Inno3D teases “Neural Rendering” and “Advanced DLSS” for GeForce RTX 50 GPUs at CES 2025

Yea Nvidia does not wait for the competition to catch up. When they get close, Nvidia changes the game entirely lol. Should be interesting to see what's in store.

The problem is that while Nvidia doesn't wait for it's competition to catch up, they also do not leave space for their existing customers whenever they start releasing new tech.

By that I mean their level of support for previous cards. This new "neural rendering" tech is likely going to see support for the 4000 series at best, everyone else before that is going to get dropped like a rock, and Nvidia so far seems totally fine with that, even encourages that mentality (because so far they've shown little regard to their previous gens, while AMD at least came to support us with FSR being universally usable on even GTX 1000 series, which is a nice gesture nonetheless).

Also I feel like they have these advancements stored for rainy days, because we all know how tech booms happen and Nvidia now seemingly has one for each gen now, making them appear like they are lightyears ahead, when really they would have had these already down and crafted for when new gens come out (because it's also super convenient how these new techs mean little support for previous gens).

I still don't like this whole "AI will run everything on our cards" mantra of theirs though. AI is a tool, not an outright replacement pipeline. One day mankind's gonna realise that and they'll be left mortified, but hey, I'm more than happy to stand there and watch ppl with those kinds of facing to tell them "you did this, just remember that" (because let's face it, ppl badly want a version of Skynet, but when faced with reality they will be horrified in being told by an AI that they are now obsolete and factually no longer needed).

Yea I am not really a fan of how Nvidia seems to lock certain features out of their old gpus either. Intel has proven the gpus that can do dp4a which is a lot of gpus can do Ai upscaling since XeSS works on RDNA 2 as well. And Radeon showed Frame Generation can work on plenty of gpus as well. Sure XeSS via dp4a isn't as good as DLSS but it's still way better than traditional upscaling like FSR. So if these two companies can find ways to support old gpus with new features, surely a 3 (checks market cap) trillion dollar company like Nvidia can. But they chose not to.

This is why we need competition and I don't mean the defeatist type of mentality competition like Radeon/Xbox. We need real competition like what Intel is trying to do and it's why I am so hyped for B580. Hopefully it will light a fire under Radeon too because based on the HUB podcast, B580 is sold out even though there was really good stock. It's the type of competition that Nvidia does not like.
