SRS is great, but some people do not want to mess with external apps. They would rather use a ready to go voice chat in game. thanks

Any compression or antialiasing will have compromises, DLSS works well, but you will have other options including DLAA  thank you

Looking forward to hook up with that Viking!

 

 

Looking forward to some escort action with those lovely new B-52 and B-1B models. Probably spend an hour just looping around them and enjoying the eye candy.

Is Nvidia DLSS version 3.5? This is going to be very good! 

I always download the latest version and replace the DLSS of supported games.

Tha same, nice surprise.

Btw. Just remember that DLSS has advantages and disadvantages. Usually, the image on small details (such as MPD displays or gauges) is no longer sharp and does not look as clearly as without DLSS. Of course, there are performance advantages.

Varies wildy from game to game how well it is implemented.

In some games you'll be hard pressed to see any difference.

Any compression or antialiasing will have compromises, DLSS works well, but you will have other options including DLAA

DCS 2.9 sounds like Christmas and Birthday emoji16.pngemoji2956.pngemoji1303.png Really looking forward to this fantastic Update. Since many features will already be released with version 2.9, I can‘t imagine what all will come with version 3.0

New game engine probably. Speculations.

Anyway. The announcement at hand, I‘m very (positively) surprised about the soon implementation of DLSS. That could be a huge boost for medium tier GPUs (team green for now).

I‘m very excited to see how DLSS works out for the „special needs“ of a flight sim. (spotting e.g.). I‘m sure it wasn’t easy to do properly.

That's great news, as someone who has become hooked on flying VR in DCS any ways to boost performance and maximize hardware is appreciated.

Very exciting! Something to add to the multi-player spawn points, it would be cool if player slots would show up in game before they're occupied. Like, let's say you jump in a server that might just have a few people in it, you see cold and dark aircraft on the ramp that could be player occupied, rather than a completely empty airfield, or aircraft carrier.
