New GeForce RTX DLSS AA and P3D

[DylanM 1,069]

This looks promising...looking forward to the reports from the early adopters on how it translates within P3D...

"What’s interesting about DLSS is that it uses Turing’s Tensor cores to enable a deep learning-powered AI technique to dramatically improve image quality and remove jagged edge artifacts in games, with a minimal performance hit. Traditional anti-aliasing, or AA, can lean heavily on GPU processing resources and memory bandwidth, and may consume large amounts of frame buffer memory as well. Anti-aliasing often requires a frame to be rendered and re-rendered multiple times in order to smooth out edges of objects in a scene and the end result can be a costly performance hit. NVIDIA notes that its new DLSS anti-aliasing technique, however, uses machine learning of scenes and images (called inferencing) to improve image quality without the large performance hit associated with some traditional AA methods. To use NVIDIA's words, “powered by Turing’s Tensor Cores, which perform lightning-fast deep neural network processing, GeForce RTX GPUs also support Deep Learning Super-Sampling (DLSS), a technology that applies deep learning and AI to rendering techniques, resulting in crisp, smooth edges on rendered objects in games.""

Thanks for the info. Sounds interesting. The proof will be in the visuals.

Certainly will be a “wait and see” for me.  A great jump in technology but how it translates directly into simming rather than a Triple-A title built for ray tracing will hold me off from any kind of pre-ordering or early adoption.

It is for the Ti. The 2080 is around the $800 USD range and the 2070 ~$600

I suppose it will translate to nothing. I think LM will first have to implement this into P3D, just like raytracing... or DX12... Don't wait for it. I don't expect anything very interesting from early adopters apart from a improvement of, well, let's say, 3 fps (going from 25 to 28), which would be quite something already. 😉

Lol, these topics are funny....psst...the software is the problem....it is old. 🤣

This isn't raytracing...this is AA. And yes, P3D does use that despite its pedigree...

The new GPU tech will only run on windows 10 updated and DX12, and at the moment will not work as the drivers used are only beta and have not been released by Nvidia, and your not likely to see it tested in P3Dv4 till mid to late sept when someone gets there hand on one.

Machine learning, eh? If they call the next generation of cards "Terminator", I'm running for the hills

Machine learning, eh? So, I can expect the image quality to improve every time that I run the simulator....

Or comment on how terrible our approach angles were...😅

Yes the Ti

From what I understood the machine learning part is actually done in Nvidia datacenters running the game in question a couple billion times so when you play P3D it doesn't try and do AA with XPlane visuals. So to use this in P3D you'd first need to ask Nvidia to run the sim on their machines... good luck with that 🤣

And isn't this Nvidia-specific? If so, what about all the AMD-based users?
