1
00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:08,160
everyone and their dog is still angry over the outrageous pricing of NVIDIA's

2
00:00:04,680 --> 00:00:10,200
RTX 4000 series but if you're trying to

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:15,120
figure out some way to justify the expense it's worth considering their

4
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:19,800
dlss 3.0 the newest version of Team Green's AI powered Tech that gives you

5
00:00:17,580 --> 00:00:25,619
much better performance in games without absolutely thrashing your GPU and it's

6
00:00:22,619 --> 00:00:28,560
only officially available on the 4000

7
00:00:25,619 --> 00:00:32,640
series so is it worth it if you're not familiar with NVIDIA's

8
00:00:30,420 --> 00:00:36,960
previous generations of dlss here's a quick primer the basic idea is that

9
00:00:34,980 --> 00:00:41,640
instead of asking your GPU to render every frame at your preferred resolution

10
00:00:38,820 --> 00:00:45,660
from scratch it uses a machine learning algorithm that runs on special tensor

11
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:51,059
cores that live on your graphics card this algorithm attempts to upscale

12
00:00:48,780 --> 00:00:55,980
images with little to no discernible quality loss so if your card is having a

13
00:00:54,059 --> 00:01:02,399
difficult time rendering a game at say 1080p the idea is that you enable dlss

14
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:07,560
set it to Performance and instead you just have your GPU cores render the game

15
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:10,020
at 540p with dlss filling in the blanks

16
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:15,780
to give you a 1080p image that is almost as good as native resolution for far

17
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,960
less computational effort but the

18
00:01:15,780 --> 00:01:22,140
specifics of how the AI Works have gone

19
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:24,720
through several revisions dlss 1.0

20
00:01:22,140 --> 00:01:28,979
released in 2019 relied on a neural network that was trained against

21
00:01:25,820 --> 00:01:31,320
specific games by a supercomputer at an

22
00:01:28,979 --> 00:01:36,900
NVIDIA facility reception to the feature was mixed at the time but dlss 2.0 was

23
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:42,180
much more warmly received when it debuted in 2020. not only did 2.0 run

24
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:46,320
better on your card's tensor course but it had a more generalized AI model that

25
00:01:44,700 --> 00:01:50,939
was still generated by NVIDIA's supercomputer but didn't have to be

26
00:01:48,479 --> 00:01:56,880
trained on specific games making it more broadly applicable dlss 3.0 which was

27
00:01:54,840 --> 00:02:01,140
just released does everything its predecessor does but takes things a step

28
00:01:58,740 --> 00:02:04,640
further with one really cool feature and we'll tell you what it is right after we

29
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:10,440
think MSI for sponsoring this video MSI's Meg z790 Ace is their new eatx

30
00:02:08,700 --> 00:02:15,959
motherboard built with overclocking your processor memory and graphics card in

31
00:02:12,959 --> 00:02:19,680
mind with support for 12 and 13th gen

32
00:02:15,959 --> 00:02:21,300
Intel CPUs and ddr5 memory the z790 ace

33
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,260
is great for your next high-end build and its 8 layer PCB with two ounce

34
00:02:23,819 --> 00:02:29,459
thickened copper provides high performance and long lasting stability

36
00:02:31,319 --> 00:02:36,420
down below the big change with dlss 3.0

37
00:02:34,379 --> 00:02:41,640
is what team green is calling the optical flow accelerator kind of sounds

38
00:02:39,239 --> 00:02:46,620
like a part of a time traveling DeLorean but what it's actually doing is

39
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:51,840
inserting entirely new frames between the ones that your GPU has already

40
00:02:48,660 --> 00:02:54,239
rendered here's how it works the AI

41
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,440
examines two sequential frames from the game you're playing specifically looking

42
00:02:55,860 --> 00:03:03,060
for how the pixels are moving from frame to frame each pixel is examined for

43
00:03:00,900 --> 00:03:08,640
changes in lighting Reflections and particle Behavior to create what NVIDIA

44
00:03:05,099 --> 00:03:11,459
calls and Optical flow field basically a

45
00:03:08,640 --> 00:03:15,659
model of pixel movement dlss also keeps track of how geometry in the game

46
00:03:12,959 --> 00:03:19,500
changes such as how the Road moves below the character on their motorcycle in the

47
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:22,920
example that we're showing although it is possible to generate frames for

48
00:03:21,239 --> 00:03:27,780
smoother motion just by looking at geometry quality can suffer as other

49
00:03:25,860 --> 00:03:31,560
effects like lighting won't be tracked correctly as you can see in this example

50
00:03:29,940 --> 00:03:38,099
where the shadow cast by the motorcycle is distorted but dlss 3.0 combines the

51
00:03:35,819 --> 00:03:42,180
optical flow field with geometry tracking to give more accurate inserted

52
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:46,319
frames giving you significantly higher frame rates while maintaining image

53
00:03:44,220 --> 00:03:50,459
accuracy it'll be interesting to see just how high you can push frame rates

54
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:54,900
in popular games now that dlss is inserting entire artificial frames in

55
00:03:53,040 --> 00:04:01,440
between frames that were already being upscaled by dlss NVIDIA is claiming that

56
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:06,319
your GPU only has to render 1 8 of the pixels that it would have to for similar

57
00:04:03,659 --> 00:04:11,099
performance and quality without dlss unfortunately the official line from

58
00:04:08,580 --> 00:04:16,260
NVIDIA is that dlss 3.0 is only supported on the new RTX 4000 series of

59
00:04:13,799 --> 00:04:19,979
cards the report has already come out that the Restriction is due to a simple

60
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:24,780
software lock one player was able to bypass it and double his performance in

61
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:30,060
the notoriously demanding cyberpunk 2077 while using a now two generations old

62
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:33,300
RTX 2070 though there were some stability issues we're going to keep our

63
00:04:31,860 --> 00:04:37,020
fingers crossed that NVIDIA will officially remove this restriction in

64
00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:41,280
the near future especially since they probably want to clear out some stock of

65
00:04:38,639 --> 00:04:45,360
their existing 3000 Series products keep in mind though even if it does happen

66
00:04:42,840 --> 00:04:50,639
it's unlikely to work as well as it should on 4000 series due to its less

67
00:04:47,580 --> 00:04:52,979
powerful Hardware another caveat of dlss

68
00:04:50,639 --> 00:04:57,240
is that it's still a very sophisticated form of guessing as to what an

69
00:04:55,080 --> 00:05:02,460
individual frame should look like so depending on your game and your specific

70
00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:04,500
Hardware your mileage may vary and it

71
00:05:02,460 --> 00:05:09,780
could add significant latency to your gameplay even if the image quality is

72
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,880
great so maybe dlss 4.0 will come out

73
00:05:09,780 --> 00:05:14,520
with such a good AI that it can render artificial frames and even play the game

74
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:17,419
for me I can only hope
