… It sounds a bit like a generative AI video model that can be directly controlled by developers, instead of just AI prompts. NVIDIA, never shy from self-aggrandizing, claims DLSS 5 is also the "biggest breakthrough in computer graphics" since real-time ray tracing arrived in 2018. …
… Today, AMD announced that it will start at $3,999 with Ryzen AI Max 300 CPUs, and we can also look forward to a future model with new Ryzen AI Max 400 chips, as well. …
… AI is also helping with hair animation, with models fed videos of real hairstyles and then outputting images with "hundreds of strands" modeled. "As AI capabilities evolve, the role of our creators will remain unchanged," Nishino said. …
… There was plenty of suspicion around DLSS's original AI upscaling model, as well as the "fake" frames generated by later iterations. But the few demos we've seen of DLSS 5 basically look like "yassified" AI filters for popular games. …
… The company said that multiple institutions including Ai2, ETH Zurich, Stanford Robotics Center and UC San Diego will use the reference design. …
… AMD trickling down its tech sounds a bit more straightforward than rival NVIDIA's deployment of its upscaling strategy. DLSS 4 was made available on all RTX GPUs last year, but features like multi-frame generation are only available on newer models.
… Rather, the DLSS 4.5 feature uses AI to create interpolated intermediate frames the machine "thinks" should be there. Normally this works fine, but the scheme can create odd artifacts in certain types of scenes, particularly with fine details like rain, hair and phone wires. …
