new Optical Flow Accelerator incorporated into the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture analyzes two sequential in-game images and calculates motion vector data for objects and elements that appear in the frame, but are not modeled by traditional game engine motion vectors. This dramatically reduces visual anomalies when AI renders elements such as particles, reflections, shadows and lighting.

Pairs of super-resolution frames from the game, along with both engine and optical flow motion vectors, are then fed into a convolutional neural network that analyzes the data and automatically generates an additional frame for each game-rendered frame — a first for real-time game rendering. Combining the DLSS-generated frames with the DLSS super-resolution frames enables DLSS 3 to reconstruct seven-eighths of the displayed pixels with AI, boosting frame rates by up to 4x compared to without DLSS.

Because DLSS Frame Generation executes as a post-process on the GPU, it can boost frame rates even when the game is bottlenecked by the CPU. For CPU-limited games, such as those that are physics heavy or involve large worlds, DLSS 3 allows the GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs to render the game at up to twice the frame rate that the CPU is able to compute the game.

DLSS 3 integrations also incorporate NVIDIA Reflex, which synchronizes the GPU and CPU, ensuring optimum responsiveness and low system latency.

Game Developers Embrace DLSS 3, Over 35 Games, Applications Coming Soon
The revolutionary power of DLSS 3 is a boon for game developers who want to express their artistic vision. The technology is coming to the world's most popular game engines, such as Unity and Unreal Engine.

CD PROJEKT RED are also upgrading Cyberpunk 2077 with a new Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode that uses the power of GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards to take the game's incredible visuals to new heights.

Cyberpunk 2077's neon-illuminated environments are key to its aesthetic, and with the new Ray Tracing: Overdrive Mode their level of detail is taken to the next level:

- NVIDIA RTX Direct Illumination (RTXDI) gives each neon sign, street lamp, car headlight, LED billboard and TV accurate ray-traced lighting and shadows, bathing objects, walls, passing cars and pedestrians in accurate colored lighting
- Ray-traced indirect lighting and reflections now bounce multiple times, compared to the previous solution's single bounce. The result is even more accurate, realistic and immersive global illumination, reflections, and self-reflections
- Ray-traced reflections are now rendered at full resolution, further improving their quality
- Improved, more physically-based lighting removes the need for any other occlusion techniques

By reilo Go To PostThe 4090 is nearly double the price of the 4080 because it's double the performance

right?

right?

anyone?

By Laboured Go To PostThat's quite a big if though. I strongly suspect they'd not be vaunting it to this degree were it a slightly better version of that. We'll find out soon I guess.

DLSS 3 allows the GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs to render the game at up to twice the frame rate that the CPU is able to compute the game.

By Laboured Go To PostI'm gunna say no on that.

By Smokey Go To PostThe 12GB 4080 is where the real outrage should be.

By Smokey Go To PostGotta say it’s amusing to see Apple Reilo in here complaining about Nvidia basically using the same playbook 😭

By reilo Go To PostThose are worse than Apple keynote graphs wtf

By HonestVapes Go To PostI’m curious to see how DLSS3 pans out. I can’t see it just being higher frame rate through motion interpolation with no benefits to input lag.
They push Nvidia Reflex and ULL far to much to gloss over such an important aspect of higher frame rates.

By Adam Go To PostLmao…

I'm still rocking my 2080 Ti…

By Smokey Go To PostCP2077 at max settings + Psycho RT = 4k120+ in that DF vid

By Kibner Go To PostThey said in their press release that it doesn't help the cpu process more frames which means that it can't improve input responsiveness because that is purely a cpu thing.

E: assuming DLSS3 doesn't offer anything beyond that touted feature, anyway

DLSS 3 also incorporates NVIDIA Reflex, which synchronizes the GPU and CPU, ensuring optimum responsiveness and low system latency. Lower system latency makes game controls more responsive, and ensures on-screen actions occur almost instantaneously once you click your mouse or other control input. When compared to native, DLSS 3 can reduce latency by up to 2X.

By Laboured Go To PostAnd to think that Terrorist Kibner tried to convince to turn down some settings and play it on my weak and lowly 3080ti!

By HonestVapes Go To PostI played it maxed out on a 2080Ti with DLSS on the auto setting. At 30-40FPS

By Adam Go To PostFaux K or 1440?

By HonestVapes Go To Posthttps://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/news/dlss3-ai-powered-neural-graphics-innovations/

By Kibner Go To PostColor me skeptical.

By HonestVapes Go To PostI believe you'll get an adapter in the box just like with the 30 series FE cards.

By Zabojnik Go To Post*Meshlicious sweating*

By inky Go To Postnothing a dremel tool can't solve, right zabo?
