Nvidia is the one company making a fortune in the AI bubble and will be just fine when it pops. They make top-quality graphics processors that physically exist, not money-burning AI models. But CES…
That sadly has not been my experience. I recall people on some gaming reddits being all ‘you cannot stop the coming tide’ re AI. And also recently got an indie game after nobody mentioned that the dev was using AI art for it (esp the recent updates, it also really sucks the art I mean) in the thread about it. But yes some of them are good on it, not a single entity after all
Erannorth Chronicles the problem is esp the last two dlc, which suddenly have graphics of the cards who don’t match. I tried to upload a pretty glaring example but it didn’t work atm. But you can also see it at the main page of the game, compare the page with all the cards on it. With this image, quite sad, esp as soon as you start to notice it (and how often the AI art doesn’t make sense) it just pulls you out of the game.
I appreciate tools like FSR and DLSS but wish they were a value proposition for those of us who can’t afford to buy a Xty ninenty every 3 years, as opposed to being pretty much mandatory to prop up the useability of increasingly poorly optimized games.
oh dont’ worry - they prop up the appearance not the usability. They look smoother but user input is still sampled at the slower rate, so the games aren’t actually any more reactive.
I guess in most games where millisecond reactions are necessary you probably aren’t doing much scenery gazing in the first place and can switch DLSS off without missing much (but you’ll have to pay extra for it anyway).
You’re thinking of frame gen, FSR and DLSS do produce more real frames which can make some games useable when otherwise not (or useable at slightly prettier settings)

Name and shame? Which game?

The long term problem is that no doubt eventually the 30fps of shitty unoptimized gameplay should be enough for everyone rhetoric will move on to you will take 180fps that feel like 30 and like it.
