Nvidia is bringing ray tracing and DLSS 3 to your car

Tesla I know it sounds crazy, but a new MediaTek chip powered by Nvidia graphics promises to bring AAA gaming, ray tracing, and the coveted DLSS 3 to your car. The chips I’m talking about are MediaTek’s new Dimensity Auto Cockpit, which integrated an Nvidia GPU, along with a host of AI and gaming capabilities. It’s not clear what Nvidia graphics are packed on MediaTek’s chips, but clearly, they’re using some variation of the Ada Lovelace architecture we see on RTX 40-series GPUs. Those are the only GPUs that support…

How to properly use Nvidia’s DLSS to improve PC gaming

Nvidia’s Deep Learning Super Sampling, or DLSS, has become a cornerstone feature of modern PC games. It started as a way to boost your performance by rendering a game at a lower resolution, but the prominence and popularity of DLSS have prompted Nvidia to add even more features under the name. Today, DLSS incorporates several different features, all of which leverage AI to boost performance and/or image quality. It can be intimidating if you’re a new RTX user, so I’m here to break down all of the increases of DLSS in…

Star Wars Outlaws will support DLSS 3 when it launches this year

Ubisoft Nvidia revealed in a blog post that Ubisoft’s Star Wars Outlaws will be on GeForce Now and use some of its proprietary technology when it launches sometime this year. Specifically, Star Wars Outlaws will support DLSS 3 and RTX Direct Illumination to improve the game’s visuals with ray traced global illumination lighting and effects. The announcement of these visual enhancements for PC and GeForce Now players is the first official update we’ve gotten on Star Wars Outlaws in a while. Ubisoft unveiled the game…

How to Get Better Framerates for PC Gaming

Many of us grew up in the age when playing PC games at their highest settings required a hefty rig. For laptop users who weren’t willing to shell out thousands of dollars for a gaming-capable portable device, it always felt like you were being lapped by those with the space and deep pockets to afford the latest CPU and GPU. However, nowadays, even modest gaming PCs and laptops can play a fair number of recent titles. AI upscaling tech from AMD, Nvidia, and Intel is a big reason for this.An AI That Helps You Get a Job? |…

AMD finally has a strategy to beat Nvidia’s DLSS

AMD AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) has had an uphill climb so far, but things might get better in 2024. According to a statement from the company’s chief technology officer, this year will be a big one for AMD in terms of AI — and this doesn’t just mean large-scale AI, but also upscaling. Are we going to see some major changes in AMD’s next-gen RDNA 4 graphics cards? The tantalizing bit of information comes from Mark Papermaster, AMD CTO, who was a guest on the No Priors Podcast. At the very end of the…

Understanding Nvidia’s advanced AI technology

One of the benefits of choosing an Nvidia graphics card is DLSS or Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS). DLSS has revolutionised the gaming and graphics landscape, providing an innovative solution to enhance visual fidelity while maintaining optimal performance. In this comprehensive guide, we delve into the intricacies of DLSS, exploring its workings, benefits, and the impact it has had on the gaming industry.How does DLSS workDLSS, short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, is an advanced anti-aliasing technology developed…

What is FidelityFX Super Resolution: Understanding AMD’s upscaling technology

When it comes to enhancing gaming visuals and performance, two technologies have been making waves in the gaming industry: DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) and FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution). DLSS, developed by Nvidia, and FSR, developed by AMD, both aim to improve gaming experiences by employing different approaches.DLSS utilises deep learning algorithms to upscale lower resolution images to higher resolutions, resulting in smoother gameplay and improved image quality. On the other hand, FSR focuses on enhancing…

Helldivers 2 CEO says DLSS is not necessary, and he’s right

The CEO for Arrowhead Games, developer of Helldivers 2, caught some flak for a controversial take on nowhere else than X (formerly Twitter), saying that Nvidia’s DLSS is “cool tech, but not necessary.” The lack of branded upscaling tools in Helldivers 2 is strange, especially given the fact that the title has quickly become “one of the most entertaining co-op games” of the year, as you can read about in our Helldivers 2 review. Thankfully, Helldivers 2 doesn’t need DLSS. So hard… to not take bait… 🤣 Ok, I'll…

Intel is cooking up an exciting DLSS 3 rival

Jacob Roach / Digital Trends Intel is working on a rival to Nvidia’s DLSS 3. Intel and researchers from the University of California published a paper detailing the tech, currently dubbed ExtraSS, at Siggraph Asia 2023 (spotted by Wccftech). It accomplishes the same goal as DLSS 3 by generating new frames to improve performance. Unlike DLSS 3, however, ExtraSS uses frame extrapolation, not frame interpolation. That latter method is how DLSS 3 (and AMD’s FSR 3) works. It takes two sequential frames and compares them…

The best (and worst) examples of Nvidia RTX in PC gaming

Nvidia just passed a huge milestone with RTX. The feature set is now available in over 500 games or apps, which is a massive accomplishment considering how big of a controversy the RTX platform was when Nvidia introduced it five years ago. We’ve come a long way since Battlefield V and Quake 2 RTX, so it’s a good chance to look back. There are over 500 games and apps with RTX features now, and that breaks down like this: 366 games with DLSS, 138 games with ray tracing, and 7 games with path tracing. In addition, there…
