Of course they are valuable. But corporations will always prioritize that which generates value for themselves.
What good are those massive improvements to gaming cards when GPU costs spiral into the multiple thousands of dollars and become completely unavailable to 98% of gamers? 'Cause institutional buyers have no qualms dropping $20k per card, and that will inflate the market to an insane degree. Jensen knows this and will happily kick individual consumers right into the firepit.
Huh? They don’t have a monopoly in any space, and have significant competitors. And I don’t really see how they are slowing down innovation. I think it’s fair to say that Nvidia are investing significanly in R&D, and is driving innovation more than anyone else in the industry for the moment.
When I first discovered DLSS/FSR, I thought it was a miracle. It allowed my antient PC to run Horizon : Zero Dawn reasonably well.
Then I tried it on the steamdeck, just to be shocked how horrible it looks. Turns out the magic ingredient was my myopia. I just couldn’t see the imperfections while sitting 2 meters away from the TV.
Steam Deck is also only an 800p screen, so using DLSS/FSR will render the game even lower than that. Basically the upscaling just works better at higher resolutions since it has more data to use. And like you said, definitely better for farther viewing distances too.
