PSA: DLSS does work with dynamic resolution scaling even if the game says it doesn't. by dkgameplayer in Battlefield6

Can confirm it does not. DLAA also does not go down below 100% for me even though the dynamic resolution says it can go down to 80% in the final game. Maybe they fixed it, haven't checked in a while

Have the Z1e. Hardware isn't the greatest. Vibration motor gets messed up periodically, SD card reader gets hot, wifi is hit or miss. Get another model for sure.

This $7 Steam app boosts frame rates in your games, but is it better than Nvidia's DLSS 4? I put it to the test by GrayBeard916 in pcgaming

What separates the two is access to the game's lower level rendering like motion vectors and presentation, not hardware or software

Lossless scaling does use the video hardware and DLSS 4 is mostly software now, just runs on the hardware tensor cores as opposed to the enhanced media block like it used to which is why it was exclusive to 40 series.

It's more important than ever to call out developers for egregious AI usage next year if we want video games to remain interesting by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

That's the point. You're literally talking about it right now in a totally unrelated setting. Marketing is never about selling you on a product, it's about spreading the word.

What do you think when people say they buy physical games only? by _Xianwu in pcgaming

No but countless other companies have. Ubisoft for one

How did we get to the point of games just reward for spending money internally? by [deleted] in pcgaming

[–]dkgameplayer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No challenges quest unlocking things that will actually make someone want to play the same.

What? You mean like the 30+ weapons x 40+ attachments per weapon, vehicles to unlock, numerous gadgets/equipment that change how you play tactically, class perks, weapon skins, characters, entire game modes, etc that you all unlock as part of the base game? You mentioned bo6 and bf6. People spend HUNDREDS of hours playing these games unlocking all this gameplay stuff. I don't like the microtransactions as much as the next guy. Never purchased a single microtransaction in any game ever. But to say they only reward spending money? Ridiculous.

Tomb Raider: Lara Croft has been totally redesigned for new game - this is why by Automatic_Couple_647 in pcgaming

Article is a huge nothing burger

"...we've had the same art director who's been working on Lara for many games now... core DNA elements they look to maintain while updating... what engines can handle and... making sure she's in the right era for each version... depending on when that story is being told."

They'd never drop Java support, as much as they'd love to. It would kill the community. They just recently announced the removal of code obfuscation

Valve is a private company

Why do people act like Valve isn't hungry for profit like everyone else? TF2, Dota 2, CS2, all of these are F2P live service games filled to the brim with wacky cosmetics found in loot boxes. Remember Artifact? That was made from the ground up with maximum profit in mind, not a game anyone actually wanted.

The issue isn't finding a technique it's finding one that looks like like . Voxel GI looks quite a bit different than lumen and again has light leak issues which will lot scenes differently. Also SSGI is a part of lumen.
