It just likes like someone in game found the light switch…

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 4 points 1 day ago

I'd rather have the original graphics, thank you very much

Oh ffs turn it off.

It amazes me that they honestly try to push this as “better”. Q3 has a certain look and feel that was a product of its time. It’s kinda like all those botched 3D model projects for og doom. Just fucking don’t already.

Fuck nvidia

Show me how to afford 16GB RAM.

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Good news! Quake 3 doesn't need 16 GB of ram.

[–] fishy@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

It might with HD mods and ray tracing.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Talk to a VC about your AI dev shop.

in the summer of 2024 i put 64gb of ddr5 RAM in my computer because it was like $250... for the good stuff

sorry you missed the boat 😞

[–] tacotroubles@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

🔪 hand em over this is a ram robbery. You can tell by the attached knife emoji Im serious. So no funny business.

[–] CIA_chatbot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

👮STOP RIGHT THERE SCUMBAG! You’re safe now citizen, however I’m going to have to take this ram into custody as …. Evidence

[–] metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org 6 points 2 days ago

Get one of those 'jobs' that rewards you for fucking other people over.

Landlord, advertiser, business consultant, etc.

Unironically did that recently. As in, Mint doesn't have memory compression enabled out of the box.

[–] Rothe@piefed.social 19 points 2 days ago

Why should we care? Regular consumers are not going to be able to get their hands on any nvidia products anyway. And also fuck nvidia for being one of the main instigators of this whole AI shitshow in collusion with a fascist US government.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 28 points 2 days ago (4 children)

After seeing their DLSS 5.0 Im just never spending money on NVIDIA again

[–] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

That‘s funny because I firmly believe they showcased DLSS5 at that time in this state only to cover up news coverage about their Palantir partnership and passionate support for Israel. It was genius.

[–] Goodeye8@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well that's easily disproven by the fact that they boldly put "Nvidia ❤ Palantir ❤ Dell" in the same GTK Keynote. They don't care about hiding their Palantir partnership because all they see from that partnership are $$$. DLSS5 was showcased because the AI hype is dying down and at this point Nvidia stock lives on the AI hype. Nvidia stock 3 years ago (which was the early stages of the AI hype) was ~$28, now it's ~$174. We're about the experience another one of those once in a lifetime economic crashes when the AI hype dies down and Nvidia stock plummets.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 1 points 2 days ago

Not to mention that the average consumer probably has no clue what palantir is or even that it exists.

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

After seeing their graphics card prices and the corners they cut and the gouging, same. Bought a 2070s new in 2019. Next card if I can ever afford one again is definitely AMD lol. Plus the Linux support is just so much better.

[–] TalkingFlower@lemmy.world -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

RTX remix is for modders.

Quite frankly, I would not mind having DLSS 5 in architecture games like House Flipper, where doing a quick and dirty illustration without diving into pro software with massive subscription fees or overcomplicated workflows.

Not to mention, the hyperrealism would fit the simulator genre like The Bus or Truck Simulator.

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The point is that NVIDIA decided to inject AI slop into their product and in that single move ruined their entire reputation in my eyes. I dont need a cozy game AI-Slopified into "photo realism" especially when its the AI version of that, a style that is distinct and offensive to me.

Any modders using AI like this are also modders whos content Ill never download or support. Its pretty simple, I dont want any slop in my games. I dont want to pay for slop in my games. Anyone asking me to do so gets written off.

[–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Nvidia are making $750 million a day... I think they'll cope 🤣

[–] YoFrodo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Oh they are coping alright, theyve already had to make public comments that "consumers just dont get it"

They are gargantuan, but public opinion still matters and the only thing I can actually do is bring up how stupid they are for this AI garbage in public forums and refuse to buy their products ever again. Im not going to keep these opinions to myself simply because they make a lot of money.

[–] metakrakalaka@lemmychan.org 16 points 2 days ago

Who cares? I don't even want companies changing the graphics of old games.

[–] mrfriki@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This would be neat if you didn't lost 90% of your FPS in the process.

[–] TalkingFlower@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

That really depends on the old game and the modder who writes the renderer that accepts Remix.

[–] luthis@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is there meant to be a link?

[–] TalkingFlower@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

whoops, fixed.
