Quoting: ShmerlSo it doesn't increase quality,

I don't think you understand whats going on one bit. But 'when' everyone is doing similar things as to what DLSS does, I'll watch you eat your own hat! :)

Also as someone pointed out, native everything would be great, but lets face it, unless a magical fairy comes down from the silicon heavens and unleashes a compute power revolution, then we aren't going to see CPU's or GPU's for the consumer handle future graphics very well without some way to 'optimize' performance at higher resolutions or fps.

In saying that DLSS2.0 has shown that in areas a 1440p image can look better then 2160p, its not universal but it CAN look decently better in areas.

Quoting: ShmerlTo put it differently, DLSS is just another marketing gimmick, not a technology that can actually improve games quality.

Have you even tried DLSS 2.0? (and 3.0 down the pipe will be better)

Your comments strongly suggest you've only ever read about it or seen a very early version of it. Its NOT a gimmick and like I said, many industries are moving towards using lower resolution images to enhance to higher resolution with impressive results.

And it does improve quality, again, you're clearly someone who has not been keeping up to date with DLSS and other similar machine deep learning image enhancing tech's (basically same as DLSS but without NVIDIA drm).

Quoting: ShmerlInstead of over-hyped gimmicks(not), GPU makers should work on improving compute power .

Why not do both? MEME

Why waste compute power? games don't need loads of GPU compute power, ray tracing uses some of the compute potential, still room under the hood, use it.

RTX finally coming to Proton hopefully, maybe dream of playing CP2077 under linux with all the bells and whistles will happen. (if you have NVIDIA card).

I'm still hopeful NAVI 2x cards will have great value, we will see. If they get 16GB VRAM then it may be enough to convince me to diverge. I'm quite excited about the future of DLSS because lots of other industries are noticing the huge benefits to such technology (VR or mobile phones for example). AMD has been basically MIA when it comes to DLSS akin tech (don't you dare say CAS sharpening filter!)

I can't even use my Quest on Linux as it requires 3rd party streamer apps and oculus app, all of which ignore Linux's existence. :(

Hopefully RTX features can somehow be supported under DX12 also. That be nice.

I think this only shows off the AUTO resolve combat. Oh wait, a flicker of it at 0:09, would have been nice if they showed some more.

Secure with a Intel processor in it... hmmmmmmm

I really can't take these guys serious after they raised the price on their phone like 10x and delayed it even more.

Apparently Cyberpunk 2077 will be DX12 exclusive. Could be a issue for running it under Proton as the DX12 component is very early in development still, and no word on RTX features working under that. Windows wins again, :(

ARCH does make it easier to use stuff like Wine/Proton NVIDIA beta drivers and veriest game related tools.

The AUR facilitates them well and the whole pacman/aur process allows for easy patching/tweaking of settings which UNFORTUNATELY is still needed under Linux for 'optimal' gaming.

That's my guess.

Still got 3 tick boxes I'm waiting for under Linux
1) EAC/BE Anti-cheat support under Proton
2) Better VR support so I can use my Quest under Linux (via wifi app).
3) Nvidia to offer Wayland support.

Once those 3 things happen I'll be pretty happy.
