Has anyone tried the Start Wars Reflections demo? On my RTX 2080 Ti the frame rate is constant throughout the run, a bit weird ... And no way to toggle DLSS ON-OFF? The Chinese MMO demo and Atomic Heart runs fine.
Ray-tracing applications have already started to roll out early support to utilze RT Cores inside Turing. OctaneBench RTX preview was already mentioned, Arnold will have a a public beta soon.
Fermat, NVLabs' physically based research renderer can also harness the power of RTX Turing and logs...
So Testing Games YT channel didn't even bother to rerun the benchmarks with the old driver on the updated system (I guess, Win10 October update). Epic!
Slide deck:
POLARIS EVOLVED - A better version to upgrade your old GPU
- Latest Generation FinFET
- Aggressive Tuning for Higher Clocks
- Enhanced Multi-Monitor Efficiency
- Expanded Options & Robust Partner Designs
No mention of memory, so it is surely GDDR5 8 Gbps. Bummer!
GeForce GTX...
I can't see huge gains if they don't up the memory clocks (currently 2,000 MHz) and only push the pedal once again on the gfx core clocks.
The difference between the RX 480 vs RX 580 with high-end models of Sapphire is usually not more than 5%.
Boost Clocks:
Sapphire RX 480 (1342 MHz)

Of course I know this, but this doesn't make my statement misguided. Yes, Intel is making one chip and the huge die space where the IGP resides is good for nothing - just for trouble shooting, 2D raster and video encoding.
Again, how does this make sense? Once again, we are talking about 300$+...
Feature-wise they are top-notch and drivers have improved a lot, but can you share some applications where Intel's IGPs can compete with AMD's on-board gfx? Nearly 2 years ago a new driver code-branch improved the performance of the IGPs a lot in LuxMark and with that it outperformed Kaveri. I...
How does this make any sense? Seriously!
IMO, the IGP on Intel's high-end CPUs is just a waste of die space. For gaming, this is definitely true, for compute maybe you can find some use-cases, but generally, there are very few applications that can take advantage of Intel's IGPs.
And the cheap...
This hypothesis isn't really well founded if you look at production GPU render engines. There are lot's of CUDA only renderers, and Radeon GPUs only overpower their NVIDIA equivalent in LuxMark and RadeonProRender.
From the D3D12 Raytracing Fallback Layer Overview: The goal of the Fallback...
Denoising is one of the most researched topic in rendering right now, and even full-blown, high-quality, production renderers will deploy denoising. Everyone loves faster render times, so why not use it?
KPCN / DeepZ Denoising / MLDenoising
I wonder when they will share some details about how do they plan to challenge the RTX line-up and tech. Although one can bad-mouth NVIDIA for the underwhelming RTX-tech adoption in current games, 3D render engines will have updates to utilize RT cores pretty soon, even CPU only engines will...
How do you define fully accurate and why do full ray-tracing when you can be smarter? There's no analytical solution for the full light transport equation except for some very special corner cases. In commercial 3D render engines you let the render converge to a good enough state that contains...
I'm pretty sure that NVIDIA does everything in their power to get a console deal or to create a cloud service for console gaming. The latter is much more attractive proposition for them.
It's marketing - they always promise the stars. And the whole release seems rushed, the tech is early...
NVIDIA just saw the opportunity to re-purpose the same tech for both professional users and gamers. AMD can't attack back with "traditional" gaming GPUs so they are pretty much covered on this front.
They are shaping the future now in gaming as well and it seems that hybrid raster-raytraced-AI...
What else should I focus on? And on a high level, it is the first iteration of a new breed of super sampling algorithms, and yes, it does anti-aliasing as well. But to classify it as an AA method is just oversimplification.
FXAA, TAA, SMAA, MSAA. I hope you see the trend there.
NV dubbed the...
This is a debate on classification, and usually the main motive of the algorithm that matters there.
From the DLSS: What Does It Mean for Game Developers? article:
DLSS uses a convolutional auto-encoder to process each frame which is a very different approach than other antialiasing techniques...
Well, I disagree. I'm far from expert on the field of neural-networks, but I haven't seen any indications that the neural-net is guided by edges. It learns the weights from a 64x bigger rendered image. Maybe someone in the know can confirm this?
The RTG / Radeon team has to step up. It is far from impossible to get their own version of DLSS and other cool stuff - even without dedicated hardware elements. For that they have to recruit top-talent and pay top-money, just as NVIDIA does. Check out how many of the ray-tracing gurus of the...
IMO, there's no limitation of DLSS as it is not an AA method and shouldn't be categorized as such. It is an AI guided super-sampling / upres method. The confusion stems from the fact that the official slides compared the image quality of DLSS to native resolution + TAA. And rightly so, as both...
But Vega has already plateaued, I don't thing there's any performance left in it. The real deal is how much speed-up can Turing achieve with RT cores in GPU rendering and radiation simulation where ray-triangle intersection can be accelerated. The same applies for Tensor cores in AI workloads...
OEMs are usually fine with a rebadge, up the card designation number and be done with it.
I can only speak about what I can experience. Let me highlight the mindshare thing, just check out the very first response the guy gets. And BTW, it was me how called out the guy on the matter and...
AMD will not bother with a Polaris rehash unless the new card can match a GTX 1070 at a much reduced price, at least -15% cheaper. Of course I don't have data, but if you look up a "Which GPU should I buy" forum, many clearly state that the person is not interested in AMD solutions. So to have a...
IMHO the main issue is that the simpler DLSS version renders a lower resolution image and upscales it hence the huge uplift in performance. It's a great sw tech + dedicated hw to make it fast but makes performance comparisons pointless because of the difference in render resolutions. I get it...
I wanted to buy the new RTX GPUs for benchmarking purposes, but the availability is a joke here (Central Europe). This trend is a huge scam - why they can't build-up a big enough inventory, lift the embargo and release the GPUs a week or so later? Everything is about Day 1 reviews, and I was...
Why are the StarWars RT / Infiltrator demos not available for the general public? Tried to reach out to an NV contact but went silent when I requested help a week or so.
My gut feeling was that DLSS uses lower resolution, but didn't want to make a fool of myself on the forums, lol.
SS methods always render at higher resolutions. This time around they render at a lower resolution and the NeuralNetwork upscales it. So the reverse but with additional clever magic...
AMD is not even considered by professionals when it comes to GPU selection for 3d rendering, only a handful of small teams go for AMD solutions.
The gap was enormous before, now it is on a whole new level. The companies that will integrate RT cores to their render engines:
Autodesk (Arnold)...
NVIDIA owns not just the gaming market, they completely obliterate AMD on the professional/compute staff as well - automotive, AI / neural networks / deep learning, visualization / rendering. With the RT cores there's a chance that all the OpenCL based render engines become obsolete, not that...
One has to consider not only die size but ray tracing ecosystem costs as well with RTX pricing. All the ray tracing gurus, experts are on NVIDIA's payroll. Not only a few, 99% of them.
+ game devs don't add these last minute RTX effects to their games for free too. And check out how many...
@tamz_msc
Thx! The lines are just simple straight lines to the top card of each architecture.
In my reasoning, if the dots sit from an uarch on the top cards line that means great scaling - adding more CUDA cores / freq is not wasted on the top GPU.
Moreover, I wanted to highlight that even the...
I have recently benchmarked TITAN V against the Pascal (and Maxwell) cards with different GPU rendering sw and the difference can range from 20%-50% between the GTX1080 Ti and the TITAN V.
GPU rendering - Maxwell vs Pascal vs Volta performance scaling - V-Ray, Redshift, Indigo Renderer, LuxMark...
Yeah, my bad. Just checked DigitalFoundry's take on the game with mid-range dGPUs (GTX 970/1060, R9 390 and RX 480) and the game indeed needs > 4c/8t). At least the game is great for testing CPUs, too bad it is only on MS Store.
