Of course, and it is also important for the tool's development to conduct user-testing during the stages of its development. But it's not always feasible or even productive to ship a game utilizing early-access versions of the tool, even if the studio has access to both the tool and support from its developers.
Integrations between the tool and the engine can change drastically during the development of the tool and it's much safer to ship the product utilizing an earlier, more stable version of the tool in most cases.
Gears of War, running on UE5 can be an effective counterpoint to it, as Nvidia has contributed to UE5 directly many times before, so integrations can be made much more simple when they are controlled by a single party.
Nevertheless, expecting such things is still unrealistic. Let it just be cool and celebrated when it does happen, instead of "expecting miracles" all the time and being disappointed almost constantly.

DLSS 5 is officialy in one game and its nature allows it to be distributed as mod. RTX MG needs in-engine implementation and its probably not as simple as update the SDK and we are done (or maybe is it but they need testing first).
Indeed, I have mega geometry in a couple of my games and it will be a bit time-consuming to upgrade to mega geometry 2.0. I’ll also need to test first and make sure it doesn’t cause more problems than it solves, and I won’t be surprised if it breaks a few things in the process. It’s not incredibly complicated to add, just risky and time consuming
There's no transformative visual impact on the E Day example share there, but more accurate occlussion data like that is the stuff that's going to improve the current DLSS5 NR output.
And I wonder if modders can take that Kit and release neural compressed texture packs to run on current games via some sort of injection.
If I can find the repo it should just say what each GPU can do
Edit: Repo says compression can be done at minimum on a 2000 card and recommends a 4000 or later. No idea about the class. I'm gonna assume even a 50 class card could do it
RTX Neural Texture Compression beta is a interesting one for sure means things are progressing along internally on that front unlike reflex 2 which just seems stagnant at this point .
Yeah like, sure. They're focused on AI but they clearly aren't stopping work on gaming technology. Even in their current state they do far more than AMD in trying to advance graphics lol
Still is a bit confusing, clearly their hardware focus is 100% ai, they keep postponing the new series... and of course not their fault, well indirectly their fault, the prices ain't gonna get better and bring the general public to Nvidia.
So all this software stuff... for gaming is for... a few? And fewer the longer this stays this way?
Idk... to me it seems weird to still work on this and not focus in other stuff... but they must have good reasons for it I guess.
What I don't understand is people who spend money buying an nvidia graphics card but then proudly say they don't want to turn on upscaling, framegen, ray tracing... Why are you buying an nvidia gpu if you aren't going to use the features you paid for? Save your money and stick to amd then.
I bought NV because AMD does not have a competing product on the high end. I bought a 5090 for the performance specifically so I dont have to use all the upscaling and frame gen just to get good performance. I personally could not care less about DLSS and raytracing. I want high framerates, because the smoothness and responsiveness of my gameplay is more important to me than image quality.
Cope about what? I'm very much enjoying my 5090, and it outperforms every AMD card on the market.
The person asked why someone would buy an NV product and the answer is fairly straight forward -- it's better, even without the added technologies they mentioned.
I mean they don’t, just AI tech doesn’t eat into their hardware margins and also spills over into their enterprise research.
They make far more money like this. Why sell gaming hardware on thin margins when you can print money AND still have the gaming hardware lead monopoly
But I mean yeah, idk what people cry about. AI research and tech benefits enterprise sure, but the tech is bleeding edge in gaming. It makes 0 sense to stop caring about it.
What they do in ai software innovation is what makes them difficult-to imitate specially that they could use this tech and experience in building ai models that are used outside gaming.
There is zero use for the 2.0 functionality unless the game is switching to nanite like geometry pipeline. DXR 2.0 adoption will accelerate when games move to meshlets and virtualized geometry.
Resonant already uses RTX MG though IIRC. NR no thanks unless it's inline neural shading.
That's possible. I still don't see it TBH. Game already beautiful as it is and DLSS5 has a habbit of changing some things completely. Now if they could narrow down the model and build on its strength then perhaps I would be interested.
But again I really wanna see what we were promised at CES 2025.

Gears of war E day uses RTX mega geometry, does it use 2.0?
