warning that the cited performance improvements in the title are using the new Multi Frame Generation

still seems like a decent improvement in performance per dollar anyways, and the new MFG might be good too and it has improved frame pacing

old RTX owners are getting some good updates too:

and all RTX cards also get the new Reflex 2

NVIDIA Reflex 2 is coming soon to THE FINALS and VALORANT, and will debut first on GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, with support added for other GeForce RTX GPUs in a future update.

The thing is these improvements all look nice on paper but they are essentially useless if they are not implemented in the games you actually play. The only game I've played to really let my 4070 stretch its legs is Hogwarts Legacy and for that I had to enable HAGS again.

It sounds like the DLSS updates are controlled by the driver now, so old games will immediately be using the new DLSS updates

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If it will work like NIS currently does, from the Nvidia control panel (i.e. driver controlled) then that would be awesome. In the current state the game will need support built in which means that if a game dev implements it poorly, the results will be bad as well. Example is F1 23 in VR.

I mean it will update old DLSS implementations, so it will support many games on launch day

The listed prices seem somewhat suspect (PR).

The 5070 for $550 would work out to ~$700 - $800 (if not more) depending on AIB model where I live.

Even in the US, there will be an AIB markup and some increase due to taxes.

I'm inclined to upgrade my 3090

[–] Alphane_Moon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I am going to stick to my 3080 for now. Probably wait the next generation of X3D AMD CPUs. Most of my games are heavily CPU bound and hobbies (video editing/upscaling) benefit from strong multicore performance.

[–] Jumi@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Most of mine are too but I love upgrading and doing stuff on my PC.
