00:00:00.060 --> 00:00:08.160
everyone and their dog is still angry over the outrageous pricing of NVIDIA's

00:00:04.680 --> 00:00:10.200
RTX 4000 series but if you're trying to

00:00:08.160 --> 00:00:15.120
figure out some way to justify the expense it's worth considering their

00:00:12.240 --> 00:00:19.800
dlss 3.0 the newest version of Team Green's AI powered Tech that gives you

00:00:17.580 --> 00:00:25.619
much better performance in games without absolutely thrashing your GPU and it's

00:00:22.619 --> 00:00:28.560
only officially available on the 4000

00:00:25.619 --> 00:00:32.640
series so is it worth it if you're not familiar with NVIDIA's

00:00:30.420 --> 00:00:36.960
previous generations of dlss here's a quick primer the basic idea is that

00:00:34.980 --> 00:00:41.640
instead of asking your GPU to render every frame at your preferred resolution

00:00:38.820 --> 00:00:45.660
from scratch it uses a machine learning algorithm that runs on special tensor

00:00:43.860 --> 00:00:51.059
cores that live on your graphics card this algorithm attempts to upscale

00:00:48.780 --> 00:00:55.980
images with little to no discernible quality loss so if your card is having a

00:00:54.059 --> 00:01:02.399
difficult time rendering a game at say 1080p the idea is that you enable dlss

00:00:59.640 --> 00:01:07.560
set it to Performance and instead you just have your GPU cores render the game

00:01:04.320 --> 00:01:10.020
at 540p with dlss filling in the blanks

00:01:07.560 --> 00:01:15.780
to give you a 1080p image that is almost as good as native resolution for far

00:01:12.600 --> 00:01:18.960
less computational effort but the

00:01:15.780 --> 00:01:22.140
specifics of how the AI Works have gone

00:01:18.960 --> 00:01:24.720
through several revisions dlss 1.0

00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:28.979
released in 2019 relied on a neural network that was trained against

00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:31.320
specific games by a supercomputer at an

00:01:28.979 --> 00:01:36.900
NVIDIA facility reception to the feature was mixed at the time but dlss 2.0 was

00:01:35.220 --> 00:01:42.180
much more warmly received when it debuted in 2020. not only did 2.0 run

00:01:39.960 --> 00:01:46.320
better on your card's tensor course but it had a more generalized AI model that

00:01:44.700 --> 00:01:50.939
was still generated by NVIDIA's supercomputer but didn't have to be

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:56.880
trained on specific games making it more broadly applicable dlss 3.0 which was

00:01:54.840 --> 00:02:01.140
just released does everything its predecessor does but takes things a step

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

00:02:02.520 --> 00:02:10.440
think MSI for sponsoring this video MSI's Meg z790 Ace is their new eatx

00:02:08.700 --> 00:02:15.959
motherboard built with overclocking your processor memory and graphics card in

00:02:12.959 --> 00:02:19.680
mind with support for 12 and 13th gen

00:02:15.959 --> 00:02:21.300
Intel CPUs and ddr5 memory the z790 ace

00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:25.260
is great for your next high-end build and its 8 layer PCB with two ounce

00:02:23.819 --> 00:02:29.459
thickened copper provides high performance and long lasting stability

00:02:31.319 --> 00:02:36.420
down below the big change with dlss 3.0

00:02:34.379 --> 00:02:41.640
is what team green is calling the optical flow accelerator kind of sounds

00:02:39.239 --> 00:02:46.620
like a part of a time traveling DeLorean but what it's actually doing is

00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:51.840
inserting entirely new frames between the ones that your GPU has already

00:02:48.660 --> 00:02:54.239
rendered here's how it works the AI

00:02:51.840 --> 00:02:58.440
examines two sequential frames from the game you're playing specifically looking

00:02:55.860 --> 00:03:03.060
for how the pixels are moving from frame to frame each pixel is examined for

00:03:00.900 --> 00:03:08.640
changes in lighting Reflections and particle Behavior to create what NVIDIA

00:03:05.099 --> 00:03:11.459
calls and Optical flow field basically a

00:03:08.640 --> 00:03:15.659
model of pixel movement dlss also keeps track of how geometry in the game

00:03:12.959 --> 00:03:19.500
changes such as how the Road moves below the character on their motorcycle in the

00:03:17.400 --> 00:03:22.920
example that we're showing although it is possible to generate frames for

00:03:21.239 --> 00:03:27.780
smoother motion just by looking at geometry quality can suffer as other

00:03:25.860 --> 00:03:31.560
effects like lighting won't be tracked correctly as you can see in this example

00:03:29.940 --> 00:03:38.099
where the shadow cast by the motorcycle is distorted but dlss 3.0 combines the

00:03:35.819 --> 00:03:42.180
optical flow field with geometry tracking to give more accurate inserted

00:03:40.260 --> 00:03:46.319
frames giving you significantly higher frame rates while maintaining image

00:03:44.220 --> 00:03:50.459
accuracy it'll be interesting to see just how high you can push frame rates

00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:54.900
in popular games now that dlss is inserting entire artificial frames in

00:03:53.040 --> 00:04:01.440
between frames that were already being upscaled by dlss NVIDIA is claiming that

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

00:04:03.659 --> 00:04:11.099
performance and quality without dlss unfortunately the official line from

00:04:08.580 --> 00:04:16.260
NVIDIA is that dlss 3.0 is only supported on the new RTX 4000 series of

00:04:13.799 --> 00:04:19.979
cards the report has already come out that the Restriction is due to a simple

00:04:17.760 --> 00:04:24.780
software lock one player was able to bypass it and double his performance in

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:30.060
the notoriously demanding cyberpunk 2077 while using a now two generations old

00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:33.300
RTX 2070 though there were some stability issues we're going to keep our

00:04:31.860 --> 00:04:37.020
fingers crossed that NVIDIA will officially remove this restriction in

00:04:35.160 --> 00:04:41.280
the near future especially since they probably want to clear out some stock of

00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:45.360
their existing 3000 Series products keep in mind though even if it does happen

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

00:04:47.580 --> 00:04:52.979
powerful Hardware another caveat of dlss

00:04:50.639 --> 00:04:57.240
is that it's still a very sophisticated form of guessing as to what an

00:04:55.080 --> 00:05:02.460
individual frame should look like so depending on your game and your specific

00:04:59.040 --> 00:05:04.500
Hardware your mileage may vary and it

00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:09.780
could add significant latency to your gameplay even if the image quality is

00:05:06.360 --> 00:05:11.880
great so maybe dlss 4.0 will come out

00:05:09.780 --> 00:05:14.520
with such a good AI that it can render artificial frames and even play the game

00:05:13.500 --> 00:05:17.419
for me I can only hope
