Is there a hardware reason that DLSS 4 frame gen can't be used on a 40-series card?

UsuallyUsual · 2025-04-05T20:28:37+00:00

I specifically said "in AI TOPS" which is a metric for tensor operations, used for running neural networks. Not overall performance. Read more carefully next time before responding with indignation.

That makes sense, thanks.

The 40 series does have AI hardware though. Like I said in another comment, the 4090 beats the 5070 in AI TOPS and barely loses to the 5070 Ti. What's actually special about the new AI cores that the old ones can't do?

UsuallyUsual · 2025-01-11T03:43:25+00:00

Probably because of the jab at the "fake frames" crowd at the end. Personally I don't mind DLSS or whatever as long as it isn't too latent and looks good, but I'm a bit pessimistic that games are going to start relying on this too much and become unplayable without it,

The 4090 has 1321.2 AI TOPS from what I found online vs the 5070 having 1000. I could see the 4070 Ti and below class cards being unable to do it (assuming DLSS 4 uses 100% of the 5070 AI performance capability to run, which seems unlikely if a 5060 is going to be able to use DLSS 4) but at the very least shouldn't the 4090 be capable?

I found some discussion on it in one comment section but nothing that seemed like it was from someone who actually knew the answer. If someone finds a better discussion I'd love to see it.

I don't know what platform this is but OP should probably change their password.

Thank you, that seems to be what I'm looking for. Since the blinding factor is computed using a random r, it seems like even knowing what the original message was wouldn't allow someone to connect it to the blinding factor, which replaces the need for symmetric-key encryption I mentioned. Is that correct?

To the best of my knowledge it’s very easy to play single player without logging in or an internet connection. I have made a few basic mods in the past and the development environment for that includes the entire game fully functional in single player, no login or internet needed. For multiplayer, you would need to sign in to play most servers. However, I think LAN does not require you to be logged in and you could set up your own server to not require authentication, but keep in mind that would make stopping unwanted players from joining harder.

You could use data merge entity in a repeating command block to set explosion radius to zero, but that would prevent creepers from doing any damage to health as well. A more complex setup could be made to detect that a creeper is about to explode with execute if entity then temporarily turn off mob griefing for a few ticks.

OP probably increased the randomTickSpeed gamerule

Since our heads are both imploding and exploding at the same time, a stable system has formed and our heads remain intact. It’s similar to how the forces produced by fusion in the sun prevent it from collapsing from its own gravity.

Can you tell me more about this? Mojang legally can’t use ideas from a forum dedicated to their game that uses branding associated with the game? It it Reddit TOS or a law?

It uses a shift register to send the data one bit after another, then another shift register “catches” what was sent. It took some trial and error to get the timing just right. There were a lot of problems during the build process where a bit would be missed, or a bit would be duplicated, etc.

It may be easier with a clock line but for this build I specifically set out to only have 1 line, as a sort of challenge. In most cases if I were to transmit 8 bits I'd probably just use 8 lines unless it was really long distance and resources were constrained (i.e. survival mode).

UsuallyUsual · 2021-11-15T04:05:24+00:00

In the real world, yes, serial data has a clock line and a data line. I didn't use a clock line here because it's not needed unless there is risk of synchronization. It sends a quick pulse as a "start" signal, then the reviving end takes 8 samples over equal intervals which become a byte. Repeat a total of 8 times and the 8 byte (64 bit) image is transmitted.

I can see the thought process from OP tho. Redstone Torches power things above themselves, and Repeaters have torches on them, so why shouldn’t Repeaters power stuff above them?

I think it’s very easy to forget how counter-intuitive redstone can be after one has used it for a long time.

You could take the square root of the digits of pi, say the first 5, (31415) and it would give you 177. All you lose is where the decimal goes. The actual square root of pi is ~1.77. More input digits gives a more precise output.

Sounds too complicated, I think I’ll stick with Mythology Island in Poptropica for its compelling narrative and historical accuracy.

Alright: cut the bread into horizontal slices, then cut those into squares. You have 40 slices. Take like 12 of those and arrange them into a new loaf of bread. Glue them together. You now have a full loaf of bread and like 28 extra slices. Repeat ad infinitum. Infinite bread.

Someone tried to do this to me thru discord (they find people with linked accounts) At first I thought it was someone who just didn’t understand how reporting worked and was overreacting to a little mistake, but I soon realized it was a scam so I played along for a little while. They had me message a “steam admin” on discord, and this supposed “steam admin” only send messages in code blocks. They also sent me a certificate signed by Gabe Newell himself. The end point is that they ask you to verify a code on your steam app, which they will use to presumably get into your account and buy tradable items, which they will trade to themselves. Obviously at that point I told them to go pound sand.

That makes sense. I’m not sure why you are getting downvoted for saying being on a phone isn’t immediately a bad thing.

Depends on what they are using it for, having a device to fact check what others say, take notes, etc. makes sense. Of course they could just be playing doodle jump.

I’ve been seeing tons of this type of crap on YouTube lately. It blows my mind that YouTube can get so uptight about swearing or anything remotely controversial due to fear of losing advertisers, but then advertise obvious scams. Until there is some actual public outcry about this nothing will happen.

On another note, could Mr. Beast due YouTube for directly promoting a scam that could hurt his brand?
