There is obviously a one frame input lag with Frame Generation, but this would likely only possibly bother esports twitch shooter players, who would already be enjoying raw 400-500 fps on 4090 rigs, so wouldn't need any extra frame generation.

 

Using any type of upscaling tech on an E-Sport title that runs on a potato isn't something anyone would do anyway so why would anyone worry about that? I'll take the far higher FPS on demanding titles rather than worry about going from say 25ms to 35ms of latency. I doubt anyone could feel or notice that. You know what they will notice though? Going from  40-50fps to 80-100fps average.

Considering 6900xt raster was equal (or better) than the 3090 at 1440p and 1080p and competitive at 4k, if it is truly 2x faster for RDNA3, it will flat out beat a 4090 and maybe even a 4090ti.. RT would at least be on par with Ampere.

 

Could be another case of AMD having fantastic (even superior) Rasterization but Nvidia doing everything else right.

 

A superior Raster card and potentially DP2.1? Mmmmmmm

"As per the leaker, the AMD RDNA 3 GPUs featured on the Radeon RX 7000 series graphics cards are delivering up to a 2x performance increase in pure rasterization workloads and over 2x gains within ray tracing workloads. It is not mentioned in the RDNA 2 GPU is the RX 6900 XT or RX 6950 XT but even if we look at the 6900 XT, the RDNA 2 chip offered superior performance in raster vs the RTX 3090 and came pretty close to the RTX 3090 Ti while the RX 6950 XT excelled over it. A 2x improvement in this department would mean that AMD would easily compete and even surpass the performance of the RTX 4090 in a large section of gamers.

In ray tracing, a gain over 2x means that AMD might end up close to or slightly faster than the RTX 30 series "Ampere" graphics cards, depending on the title. The Ada Lovelace RTX 40 series cards do offer much faster ray tracing capabilities, offering close to 2x gains in ray tracing performance over the RTX 30 lineup. So ray tracing will see a major improvement but it may not be able to close the gap with RTX 40 series."

 

Let's hope so. My point is that things like core counts don't tell much of a story, and kind of look underwhelming in comparison. Looking deeper, 6800xt is on par with with 3080 on Linux (and outperformed it in gaming) so go Team Red!

The latency would basically double, so in your case 25ms to 50ms. The impact would be highly title dependent. Perfect for a relaxed flight sim for sure, anything that requires frequent and precise control might start feeling slightly slippery, depending on one's perception threshold of course.  Naturally, the higher the raw framerate the lower the risk of input lag issues, so this is probably a better tech to use going from 120 to 240 fps than from 60 to 120 or from 30 to 60.

 

Then there are the model errors / artefacting - plenty of examples on YT to enjoy. The beauty of it is that most people wouldn't notice since they would not routinely scrutinise correctness vs the raw material. Clever Nvidia, good for them.

The aRGB lighting show will be more and more important for the vendors. The best way to increase profits/ASP. The new bling bling show come at heafty 400$ or 3x the uplift in price vs the older model. Aka damn expensive lights, Frosty-looking white color and ssd cooler. Apple ain't the only company who know how to make money.

The older model without the ssd cooler.... Not in white and no ssd cooler but at 1/3rd of the price.

Best Buy had a 4090 drop earlier today.

 

I added both a FE 4090 and  MSI Suprim X Liquid to my carts and had no problem getting to "hit this to buy" stage.

 

Then I removed them and carried on. 🙂

 

Now they're all sold out (as expected) but they did linger for a bit on several models.

 

Again, nothing like the Pandemic / Crypto boom.

Spent some time last night playing Flight Sim 2020 with the new Frame Generation and holy crap it's a game changer. Going from 4K Ultra everything at 40-50fps with DLSS quality to 80-100fps was incredible. Input lag my ass, the game 100% is smoother and far more enjoyable on a high refresh rate monitor. 

 

Some reviewers were knocking DLSS when it first launched and rightfully so, it was pretty bad image quality. Especially if you go back and retest/compare. Nvidia kept improving and now we have DLSS 2.x and 3.0 which are vasty superior and indistinguishable and even better at times than native for 4K gaming. The same thing is going to happen with this new frame generation tech, and you can bet Intel and AMD are both scrambling to find their own solution or tech. 

I still play RDR2 to this day. And I run DLSS quality just because their implementation of TAA is poor and always has been. And DLSS Quality looks ten times better. The game didn’t always have DLSS though. I’m glad it does, and not just for the performance benefits, it fixed that crap TAA cartoon looking garbage they had implemented in the game previously.

Yes i expect stock to normalize and prices to drop in 1 2 Months, maybe Christmas, until then NVIDIA will keep the stock of 4090 locked up until they sell he 3080 3090ti still in stock. Scalpers are also reducing the price to 200 400 more then normal price, a sign that the demand is shrinking

Watched DF video about latency and they measured 25ms to 35ms with frame gen on vs off. Not even close to double. 10ms isn’t something anyone is going to notice even in a fast paced twitch game. 35ms is far from high latency. How on earth did we ever game before we had Nvidia Reflex and had over 100ms of input lag? 
 

Artifacts are definitely there with all types of up scaling tech. DLSS, FSR, etc all have artifacts. The issue is that most of them require you to pixel peep and slow down and zoom in 3-4x to see them. Others are more noticeable.

The specs look like "Navi 31" will compete robustly with the 4080, unless the much larger cache provides a substantial enough boost.

 

would be reminiscent to the X3D tech on the cpu side. AMD using the same weapons to compete with nvidia as with intel previously. money and resources well spent.

downside of dlss 3 is that its more geared towards hardware that can already generate sufficient fps, for slower hardware dlss 2 / fsr 2 is still likely a better solution due to less impact on latency. in any case, im expectind nvidia to continue improving on dlss 3, maybe limit the latency increase and reduce artifacts. then well have a true additional option 🙂

more of the same then it seems: rasterization amd lower res wins for AMD, higher res and "extra goodies" like RT and dlss 3 wins for Nvidia. but judt as with intel before, AMD is slowly but surely creeping up to par with the competition. as opposed to intel though, nvidia so far hasnt "slipped" in terms of delivering and focusing on new products, so itll be a tougher competition.

A link to scrutinize would help, as I'm not even sure how the imput lag was measured. For example,  10ms of extra monitor input lag alone would be very noticeable, see https://www.rtings.com/monitor/tests/inputs/input-lag

 

I wish I knew what you are referring to re 100ms input lag. Atari 2600 pong perhaps?

 

There is an absolute technological chasm between DLSS and prior technologies, and the artifacts are on a different level as well. For example here:

 

DLSS 3 introduced a gigantic quantity of artifacts, which applied together kind of look plausible. In the example above the algorithm invented some cloud reflactions it assumed should be there, the colours are off, the details are blurred etc. but it all looks convincing if you don't know what the raw image looks like. Think of this as deepfakes going wrong. There are lots of other examples involving conjured up/overdone reflections for some reason.

 

Here is an interactive comparison. Shocking!

If the results are to be believed (2x) AMD will win in all resolutions even 4k for pure Rasterization.

They were so far behind in RT that even doubling performance puts them at ~3080 levels...maybe a touch more

DP 2.1 would be a nice kick in the teeth for Nvidia

FSR vs DLSS means nothing to be as I won't be using either.

 

If AMD comes out guns blazing Nvidia is in trouble and that means we'll see the 4090ti much quicker.

Or we'll get a big ole pile of AM5 where it is looking like Intel is going to match the 7950x multi and beat them single with more overclocking capability to boot.

 

I'm hoping AMD brings the thunder big time.

It’s in that DF video. He compares the latency. 
 

 

You can pick and scrutinize all of the reconstruction techniques as I said. ALL of them can have ghosting, artifacts, etc. None of them are yet perfect, but again as I said you really have to be looking for them or bothered by then. 
 

DLSS 1 was worse upon launch as was DLSS 2. Early days for the tech, and improvements are sure to come. For now I’ll enjoy getting double the frames and all the smoothness it comes with. 
 

As said in the DF video, around 80fps is where the perfect frame, AI, perfect frame smoothness becomes completely believable and smooth. When I’ve been playing flight sim 2020 I have yet to notice any issues. 
 

Just drove over and picked up a FE 4090 from Best Buy. Will likely be selling my 90 Ti for it. Feeling lucky to have gotten the secret buy link. 
 

 

 

This is total system latency. Why would we be comparing monitor latency? Again how did we ever play with almost triple the latency of DLSS 3?

You keep referring to some DF video, although you haven't provided a link recently.

Monitor latency is a component of the total system latency. 10ms is deemeed significant for one and therefore any component of the total latency by a major and fairly sophisticated review site, and this is in reference to the impact on the overall latency as perceived by the user. Again, highly subjective and dependent on the relevant user reaction time/sensitivity to some extent. All good as long as neither the extra latency nor the artifacts detract from the user experience.

 

Well done scoring a 4090!

 

Edit: BTW DLSS artifacts are not just showing up in between frames, since the two "master" frames are also DLSSed, so some of the artifacts and the loss of quality are permanent and very visible in many cases (rather than just imperceptible flickers between two perfect frames).

Putting the FE in my living room rig hooked up to an OLED 4K 120 G-Sync TV. After seeing the performance of the 4090 and getting the opportunity to buy a second at MSRP, I took it. Haven't set it up quite yet though so can't comment on it's quality, I'm sure it's fine. All of them are going to be within a few fps of each other anyways this gen. 

 

I'm headed to MC in the AM, they're opening a bit early and should hopefully be able to snipe 1. They have it for $650.

Haha etern4l and talon... I have to say yeah 10ms is what I heard also no human would notice or be bothered by a loss of 10ms...human reactions can be around 230ms ...check out my thread how fast are you reaction test..I also checked out GeForce now with my new internet at 60ms ping vs the 6ms before and literally noticed no difference...on paper anything can be argued but when it comes to the experimentation or use of..well that's technically all that matters when it comes to gaming

Hope they manage to stay in business after the falling out with Nvdia, and maybe come out with a PSU with native 12VHPWR if not PCIe 3.0 support. Of course, according to Jensen, his pal EVGA owner is just wanting to close shop, nothing to do with Nvidia specifically 

I am not 100% sure we are talking about the same thing, but I do see low temp throttling in practice as well. So annoying. In case the GPU is lightly loaded, say < 20% the clocks dial down to sometimes as low as 50-60% of max. This is despite max performance power mode being set in both Windows and Nvidia control panel. If anyone is aware of a workaround, I would be grateful.

The fact that Jensen said it makes it hard to believe for me. He's not someone that I would consider a reliable source of information. I don't think EVGA is going anywhere, just excused themselves from the GPU business. I think EVGA's statement on the matter is the one worth believing.

 

You can circumvent the silly dynamic clocking baloney using EVGA Precision X1. Click the button to lock in full boost clock regardless of GPU load. I think it is better than Afterburner for most things.
