NVIDIA Reveals Secret Weapon Behind DLSS Evolution: Dedicated Supercomputer Running for Six Years

[Vayra86]

I am wondering if running the optimization locally means that the driver will upload these optimizations to Nvidia servers for aggregating the improvements.
Which effectively would be kind of moving the calculations they had to manage within their infrastructure to the clients now.
That would be a lot of off-loading (time and money saving) for Nvidia. Not sure if clever in evil-way or not

Well yeah, then you are literally mining for Nvidia They're not going to pay you dividends, so that would be dirty AF.

But of course they'll try to sell that differently. You're helping games improve!

I think one of the biggest issues here, and I never see it mentioned, is that implementations like the one Nvidia is using detailed in this article, basically create a runaway effect with respect to competition. Nvidia is basically leveraging it's unparalleled resources to exponentially accelerate the gulf between them and AMD/Intel, and because their competitors do not have that level of resources, they will perpetually be "behind" and they'll never be able to catch up.

Now, what I'm about to say could be wrong, I don't have expert knowledge of how GPUs are designed, but it seemed like 20 years ago, if you had a brilliant individual or a few of them, you could compete because in the end, every company is more or less working with and is limited by, the same tool: the human brain.

Now, with machine learning and AI, that limitation has been breached, and it has basically turned into an arms race with who can amass the most compute power. In a reality wholly shaped by the dictates of capitalism and the profit motive, the competition has basically been reduced to who can buy the most hardware. It then basically turns into a positive feedback loop: Nvidia has the most resources so they have access to more compute power, this compute power let's them create faster products, the products sell more and Nvidia gets more resources....repeat. With the use of AI/ML in the design process, I feel like Nvidia has literally gained an insurmountable advantage and it will never be "corrected" by market forces.

Nah, conceptual things only get discovered once, and then we all copy them, and that's that. Look at FSR4. That's also why its folly to be paying for proprietary bullshit. Just wait. It'll come. And if it won't, it simply will not survive.

Maybe AMD will run GPT-4 on a supercomputer to write them some drivers

I've been wondering for a while if eventually every game will be an AI model running on the GPU that takes the player's input as a "prompt" and outputs the game's visuals realtime. Eventually everything could be procedurally generated, assuming AI will be able to write a captivating story as opposed to just outputting visuals. Just take the "one to rule them all" model and prompt it for what the game should be like.

The required processing power would be madness but if AI eventually surpass hupans in every area...

maybe there will be some further evolution, but it’s become pretty clear what was written by ai and what was written by a real person after being exposed To it for a good while now.
especially if it’s about a topic I’m at home at.

i think it’s going to become very bland very quickly playing ai generated stories.
