In letters obtained by Axios, reps blast an “imbalanced Japanese video game market.”
Discover how Sony Interactive Entertainment, Nintendo, and Microsoft continue to collaborate to improve player safety across our platforms.
NVIDIA rolled out the DLSS 4.5 update at CES last week, adding 2nd Gen Transformer-based Super Resolution technology for all RTX GPUs. The performance scaling varies wildly across the older (RTX 20/RTX 30) and newer (RTX 40/RTX 50) GeForce RTX lineups. We tested NVIDIA’s next-gen upscaling solution across Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Oblivion Remastered, and KCD 2.
I've been surprised by this, the difference between 4 and 4.5 is very noticeable. It's almost completely or has removed that weird dark ghosting that you'd get in foggy games like Silent Hill 2... and Cyberpunk mixed with a high res texture pack is jaw dropping in ultra 4k.
Also if anyone doesn't know I recommend DLSS swapper, it allows you to inject the latest DLSS version into older games.
Quite amazing. But, this does probably mean devs will depend on ai even more for their supposed optimizations lol.
no offense to AMD, but this sort of stuff shows that they are always going to be playing catchup. I guess Nintendo can take advantage of some of these features.
With the Switch 2? NVidia can easily lock their proprietary tech to their latest GPUs and the Switch 2 will be stuck on 3.5 for 5 more years at least
4 and 4.5 are available on 2 and 3 series cards right now. The Switch GPU is based on 3 series architecture, meaning it has access to some of those features. Obviously not as much as the higher end cards, but still some.
"Better than native."
Native 4K in nearly all games nowadays is actually native resolution with forced temporal anti-aliasing.
TAA smears and blurs frames together to soften jagged edges.
Of course DLSS makes games look "better than native" because native alone without any competent AA methods makes games look horrible.
LEGO Group and The Pokémon Company International have announced their first ever collection of LEGO Pokémon sets.
So the government is getting in on this now, huh
It's about time somebody is looking into Sony's business practices
Looks like Sony's crying and complaining about MS to the FTC has shifted some unwanted eyes on them.
This is performative and nothing else. Just look at who leads it - Sen. Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and "A letter to Tai and Raimondo from six Democratic lawmakers from Washington state — where Microsoft is based — covers similar ground."
And the questions they rise here aren't at all done by Microsoft in the past either. It's a problem when Sony makes a third-party deal, not when Microsoft does it?
This is just more pressure from Microsoft to try and make Sony look bad so they can get the ABK deal done.
***The Republican letter alleges that Sony PlayStation has 98% of the “high-end console market in Japan,” signs deals designed to keep hit Japanese games from Microsoft’s Xbox, and says such moves “may violate Japan’s antitrust laws.”
"Article 8 of the 2019 U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement calls for the countries to enable “non-discriminatory treatment of digital products” which would include games."***
This doesn't apply to licensing agreements. Otherwise, they're trying to tear down how licensing agreements work and would upend the whole industry for video games, streaming services, and more. It's not discriminatory to make licensing deals. It's discriminatory to overprice content on a competing platform.
By this logic, Sony can't have their own exclusives on their own platform if it comes to the U.S.
This is dumb.
Let alone, they are attempting to remove Nintendo and the PC market as a whole, both of which dwarf the PS market in japan, from the conversation entirely. In the competition for “high-end console market in Japan,” it's only Microsoft and Sony. And it's because of non-discriminatory treatment of digital products that did that? Can Microsoft point to us on the timeline of all consoles sales in Japan where they weren't beaten by Sony entirely at similar levels? Is there a metric where, suddenly, Sony started beating the big contender that was Microsoft in Japan?
Whelp you guys should after nintendo by your logic tbh.
