Sorry to say this but the first tree isn't a great game at all (and I made the effort to finish it!). Nothing more interesting to say! Good Night!

Quoting: TheRiddickHave 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
I don't have Nvidia cards. And yes, I've read various reviews which confirm what is really self explanatory. There is no magic replacement for compute power. If you increase resolution, reconstructed image can only be an approximation, no matter how much machine learning you'll throw at it. That's just how it works by definition.

So it doesn't increase quality, it only tries to mask its degradation due to compute power of the card not being adequate for a given resolution. That's a fake approach to quality and not something anyone should be cheering for. I'd stick to approach of matching given resolution with required compute power, not to gimmicks that degrade it.

Quoting: TheRiddickWhy 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.
Because I'm not buying some koolaid posing as quality.

Games that need more compute power can run at reasonable resolutions. Not in some overstretched mode with worse quality.
As he said you just missing the point. It does increase quality if you set lower settings.

Machine learning here is just kind of regression that predicts some pixels instead of calculating everything. And indeed it's not perfect like any type of interpolation.

Why do you want to waste energy power when you can have an almost as good render but with higher FPS ? What NVIDIA achieved is quite impressive and I can't imagine how long their neural network training must have taken.

Quoting: Luke_NukemReverse-prime still doesn't work as you'd expect. Exact same issues as here [External Link].
I was so exciting with the beta release and finally got calm down really quickly after first try. I can't understand how they let it landed in long term driver when we were a few to point the issues on their forum.

Team Fortress 2 gets a nice tribute to Rick May, plus a few minor fixes

This company has some values. Cheers to Valve and May.

Thanks for sharing Liam. I filled the form, the game looks great.

Quoting: Jiskinjust tried it... lot of lags, poor video quality (especially if you have a 4k screen). My controller is recognized but is not working correctly on Destiny 2...
I think I won't test it for long.
What is your internet speed ? That'll be nice if people commenting will also put this information because frankly this is the defining factor.
I have optical fiber 1gb dl & 600mb upload. My ping in CSGO is between 5 and 15. So, I'm probably not the issue or I would not being complaining.
Try it again after half a day or so. I had massive lag issues initially, but they've not reappeared recently. I suspect it's part Google's initial setup, part whatever traffic routing is happening at the time.

I'm going to take my experience as that it's not guaranteed to be consistent.
Ok I'll try again! Anyone successfully played with Xbox controller and xpadneo driver ?

What have you been playing recently? Come tell us what you think about it

I think I played a lot lately like most of you :-D

I completed Ori and the will of the wisps. Like the first one, magical and beautiful. Run smoothly through Proton after shader compilation.

I'm still running Metro exodus, it's awesome like the previous ones. I shit myself so many times.

With my friends, I made my come-back on CS:GO 10 years after my last played. I'm glad to see I didn't loose too much skill! When are we doing a GoL contest or at least a team?

I also played Age of Empire II : definitive edition with friends. Works fine after 3 tweaks (see ProtonDB).

I've installed The Witcher II and Doom (2016). We'll see.
