Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I think this is one of the reasons why Nvidia developed this. First it makes it a "unique" feature of Nvidia hardware, where you rely on. And secondly the huge impact in performance, so you are incentivized to buy new and faster Nvidia hardware. I don't see any other reason why Nvidia would develop this DLSS 5 Ai Slop technology.

This feels like motion smoothing on TVs. It's super unclear why manufacturers put it on since the first thing any sain person does is turn it off. This feels like something similar, I suspect most gamers are just going to turn it off rather than leave it on and buy better hardware especially at the moment.

Bold of you to assume normies can buy this shit. Spending $4000 on a hunk of metal that works slightly better than that $500 hunk of metal you bought 4 years ago doesnt make a whole lot of sense

So don't buy new graphics card then. Same end result you don't have to deal with the AI slop.

Hopefully the AI bubble bursts sometime soon and we can get back to normal. All that needs to happen is governments need to stop subsidising AI companies. Eventually a combination of public pressure and the complete lack of any progress from the companies will cause that to happen.
