Wow it saves 300MB on 8k. very impressive. This will make 8GB cards usable again /s

Internet Explorer meme bout to be replaced by just rendered on my 8gb card

[–] Arcane2077@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 weeks ago

So still about 40% more VRAM expensive than DLSS3

Would be useful for competitive, if they didn't care for high FPS already. But else? I personaly prefer better image quality over bigger numbers.

Less VRAM usage means you can use higher-quality models and textures.

Are you saying usage of DLSS reduces memory usage as opposed to not running frame generation? Are you saying that running lower native resolution with framegen but higher textures is going to make the game sharper?

No?! Have you read the title of this post?

dlss isn't frame gen, it's supersampling

[–] REDACTED@infosec.pub 0 points 2 weeks ago

TIL. Never used either.
