    I’m both looking forward to, and feel bad for you all, for the future video comparing Auto SR, MetalFX, TSR, XESS, FSR, and DLSS.

    Upscaling tech for my 1080p ( don't see the point though ) gives blur image in almost ( 95% ) in all the new games ... every time i play some new title, i feel like i have cataract issues ... for me personally NATIVE still rules, but the thought that i have to purchase "new tech software" so i can focus on the image instead of the game itself, is a HELL NO ... continuing this trend i see that my "train" it's near the end of the rail ... so in conclusion as Nvidia CEO said "the more they try, the less i buy" ... yep, that's correct :) ... PS: OLDIES RULES !!!

      Upscaling at 1080p sucks. It’s way better at 1440p and beyond.

    Alex, I see you as the John McClane of the PC world, taking down the bad guys and fighting for justice. I have a request that would make me incredibly happy. Could you please do a DF Direct in the future where you start off with a white vest and gradually throughout the show, sneakily change it to gradually darker colours until it is black, just like (other) John McClane from Die Hard? You don't have to crawl through vents or throw a PC down a lift shaft or whisper "Yippy-Ki-Yay Motherfucker!" into a walkie talkie though if you don't want :)

    I'm not sure about the back room politics behind locking this to qualcom chips. Both Intel and AMD also have neural processors in their latest chips. It seems weird when they're pushing their copilot stuff so hard to lock out the majority of windows users.

    • @oo--7714

      The neural processor tops aren’t high enough for auto sr, they were just tacked on as an afterthought on their older chips.

    I find it amusing that AMD was partnering with Microsoft for this same device and touting a 50 TOPS NPU, then Microsoft goes with this ARM based one instead..lol ..the burn.

  • @EmblemParade
    @EmblemParade 2 месяца назад +27

    This is so meh. The big step forward with DLSS was that it integrates with the game's rendering pipeline, so it includes spatial and temporal information as well as the ability to exclude UI layers. Auto SR cannot do any of that.

    • @Magjee

      Yes, but it can work without implementation, which is the benefit. Ex: older game with no ongoing support can use it

    Is this not an evolution of Game Super Resolution thag Qualcomm introduced last year?
    If it is then John can test the effectiveness and quality using his Quest 3 and Virtual Desktop. That App takes the video feed from the desktop VR stream and upscales it on the Quest 3

      It's very useful for games, that doesn't support native upscaling.
      LS1 - cool machine learning upscaler.
      Also it's useful for games without native frame generation, and for games with locked 30/60fps mode, to double FPS.
      LSFG allows to double framerate (and even triple it with the latest update).
      And all of that works on every GPU in any games.
      For me it's very useful.
      Even considering that I'm currently using rtx 4060ti with support of all available upscaling/FG tech, some games doesn't support DLSS/FSR upscale/FG, and that is the case where the Lossless Scaling is shining.
      For example, I'm upscale Kingdom Come Deliverance from 1440p to 4K and get ~80-90fps, instead of 40-50 in native, with almost no visual difference.

      The GPU on the X Elite isn’t very good at all, the new AMD AI 300 (that’s really what it’s called) APUs would be more likely if they were trying to be bleeding edge and need NPU support.
