I heard that i can use dlss on my gtx 1660ti but how?

[ognax]

So i play warzone alot and heard that i can use dlss but there is no option to do that :l, i tried to find dlss in the config.ini but i wasnt able to find it cause its kinda crypted enyone want to help or share how ur config.ini looks like when dlss is enabled so i can figure out what it is in my config.ini

[Levent]

IIRC DLSS is exclusive to RTX cards.

[da na]

DLSS is only available on RTX series cards. Don't know where you heard that but it's only available for 2000 series and newer.

ye but i found that it needs tensor cores and both gtx 1660 and rtx cards have those so why its only rtx exclusive

The 16-series do not have tensor cores at all, which is why you can't use DLSS.

Then why it says that there is 192 tensor cores?

Thats weird

[Pixelfie]

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution should also launch for Nvidia GPU's. It released for AMD's yesterday, but I have no idea when it will release for Nvidia.

not really… who knows what buggy program this is…

 

Id recommend GPU-Z

 

btw afaik, raytracing on non RTX cards = possible 

 

DLSS on non RTX cards  = no

 

Ironically.

[ognax]

anyway thx to all of u and have good summer.  Gotta buy rtx 3080 when its on stock

Ray tracing doesn't require any specific hardware, technically. The key is *accelerated* ray tracing. That requires dedicated cores. Even with the dedicated cores ray tracing is a performance hog, it's virtually impossible to achieve without them. That is the reason ray tracing is exclusive to RTX and  Radeon 6000.

DLSS is AI based, so it requires tensor cores for the matrix calculations. It can't be done without them. As for why whatever program this is tells you it has some tensor cores, who knows, but it's wrong.

its not exclusive, that was my point.

The most common use of DXR so far is to add reflections and shadows to games. Nvidia’s earliest demo workhorse was Battlefield V, which only uses DXR for reflections. And that’s one of the implementations that could run OK on GTX cards.

At 1440p with ultra DXR, you’ll get 30 frames per second with a GTX 1080 Ti. Of course, the 1060 is only going to get 12 fps. You can definitely boost performance by lowering DXR and running at 1080p, but this is just about comparisons. In all of these charts, you’ll see that the RTX cards are significantly faster, but here the RTX is “only” 2.3-times faster than the 1080 Ti.

"30fps" @ "ultra" 

 

dlss however is exclusive to "rtx" cards , and also the bigger deal imo.

Probably and old version of AIDA64 because it show WDDM1.3

That's not correct, there's nothing actually limiting DLSS from running on CUDNN, in fact Controls implementation wasn't running on Tensor cores at all, I'm not sure if that's still the case, but practically neither DLSS nor RTRT require hardware that would accelerate them in one way or another.
As for why nVidia has chosen to limit DLSS (RTRT actually runs on GTX1060 6GB and above unless the game dev artificially limits them out) to RTX GPU's, well the main reason is sales, they want to sell more of their high end GPU's, if nVidia was to release the source code of their DLSS technology, I'm willing to bet that there'd be people that get it to run on a pretty wide variety of hardware, the question though is how big of an impact it would be over playing at native resolutions.

[Middcore]

Control's initial DLSS implementation was not really DLSS in the current, more mature sense of the technology. It didn't actually use the tensor cores, and also wasn't very good.

And it continues to not be… I got the game for free from epic store, and not only is it really boring and generic, it also looks pretty bad - kinda like a early PS3 game (although thats kinda insulting because  something like Heavenly Sword, a PS3 launch title, still looks *amazing* today)

Not really on-topic though.

This is why you go RTX 2060 over the 1660 series & 5700 series from Radeon. In DLSS titles it ends up pwning both.

You go with what you can afford. And with AMD releasing FSR, those older cards should see an extended life.

Not really the topic of the thread, but I don't agree. At release the 2060 was overpriced compared to various new and used cards that would perform the same or better in rasterization. It couldn't actually handle ray tracing well enough to give a good experience. DLSS was not at all a compelling feature at the time, and even today it's only implemented in a handful of games, and that's to say nothing of what FSR could be.

 

I speak from experience because in mid 2019 I made the mistake of replacing the 1080 I owned at the time with a 2060.

Yeah I owned a 5700 XT back then and was glad tyo see the back of that trash moving to Nvidia, a year of nothing but black screens even after new drivers dropped and AMD mentioning they fixed it.

 

No issues ever since.

I used a 5700 for a year and never had the slightest problem with it, nor have I had a single reason to complain about the 6800 I have now. 

 

Anecdotes!
