Death Stranding PC Tech Review: The Upgrade We've Been Waiting For

Use RTSS to cap your framerate, alternatively Nvidia driver control panel's fps cap also work.
DLSS is the secret sauce made real. Out of interest do you set your native resolution and then enable DLSS?
Asus VG248QE
I love that thing though I moved on from it more recently
Had it dematted and voltage modded for ulmb. With that gsync board it one of the better monitors granted you put up with it's color accuracy.
Any comparisons between DLSS and FidelityFX? According to Arstechnica FidelityFX beat DLSS in terms of performance and IQ but I had my doubts about that so I want to see a proper comparison.
DLSS is not an easy technology to just say "We need this, let's implement it", it takes a lot of time and engineering. Nvidia has invested heavily in the tech. They are years ahead of AMD in this department, hence why you haven't seen anything from AMD or Intel.
Seems smart of them, I just think it's silly to have these newer consoles lose out on frames because of an obsession with resolution. But I obviously am not in the marketing department haha.
Yes they can with ml I believe though it will take them time to get the knack like nvidia.
Yeah it's a pretty terrible monitor when it comes to color haha. But it's honestly not so noticeable unless you compare it side by side to a better display. The brain is quite good at filling in those color gaps. I just haven't been happy with current monitor tech and have been waiting out better displays. If gets DLSS 2.0 gets widespread adoption, I might wait out a 4K display at this point.
I have a Dell 1600p monitor that work has given me through COVID work-from-home so I haven't had as much of a reason to upgrade to a 1440p display at this point. Feels bad spending $600 on a monitor when I can put that towards a 65" 4K display to replace my aging plasma.
I definitly have that. I am just curious about downscaling Resolution.
It's funny you mention this...when I saw the minimum requirements for PC, the first thing that came to mind was GTA V for PC.
There has to be an enhanced version. There has to be. I might be bold and bet on it, lol.
I have a colorimeter it's actually not as bad as it seems once you can adjust it. Only thing I never liked is no service menu that is deep cause adjust certain features even now would be amazing. Mellow blues but god damn the red and greens can pop.
I only made a sidegrade in size not pixel density. DLSS proved me right in that regard native 4k is a waste. At 65" you may as well wait for 8k and get the best immersion experience possible short of apple's impending vr glasses.

Unfortunately, with the G-Sync board, the VG248QE loses all of its adjustments outside of brightness/contrast.
FidelityFX works very, very differently compared to DLSS, and DLSS 2.0 is easily the best image quality enhancement/reconstruction tech by a BIG margin, it's safe to say Nvidia is a generation ahead of everyone else on this.
Didn't Facebook showcase their own supersampling solution even more impressive then DLSS 2 that's working on multiple hardwares, not only Nvidia's, and that's supposedly easy to implement in existing engines? Or do I remember something wrong.
Either way there's no way around it, this technology is one of biggest leaps forward in computer graphics. I fully expect Epic to create their own solution since iirc they said the upcoming UE5 infinite triangle sorcery performance is based on the targeted resolution (something one triangle per pixel something, idk).
I've been putting off playing Witcher 3 til I get me an ultrawide (I'm still rocking a 1920-1080) and I'm thinking about doing the same with Death Stranding. Tho I'm not sure if I manage to wait til mid 2021 when I'll be upgrading.

Hence why you want a service menu not OSD, it's like low level OS access to a TV. You can fuck it up if you don't do it right. Better tvs have factory resets.
its only monitor besides gdm-fw900 I've heavily modified. Was damn worth it.

You are thinking about this. It was not temporally stable at the moment if you watch the videos, but it is impressive how it achieves a 4X scale.
One thing to think about regarding it is how it costs a lot more than DLSS 2.0. DLSS 2.0 is 1.5 miliseconds on an RTX 2080 Ti. That facebook method detailed you mentioned costs 18-24 miliseconds on a Titan V, which has more deep learning performance than an RTX 2080 Ti.
I hope that my 1060 runs it well as KojiPro seems to always give a bit of an overestimate for specs. Looking forward to trying DLSS in the future on a new PC.
Everything sounds great even if it seems they're keeping bigger upgrades for future games (or even a PS5 version).

All I could find on Facebook reconstruction was a blog post about ongoing research for VR games, but no actual implementation available for testing. Do you have a link?
Nevermind Alex commented on this above. 18 to 24 milliseconds on a Titan V doesn't sound good enough for real-time rendering though. I guess it's still early days for them still though.
None.
If this continues, basically we'll be good with RTX 20xx cards for some time.
What is missing other than raytracing?
What did you expect from a PC version?
Many more graphical options to tweak the visuals above and beyond the console version? More customization of things like ambient occlusion than just On/Off? An FOV slider?
So everything is working great for me except sometimes during cutscense the frame rate dips pretty hard, not sure why. I'm using Alex's optimized settings, I have RTX 2080, i9 9900, 32GB RAM. When I'm not running vsync I get 75+ FPS. My GPU is always sitting at around 75% usage so not sure what's going on there.
If you can, wait for Ampere releasing in most likely around 2 months.
Probably will end up holding out for the AIB cards. I remember trying to get a 10 series card at launch and that was brutal. Hopefully Nvidia doesn't take too long to release them.
AMD kinda has the console space locked up so I imagine they're working hard on their own black magic. This kind of stuff makes me happy, though, of doing more with less.
It needs to become a standard, the benefits are absolutely worth whatever development time is needed. I understand that it might be an issue for smaller games but every big game needs to support this feature.
Set your RTSS cap to 24fps and then block out the top and bottom of the video with some tape.
