Maybe I’m the one out of my depth, but my understanding is that the objection is not to DLSS overall, but the specific implementation of DLSS 5 and it’s AI-driven focus. I am not claiming nobody is asking for DLSS, I’m claiming nobody is asking for the AI-driven focus of the upcoming iteration.

Because, going back to the original metaphor, nobody asked for cinnamon in the first place, so any amount wasted on it is stupid.

But this specific iteration of DLSS is deeply wrapped up in the AI hype machine which is directly related to the datacenter buildout. The reason 5 has been a hot button topic centers around that AI upscaling showcase which only exists because NVidia is deeply invested in AI. This is what I mean that nothing in is a vacuum.

Nothing exists in a vacuum; those impacts are real even if indirect.

Astute, I think you’re right.

Because the cost of having that option has somehow both made the steak more expensive and the equipment to cook it more scarce.

Load-bearing if there, but yeah that’s a good point, thank you.

No, it’s like ordering a steak at a restaurant and then somebody from the kitchen supply company coming it once it hits your table and sprinkling a bunch of cinnamon you didn’t ask for all over it.

Bro opening up your sandwich to put mayo on is a vastly different experience than you opening up my sandwich to put whatever condiment you choose on my sandwich.

I’m just gonna copy & paste my comment from another thread on the topic:

They don’t care. Nobody thinks this is a meaningful announcement, it’s just another pretense to justify AI as Nvidia and much of the entire US economy are so deeply sunken-cost invested in the “future AI ecosystem” that they just need any headlines to keep the machine churning. That’s what this is. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real and gamers won’t have to suffer with it, but no point of this is actually to make anyone’s gaming experience better in any way.

The new island looks like a pizza slice or dorito.

Everywhere is filled with absolute dipshits. Frankly the bar for “gifted” should not be looked at a praise-worthy state of those deemed such, but rather as a scathing rebuke of the general idiocy rampant across humanity.

Man, fucking sing it!

You’re allowed to say dick on the internet

If it makes you feel better, I think you guys are a better state in almost every other way but driving 😂

edit: Genuinely y’all might have the best state flag in the nation, and that’s coming from a Virginian and our flag is pretty fucking great

VA 😉

Hey, the drivers in my state are fine. It’s the drivers in the neighboring state that are all reckless idiots who don’t know to drive.
