The literal word doesn't have to be there in order to imply that it were extrapolation instead of interpolation. By your logic, there is no implication of interpolation versus extrapolation either. Nvidia simply won't use such terms, I believe.

They did specify [0] that it was intermediate frames they were generating back when the 1st version frame generation was announced with DLSS 3, which does translate to interpolation. It's only natural to assume MFG is the same, just with more than a single intermediate frame being generated. It is also just plain unsound to think that it'd not be interpolation - extrapolating frames into the future means inevitably t…

Many American homes already have 240V sockets (eg: NEMA 14-30) for running clothes dryers, car chargers, etc. These can provide over 7200W continuous power! I guess PC power supplies need to start adopting this standard.

You can't use a NEMA 14-30 to power a PC because 14-30 outlets are split-phase (that's why they have 4 prongs - 2 hot legs, shared neutral, shared ground). To my knowledge, the closest you'll get to split-phase in computing is connecting the redundant PSU in a server to a separate phase or a DC distribution system connected to a multi-phase rectifier, but those are both relegated to the datacenter. You could get an e…

If anyone thinks they are having laggier controls or losing latency off of single frames I have a bridge to sell them. A game running at 60 fps averages around ~16 ms and good human reaction times don’t go much below 200ms. Users who “notice” individual frames are usually noticing when a single frame is lagging for the length of several frames at the average rate. They aren’t noticing anything within the span of an a…

you’re conflating reaction times and latency perception. these are not the same. humans can tell the difference down to 10ms, perhaps lower. if you added 200ms latency to your mouse inputs, you’d throw your computer out the of the window pretty quickly.

This years founders edition is what I really want from a GPU. Stop wasting my 2nd PCIe slot because you've made it 3.5/4 slots BIG! It is insane that they are now cooling 575W with two slots in height.

My theory is this is one of the ways nvidia is trying to force ML users to buy the $$$$$ workstation cards. Can't put four 4090s into your PC if every 4090 is 3.5 slots!

I wonder if they will start putting lithium batteries in desktops so they can draw higher peak power.

There's a company doing that for stovetops, which I found really interesting ( https://www.impulselabs.com )! Unfortunately, when training on a desktop it's _relatively_ continuous power draw, and can go on for days. :/
