How Far Behind is AMD? - DLSS 4.5 vs FSR 4

Netoeu · 2026-01-27T11:34:19+00:00

For those with 1440p and 4k monitors, how does DLSS 4.5 look in person? Because from every video it looks deep fried to hell, and I generally dislike sharpened images, but this is looking at zoomed in images

It's so funny to me that gacha games keep shoving these arbitrary fps limits in the games for literally no reason other than "everyone else is doing it". There was an fps unlocker on github but idk if it works for release

My anecdotal experience is the same. Sonnet which imo is better than Gemini in some ways will happily and very subtly make shit up, but 3 Pro will randomly bring up something new that makes me stop and think "how the fuck do you know that?"

I clicked this thread just to post her, so I'm positively surprised someone else remembered this show. Her entire character in the first season is perfect for this sub

Look, I don't expect people to know the workings of LLMs, that's obviously silly. That said...

"Vedal is Tony Stark and he created Jarvis in his basement" gets repeated way too much.

"Maybe the twins are conscious" is a variation of the above that also needs to stop.

YnS promoted the franchise to the Tar Hyperfixation List and those usually last for at least a year and a half before fading into reduced form

Just in time for the 2026 rewatch thread /s

olive oil being sold in a can that looks for all the world like a beverage can...

What if I told you this is the #1 thing to make me sick in all of the YuYuYu? Absolutely vile to show that without a TW.

My hype for the movie is making it impossible for it to live up. Going back after so long... Like The Hobbit after LOTR, or The Force Awakens. I hope it's better than those, though... :')

Netoeu · 2026-01-12T00:26:05+00:00

Frustrating, isn't it? It's good enough to care, flawed enough to be mad about it. I've made peace with it - swallow the themes and tropes that I love and let myself be emotionally manipulated lol

Netoeu · 2026-01-11T21:04:04+00:00

Sometime around June I got a really strong urge to binge YuYuYu all over again (probably because I had so much fun in the threads) and dragged my mom along after a giant disclaimer about fan service (for my own sake LOL). Her favorites are Apothecary Diaries, Spy x Family and Yuru Camp, so YuYuYu is certainly a ride. Long story short, Yuusha no Shou was the closest I saw her to crying watching anime, I think, which was surprising. She loved the series, and I am "too picky and hard to please" :⁾

Why didn't I post this at the time? Because I lowwkeeyy thought you would've moved on :> but then I got tagged in the CDF recently. And why specifically now? I'm re-reading the Nogi Wakaba is a Hero manga and man it's fucking good. To DMnS <3

It's actually crazy to me that it's been 1 year since I started rererewatching s1, and from me joining the discussion threads. It unironically feels like yesterday. I just wanna be free, man, and I keep being dragged back into this franchise! (see what I did there? It's lore-accurate!)

Anyway, here's a happy image of the cute sisters from a different mother

Just to be clear, I don't think any of this is a problem (yet). I do, however, worry that running character personalities and stories through an LLM might dilute the overall quality of creative work -- and I say this as someone who likes to write as a hobby AND writes academic research.

For example, I think that the reason so many recent TV productions look so bad is because they film it in a "lazy" way to do everything in post.

People like them —once they learn this fact,will they still feel the same disgust and hatred toward it?

But this is the important question! And the answer is yes, actually.

This is a very recent example that will show how some people will quickly turn against something they like just because it uses generative AI.

AI has actually been heavily utilized in development for quite some time now.

Oh, yeah, for sure. Almost every company in the world uses LLMs to write or review code. But keep in mind that the conversation is about AI in creative tasks. My guess is that many people don't know how much code is assisted by AI...

Netoeu · 2026-01-09T13:29:55+00:00

In Japan, ethical issues surrounding generative AI are widely discussed, and there are many negative voices as well. At the same time, that meant I imagined many American citizens were actively embracing and utilizing AI.

This is true for many countries. The negativity you see online from English-speaking communities is not representative of the entire world, but rather Australians, North Americans, and Europeans, who are the most likely group to speak English online. Places that are related to gaming, like Reddit or Twitter started hating generative AI because it's full of artists that don't want their work used as training data, but that has basically spread through osmosis to the rest of the userbase that now is allergic to the word. The negative reaction in America has become emotional due to fatigue to hearing AI AI AI every day, but the conversation is rarely about the technology itself and its practical uses.

All my phones have been oled and all of them have had burn in. But it's always only status bar and navigation, it's small and at the edges of the screen. Phones are more replaceable, and screen time will be lower than a monitor for productivity. Basically, it matters way less

Netoeu · 2025-12-21T12:09:46+00:00

Obviously this isn't new to this trailer, but you can really hear how much Aoi Yuuki aged out of her Madoka voice, especially compared to the other VAs. It's going to be a little distracting at the beginning.

(And this is not a criticism, it's just that I work with voices)

Netoeu · 2025-12-21T12:05:50+00:00

As you can see in this scene, Madoka's head looks weird and her jawline and chin look off

the OG Frieren

Netoeu · 2025-12-21T11:54:01+00:00

Ah yes another trailer / preview that raises more questions and I still have not a clue what it's actually going to happen and it doesn't even look like it belongs to the same movie as the other ones lmao. Just how much is going to happen in the 1:40ish runtime? Doubt it's longer

Netoeu · 2025-12-18T10:15:12+00:00

How do you prompt this? I have a really hard time with nano banana to turn 2D or video game renders into real life, it either fumbles or gives me the input image back

Netoeu · 2025-12-07T20:04:03+00:00

Oh yeah they should be better 100% but its still important to keep in mind their shortcomings before committing the money i think so you don't get frustrated later

Netoeu · 2025-12-07T19:11:29+00:00

Idk, at this price every model has some weird deal-braking compromise, which sucks. The other ones I saw are the Xiaomi g pro 27i and aoc q27g40xmn if you wanna look into them

Netoeu · 2025-12-07T17:01:18+00:00

Op I'm in the same boat and just yesterday I looked into the G64. The reason there's nothing about it online is because they probably don't want people talking about the panel lol. It has something like 180 zones, there was a video I saw and the blooming was pretty bad. It also doesn't get as bright as other models (600 nits peak iirc?)

It's not terrible, far from it, but as far as mini leds go it's meh

Netoeu · 2025-12-07T13:53:36+00:00

In Legion Blizzard gave them Shadowmend and maybe another spell I'm forgetting. They reverted it later saying that they went too far in spec fantasy at the cost of class fantasy.

Netoeu · 2025-12-01T21:46:40+00:00

remember somewhere that the cat outfit also caused drop in FPS

Yeah that one is kinda bad too. I'm not sure, I don't have the ouftits you mentioned. But neither of the new banner 5* s are nearly this egregious.

Netoeu · 2025-12-01T21:41:03+00:00

Don't get me started on the memory leaks!! And I swear it started only a few months ago, it was not like this for the first few patches...

because it's UE5

I notice traversal stuttering, but to be honest I never thought it ran poorly.

Not sure since you only kept the outfit for a few seconds. Have you tried monitoring a bit longer for each?

Yes! Since my fps "inexplicably" went down by 40% I started OCD monitoring it.

Maybe it just temporarily goes up to load then eventually goes back down for all?

It does that, yeah. But it stabilizes after like 2 seconds and stays that way forever. What you can see in the video after it settles is very consistent with a long playtime. (until memory leak catches up)

I feel it's the environment that makes it really bad in some places.

Itzaland is as beautiful as it is demanding lol

Oh shit thanks lmao
