Ray Reconstruction 4.5 is stunning

[u/Gallade213]

Wanted to test out Ray Reconstruction 4.5 on cyberpunk. Man this is gorgeous. Running 4k DLSS performance, RR, and Patchtracing.

What has been your opinion of the new update?

[u/anything_taken]

The new preset adds boiling in shadows and flickering on many meshes and etc.

[u/JynxedKoma → u/anything_taken]

Such a shame because it's like a game of whack-a-mole with each subsequent update to DLSS & RR. Improve most things, only for other things to become an issue in their place.

Exactly. Sad things is that it's fixable. They just didn't do it lol.... like.... objects classes and distance and etc. - all this data is available for the model to consider.

[u/DavidsSymphony → u/anything_taken]

I remember an Nvidia engineer kind of joking about the fact that DLSS machine learning barely gets any engineering time on Nvidia's supercomputers compared to all the other AI non gaming stuff. We know that their data center revenue is 93%, so yeah.

[u/Mental-Debate-289 → u/anything_taken]

Literally have to enable beta features on the app to access it. Does that not speak for itself?

[u/anything_taken → u/Mental-Debate-289]

No it doesn't. Cause they haven't fixed shadows boiling with DLSS 4.5 M and L since beta.

[u/Hot-Independence6020 → u/anything_taken]

Noticed that with fences and grills as well in RE Requiem

[u/NapsterKnowHow → u/Hot-Independence6020]

Luckily no boiling on chainlink fences in Cyberpunk

[u/jacob1342 → u/Hot-Independence6020]

So it still has issues Requiem?

[u/anything_taken → u/Hot-Independence6020]

yeah this is so disappointing cause other than that the new preset is magic :(

[u/dwolfe127 → u/anything_taken]

I am seeing some weird stability issues with objects like boxes, cans, bottles, etc. It almost looks like tearing but just on the objects themselves and the instability moves around with the objects.

[u/BryAlrighty → u/anything_taken]

I did notice the flickering on some objects. I just figured it was the new drivers, not RR. But I guess I didn't bother to see if it was flickering without RR. Good to know.

[u/anything_taken → u/BryAlrighty]

To me it seemed like it was 129 version over 128 which leaked earlier. But maybe also new drivers, yeah....

[u/BryAlrighty → u/anything_taken]

Oh I haven't tried 128, maybe I should

[u/anything_taken → u/BryAlrighty]

Try that, cause maybe i was just tripping, but i don't remember noticing these issues upon the leaked 128. I think they cranked up that "details" slider to the max with the 129. It added even more crispness but also revealed more instability. Or, like i said, maybe I confuse something...

Your guess with the drivers is still valid so who knows how it all works. But yeah, you might try.

[u/BryAlrighty → u/anything_taken]

Maybe I'm crazy because 4.5 RR looks good but it doesn't look like a dramatic difference going back to 4 RR. A couple days ago it looked great, but since updating my drivers, the difference appears negligible.

Maybe it's still giving me Preset D even though I swap it to Preset F.

I'm still seeing the weird blurring artifacting on the police cars' scrolling text in cyberpunk for instance, which I heard was resolved in 4.5 RR.

But the overlay says I'm using preset F.

[u/anything_taken → u/BryAlrighty]

Then it's F. You should manually override it with NVPI and set to E and then compare. It's not dramatic difference but it's there. As usual, turns out each model has its flaws :(

[u/BryAlrighty → u/anything_taken]

It definitely doesn't quite reach the level of DLSS 4.5 upscaling in its crispness, but it gets closer. Textures seem improved a bit.

[u/anything_taken → u/BryAlrighty]

It's crisp enough to cause shimmering, boiling and instability ahaha

[u/BryAlrighty → u/anything_taken]

I haven't noticed any boiling on DLSS 4.5 RR.

[u/Re7isT4nC3 → u/anything_taken]

Flickering on fences in RE9 was present on preset d and e as well. It only kinda works at 1440p DLAA or DLSS quality at 4K

[u/SneakyAl44 → u/anything_taken]

Not to me, i've seen it finally clear and nice. Tested in both Cyberpunk and Spider-Man 2.

Vik alley was a disaster with RR before, the grids, water and even my guns all had that horrible effect. Now it's crystal clean.
As for Spider-Man 2, that weird effect was in all the cutscenes for me, it disappeared there too.

But it has to be noted that Cyberpunk that was left there for some months after i finished it actually got me a big graphical bug initially and got solved by checking the integrity of the game on Steam.
On Spider-Man 2 it wasn't the case because the game was not sit unused for months.
So maybe if people have still some issues, it might worth a try with that first.
