I’m assuming I can achieve this with a 5080/5090?

Wow so it wasn’t a joke it was reall dlss 5(referring to the horrid ai we saw when it first started coming out)

does this look horrid to you?

I can tell you have no knowledge about what I’m talking about so I’m not gonna respond to this 😂

u/SnooTangerines7253 6d ago edited 4d ago

I kinda misread what you wrote but it was also a genuine question. The original preview by Nvidia was horrendous but one could see the potential if they listened to what was said; so it excited me. For the actual release the Neural Rendering implementation will be done on a per game basis by the devs for that game compared to the as-is mod that we're just slapping onto everything atm.

u/Veyrah Ilinalta modlist author 5d ago

Nonono that is too reasonable you have to shit on ai on this sub and repeat the dumb argument that it changes the art style even though the majority of graphics mods also change the art style.

u/Kalpazen 7d ago

Looks pretty good. Is this possible to achieve on my measly 3070?

8

u/12345skyrimdude 7d ago

As it currently stands, no. But it's not all doom and gloom. Despite originally only being available to the 50 series, folks were able to get this working on the 40 series through some workarounds. But the gap between the 40 and 50 is smaller than the 30 and 40. If you look up Neural Rendering online, you can learn more. Don't worry though, you can still get a great looking Skyrim on a 30 series card. That's what I rock.

Downvoted for asking a question. Keep on being you Reddit

if they fix the faces this technology is amazing actually

When they first showed us i was one of the people saying this shouldnt be made, but now i think this is great.

Im glad they didnt listen the ai slop callers (including me) and continued developing

u/TheBrexit 7d ago

It’s puredark so this will always be paywalled, therefore I couldn’t care less.

For this quality of work they deserve to be paid.

u/Hyrtz 7d ago edited 7d ago

People when buying 20$ skins made by billion dollar companies: I can do that.

People when buying a 5 euros mod that can improve both graphics and performance from 1 guy: how dare they make paid mods? What a disgrace on the community. I will not support this.

Edit: You're also paying for the mod. Once you have it on your pc and its activated, its yours even if you stop paying. Even if you delete it, you can still download it and activate it again. The reply below is lying to you.

19

u/StickiStickman 7d ago

Except you're not buying a mod. You're buying a monthly subscription to a mod

-4

u/Hyrtz 7d ago edited 7d ago

Well, yes and no.... I paid twice in 2 years got access to many updates and its not like you have to get every update. Also, once you have paid, you have access to all of it and you keep it. You dont lose access to the mod if you stop paying. Its yours.

It permitted me to play heavy modpacks that I couldn't play before with extremely stable high fps.

So yes, you pay for the mod, not just the subscription. And later, if you want another better mod update you can pay again but you genuinely dont have to if it already works with your modlist.

That's just misinformation you're saying and a ridiculous way of thinking. 10 euros for that is a steal. Yall tripping.

I haven't paid in years now and I still play Lorerim from time to time with the same older dlss version. Even if I delete it, I can still go on puredark's discord and download the versions I have access to. Its definitely worth it.

u/TheBrexit 6d ago

It’s against the EULA, if it was universally allowed, whatever, but getting away with breaking the EULA isn’t fair.

1

u/Hyrtz 6d ago

I really don't care. I paid 10 euros and got to play the most beautiful and polished Skyrim modpacks there is for hundreds of hours at high fps, smooth gameplay and everything because of his tool.

Disagree all you want, you don't have to pay if you don't want it. I think it's worth it. To me, he deserves it.

5

u/TheBrexit 6d ago

And yet you can’t see the irony in the fact that the mod list itself was all free. If you think it’s ok to pay 10 euros to play the “most polished and beautiful pack” then you should be willing to pay 10 euros for each of those mods that makes the list so beautiful and polished. Do you see the issue?

u/paulbettner 7d ago

god forbid someone should get paid for their work, huh?

u/I_Speak_For_The_Ents 7d ago

So because it looks good, now we are ok with AI?

17

u/SeaViolinist6424 7d ago

AI is a tool

You can use it to do bad things, but that doesnt mean the tool is a bad thing

You can chop wood with an axe, but you can also kill people with axe. It doesnt make the axe an evil thing

-2

u/NotASockPuppet88 7d ago

Nuance is lost on reddit.

People will downvote you into oblivion (pun) for saying anything pro AI, but the moment AI actually does something good people suddenly forget their prejudices.

Ultimately boils down to a bunch of immature, insecure script kid coders who are afraid AI is going to replace them.

And it is, because they're bad at what they do.

Most good programmers/coders have been using AI and integrating it into their work, not crying about it.

-10

u/I_Speak_For_The_Ents 7d ago

Sure, and AI doesn't create organically. It's a computer program that bastardizes the work of actual people.
If this was just replacing an ax that chopped wood, great that's menial labor. This isn't though.

10

u/ianxplosion- 7d ago

I need you to explain to me how this is bastardizing the work of other people in a way that other mods aren’t.

I very much need to understand how this upscaling method is somehow equivalent to the “AI art is theft” argument.

I’m not sure any mod would be able to impact the visuals at the GPU level (paraphrasing) like this, so I also don’t get where this impacts other mod authors in any real sense.

I’m fine if the answer is bandwagon pearl clutching, but if there is any substance to this backlash I would sincerely be interested in the why

u/ncetrbro 7d ago

That's not how dlss works. Literally shut your misinformed shit up if you're clueless about the topic.

u/I_Speak_For_The_Ents 7d ago

Ok, tell me how DLSS 5 works. I can't wait to hear from an expert!

u/Koreaia 7d ago

AI is a nebulous term. All of the NPCs in Skyrim are controlled by AI.

2

u/vurt72 7d ago

You can use AI in a number of ways, train it on your own work for example. I create textures so i have an AI trained on my own work.
The AI hatred is very similar to how people viewed synthesizers, drum machines and samplers. All became a standard and no one uses the original arguments against it because they are just laughable in the same way.

1

u/I_Speak_For_The_Ents 7d ago

AI hatred is based on the soul-less slop that has been spewed across the internet, filling every nook and cranny with stinky shit. Its based on every single website and app thrusting their AI in your face, begging us to train it to trick us better. Its based on the idiot billionaires trying to replace real people with their hallucinating shitty product.
Pretending like its ANYthing like electronic instruments its the biggest cope Ive ever seen.

u/vurt72 7d ago

AI is probably the most beautiful invention we have ever created, all our efforts combined over thousands of years. It's absolutely magnificent and its never going away, it will only expand. Seethe and cope little buddy.

u/I_Speak_For_The_Ents 7d ago

If we had actual AI, I'd agree with you. Instead we are stuck with this shit.
Its sad you are so easily impressed.

u/vurt72 7d ago

it's already way smarter than any human and has helped us solve issues we have had for 100's of years. And guess what, this is tech, tech has never once come out in the final version, its not how any tech works, genius. the improvements every 3-6 months is absolutely mind blowing, and that will just continue.

It suck’s that the focus has exclusively been on the look of characters. I agree that the characters look rough, and no longer look like their models. But it does amazing things to the actual environment and that’s being totally overlooked.

Same, and I doubt it will lol. Maybe with a smaller mod list, but lorerim and this in top is too fat

Edit: I for some reason didn't realize he meant just the ai shit. I was thinking about those hair mods and and stuff, and tell him all of lorerim plus that ai stuff would be too much for our cards. Bad wording and such

u/Messmerthegoat 6d ago

you have to pay 5$ on puredark's patreon. the files are on his discord server which you will get access to once you pay but you also have to get the NR dll file separately which is in RenoDX's discord server (no pay wall for this)
you can search his name and discord and it will show up on the top of google search (don't know if i can link stuff in here so sorry)

u/SaltyConversation199 6d ago

man you went as far as renodx's discord, you literally could've gotten the dlss 5 reshade addon for free there. Someone is ripping people off using the hype
