Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.
1. Submissions have to be related to games
Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.
This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.
2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil
No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.
We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.
3. No excessive self-promotion
Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.
This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.
4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts
This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.
We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.
5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW
Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.
No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.
6. No linking to piracy
Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.
We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

It's also worth noting that game devs will be able to mask different objects in a game scene, changing the structural and tone intensities for each independently. Devs might, for instance, want to give some background objects the full DLSS 5 makeover but keep a lighter touch with the characters.
This is about the only vaguely useful part of it. Just disable it for character faces. That said, why even use this garbage in the first place I don't know.
Godot has more sliders to make a light switch.
Is there anyone that actually wants this garbage?
I know some people that do. They are also some of the biggest idiots I've ever met.
"New and expensive" is enough for most gamers. The community is spearheaded by consumerists.
Maybe there is eventually a way of making these filters look good by adding (many) additional parameters, but they're still ignoring the much more important question: how are they going to get this to run on anything other than the compute server they're currently using.
By forcing people to pay to stream games from it?
But like, they can already do that with exclusivity deals if its just for games, nonetheless bad looking ones. The only way this would benefit them is if they genuinely think this actually looks good, or they're trying to further inflate the AI bubble, and one of those two options seems far more likely than the other.
I think that's the idea. "Experience the biggest game of the year, only on [insert exclusive rent-to-play cloud based platform]".
Capitalism: You will own nothing and be happy about it, or else...
But like, they can already do that with exclusivity deals. This tech just adds extra overhead to that.
how are they going to get this to run on anything other than the compute server they’re currently using.
You'll stream your game from an AI datacenter, of course. For only $49.99 per month. And now you can play all the games on trash hardware! While the corp analyzes and records your every move! But only if you have a good internet connection, of course!
I’d assume it’s for 5000 series GPUs. And maybe someone will hack it onto 4000 cards?
I mean, given that they previously said it was only running on multi-gpu systems, I can't see one generation of advancement being enough to make this feasible on consumer hardware. At this point, I'm thinking that this is just a paper product meant to help inflate valuations without any intention to launch it.
I'd bet its an unoptimized prototype.
This is quite doable on 5000 cards, theoretically. I was gonna say they'll make it exclusive to 6000 cards and market it for them, but it's not even clear a 6000 series is coming at this point...
But they also previously said that when it releases it will be running on the same GPU your games are.
I seriously doubt the river actually going to release this. No one wants it, and it also only runs on high-end cards, which also don't need it.
Speech to text took "doubt they're ever" and gave you "doubt the river*?
If there isn't a Nic Cage mode, why even bother?
