Quantum computers may not be the answer

Top boffins who have been looking under the bonnet of Quantum computers are starting to think that they may not be the future of computing. David Gross at the Institute for Mathematical Physics in Braunschweig, Germany, states that most quantum states are too entangled to be of any use as a computer.

much like parallelism, except you would re-direct the randomness as, let's say, the "innate math" to create particle effects or smoke or small bumps on rendered skin without using any "conscious" processing power. I also thought you could possibly even store the random events for usage at a later date.

Well, I guess I need to read a little more about it.

Yeah, I had much hope for quantum processing as the next step once we reach the physical limit of matter for making our current chips.
Which is quite soon btw:

If these boffins are correct, then that really sucks :(.

Actually, research into graphene transistors may extend the lifetime of current CPU designs by quite a bit: http://physicsworld.com/cws...

IBM researchers reckon they could construct a gate of length 50nm that comfortably operates over 1thz.

Kakkoii6179d ago (Edited 6179d ago )

I said the physical limit of matter. Graphene falls under the catagory of "matter" lol. I know all to well about graphene and carbon nanotubes. Around the 11nm stage is working on that scale. Graphene is merely proposed because current CMOS tech and materials can't really hold up very well at 16nm and below.

I'm talking about once we have chips made of graphene, carbon nanotubes and custom molecular structures. You can't really go any smaller than molecules/atoms, lol. (Atleast not with our current understanding of physics. But there's already been a molecular logic gate .

EasySMX D05 review

You can get Hall effect controllers slightly cheaper, but you'd struggle to find as feature-rich a package without some heavy, heavy sales.

"It's Just So Lame" - RTGI Modder Thinks DLSS 5 Is Impressive But Shares AI Slop Sentiment

Pascal Gilcher calls DLSS 5 impressive but shares the "AI slop" sentiment, explaining the likely tech behind it and why he dislikes it.

I fail to see how this is AI shhhhlllloooop. Looking at the different games they showed, this has made many of them look far better.

isarai_lee31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

It's AI slop because it ignores the artists intent and changes the details ESPECIALLY when it comes to character faces. The scariest part of it is introducing it as the next stage of DLSS, a feature where the current iteration already has controversy surrounding it and for quite a lot of games cannot be fully disabled. So reasonably the precident is already set for what path this could take, and it's not good

blacktiger31d ago

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost and so on. Many of the lighting deletes shadow, including shadow on the face like eyes even chin.

Chard30d ago

Why stop at art when it comes to human input - why not just have AI play the game for us, remove human input altogether

theshizer31d ago

If you don’t like it, just don’t enable it. Personally I think it looks great from the videos I have seen.

isarai_lee31d ago

And what about when you can't? Cause there's plenty of games where you cannot fully disable dlss already, i mean we're well into an era where it's a major crutch for developers to cover up their cut corners, why would this be any different?

blacktiger31d ago

You are playing with people's money and allow Nvidia to scam you.

In case you didn't watch the video then let me point just one part. It overrides the lighting. Then the question of what is the point of ray tracing cost. This is all lie to raise the cost of the graphic card.

Making characters look more realistic not ok because we want the developer to decide on how the game was intended to look. - Internet

Change entire game through mods thus changing how the developers intended the game to be is ok. - Internet

isarai_lee31d ago

Something consumers can do to a product after they have purchased it, entirely optional and can always be undone with a fresh install

VS

The leading gaming hardware manufacturer making this the next iteration of the main AA/Upscaling technique that is heavily relied upod by modern devs and is not optional in most games.

Not at all the same but nice try

jwillj2k431d ago

At the moment you need 2 5090’s just to get an image on the screen so this is all vaporware until proven otherwise.

Andrew33631d ago

The good news is you can just not use it as well.

Christopher30d ago

It's all about choice in the end. But, I would say that calling it 'more realistic' is quite a stretch. It looks like AI art, and that's rarely realistic.

Urrakia3431d ago

All the comments I see are reminding me of how we got to the current state of gaming when microtransactions were first introduced: "It's completely optional guys, we promise! If you don't like it just don't buy it!"

I think we all know how that ended up.

Popsicle31d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I had the same exact thought the first time this was brought up in a separate article about a week ago. Took me straight back to the conversations surrounding “horse armor.” Just don’t buy it they said. Years later, many IPs I previously enjoyed are so infected with monetization schemes that I don’t even consider purchasing them anymore.

DLSS 5 and the like are the same thing wrapped in a different package. History rhymes but many of us never learn from it.

blacktiger31d ago

Biggest Scam. Overrides lighting and shadow. So why keep Ray tracing? It's all a scam to raise graphic card. We now see Nvidia with Microsoft downturn anything against them. Sony is next!
