Earlier today, Nvidia finally revealed the new RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 video cards, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture. We've been hands-on with the RTX 4090 for the last few days and we're hard at work on content focusing on the firm's latest AI-based frame generation technology - DLSS 3.
We were hoping to get our full video ready for today but having already sunk a full weekend into it, we're not done yet and need some extra time - so with that being the case, we've put together a teaser video showing some of the work we've already done.Digital Foundry is hands-on with RTX 4090 - and will be delivering a first-look preview on DLSS 3 later in the week.
So, the key questions facing the new techologies are straightforward: what is the quality level of the interpolated frames and to what extent does input lag increase or decrease based on frame buffering in combination with whatever mitigations Reflex provides. It's important to understand the limitations as well as the strengths: for example, esports players bank on higher frame-rates to reduce lag significantly - applications here will likely be limited.
