About damn time. Looks much better now. Massively reduced ghosting and boiling and much more temporally stable. Awesome stuff.

The second-gen transformer model is the part worth paying attention to here. They trained it on a larger dataset with more compute, and on RTX 40/50 cards it uses FP8 precision to basically double inference throughput with minimal performance cost. The practical upside is that Performance Mode now rivals native image quality, which historically has never been the case — Ultra Performance especially has always been kind of a joke visually, and apparently that's changed.

What gives it some credibility beyond Nvidia's own claims is that ComputerBase ran a blind test with thousands of participants and DLSS 4.5 SR beat native resolution in all 6 games they tested. That's a third party result, not a GeForce promo slide.

The 6X Multi Frame Generation is RTX 50 exclusive so most people won't care yet, but the Super Resolution upgrade works on any RTX card, which is the actually relevant part for most users.

I asked Claude to write up a more meaningful first reply to this thread to show that AI slop can be better than some low effort human created reply like "AI Slop".

 

[peish]

Amazing! Huge upgrade in RT stability imo

at least they are silent about DLSS 5.0, working hard being the scenes to improve it!

[Itchy Tickles]

Looks good, but I think I'm more excited about whether or not it improves fps or lightens the usage of path tracing.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

What the fuck? This is massive. I need a deep dive on the info, right away. We need tests, the whole 9 yards!!

 

[ahtlas7]

We need to start taking away some people's civil rights.

We'll start with yours. Ha!

Anyway,

Happy to see upgrades to ray reconstruction. Aliasing has all but disappeared now. But, what about shimmering? It's still a big problem when it happens.

 

[amigastar]

Better fps also hopefully.

August? Seriously? Champagne problems I know and I'm just whining but Nvidia has gotten me (personally) used to available today in full or beta for trying out lol.

[Dirk Benedict]

Nevermind, RT was off, hah.
Edit: So, I got excited, thinking this was here, now! No. But, I did notice when I updated the DLL (310.6) in DLSSwapper, the boiling was basically gone in SH2. This news caused a Happy Accident.

I was excited to try this out and then I saw the release date. Oh well

Video is only 90s long so not worth a summary

 

[cormack12]

Fuck sake, mobile is shit. Mods can I get a title update

 

[yamaci17]

finally it's about time... it was sorely needed. dlss 4 ray reconstruction could look quite blurry at 1440p. i hope this fixes that problem

 

[3liteDragon]

Fucking finally

 

[TrebleShot]

But of a confusing update so this is two things.

1. 4.5 Transformer model RR
2. 4.5 Transformer V2 ?

 

[pqueue]

baked in lighting looks better.
and plays better.

Bro.. while I agree.. they're fucking us so bad.. it's like.. damn. We need to start looking out for ourselves.

 

[Laptop1991]

If it works well and does improve visuals, then yeah, all for it.

 

[Moses85]

Also for Switch 2?

We can't seem to take care of ourselves, just check out the graphics thread. We claim to hate Nvidia, the one company that pushes the medium forward, yet obsess over the texture and lighting of every single rock and washing machine.

In a better place, Microsoft used to be the driving engine of 3D technology with Direct-X with a level playing field but then whatever the heck happened to MS they just slowed down in the 2010s, look at the pace of Direct-X versions like 11/12 that have been around for a long time.

Nvidia took over and began aggressively pushing its own stuff resulting in a near monopoly of the PC GPU market.

 

[nemiroff]

August...? I might be run over by a bus by that time. Please give it to me now.

 

[Mozza]

Hopefully as DLSS and Unreal engine versions evolve, all formats should benefit a little.

Are you the brave, green, and adventurous frog who stars in the classic arcade game Frogger?

 

[Zathalus]

Almost certainly not. Performance hit will be too high. Looks like it leverages FP8 and Ampere doesn't support that.

SW2 is too weak to run even full DLSS3 in many games. Even big ampere GPUs are slow for DLSS 4.5, so no chance for that.

DLSS 4.5 seems sweet but I wonder how big performance impact will be.

MS fucked up. But we are where we are. Its choosing between two villians. We got the good guy turned genocidal. And the psychopath turn docile. They both suck. But literally they are the only others to innovate while AMD sits there twiddling their balls. And Intel just lives in a grave.

 

[Vick]

Looks like a massive improvement judging from those clips.

The short Cyberpunk clip at the start shows it's still the best looking game around imo. And now even better.

 

[Luipadre]

It can be used with other DLSS presets right? 4.5 is not good for 1440p.

 

[YeulEmeralda]

Even in his spare time Jensen keeps killing AMD.

 

[winjer]

Also for Switch 2?

The switch 2 can barely use the normal DLSS3, often having to use the stripped down DLSS version.
Don't expect it to use DLSS4, and much less DLSS4.5 with even more FP8 instructions. And even less, doing upscaling and RR at the same time. I's just too underpowered for all that.

 

[RaZoR No1]

Does this fix the graphics glitches/bugs I have on FH6, where the shadows etc. are sometimes pixelated very strangely? (looks fuzzy/ like glitter).

Game (currently) doesn't support ray reconstruction. Even DLSS4.0 version would most likely fix that.

 

[T4keD0wN]

I would have been fine with just the upscaling part of RR being updated, but its both, dope.

Sucks having to wait so long tho.

 

[Diddy X]

But I thought they had abandoned gaming?

 

[yamaci17]

ray reconstruction has no relevancy to regular DLSS presets. it is its own thing and has its own presets and upscaling logic

if you don't like regular DLSS 4.5 for 1440p chances are you won't like this either

Why? If i can use the new one with DLSS4 then its all good.

DLL RR is combined with SR. Right now even if you select in game 4.5 (like in Crimson Desert) when you turn on RR it will switch to 4.0 for SR+RR (same story for older 3.5 RR).

 

[DenchDeckard]

Loo,kng forward to trying this out. Pathtracing is the real next gen push. I hope the next consoles can handle it well.
