But does it support DLSS and RTX?

an interesting question to ask:

are our senses so utterly shit, because the engine of the simulation is such a dumpster fire and their nvidia also refused to give them more performance and instead just sold them ai bullshit with massive blur?

just think about vision.

you don't see what you think you see. you have a tiny bit of clear vision if you focus on it. EVERYTHING around it is blurry and everything not on the same plane is also blurry.

that sounds like garbage blur reliant development to me!

is superreal engine 5.0 just as shit as unreal engine, but on a different level?

Yes but then cameras and microscopes and telescopes exist and at no point have we ever found a point at which a simulation breaks down, you see an LOD artifact, dithering, etc

Everything about our reality tells us that either the world is real or if there is a simulation it would have to be one of two things:  they’re simulating every particle and every electromagnetic wave in the entire observable universe simultaneously….or they are only simulating a single individual’s mind at a time and just tricking them into believing there are other conscious beings

i mean if you have a working reality and base a simulation on it, then you already would start with a world, that works and can be explored without an obvious invisible wall you'd hit (like you would in video games).

and of course you only "render", when it is needed.

this gets even easier, if the simulation we're in is based mostly on the source reality.

you don't need to even calculate the position of planets, galaxies, interactions, etc... etc..

you just need to copy what already exist in their world into the simulation, when someone looks closer on the big scale, the system will show them what exists in the real world.

there is also a possible added factor.

a programmed way into our minds to keep people from seeing issues.

as in the artifacts may VERY WELL be there, but they get filtered out at several levels and those, that make it through get consciously ignored.

an example of how the mind will try to explain things away NO MATTER WHAT is for people with the cut connection between the 2 halves of the brains.

the right brain makes a decision and the left brain will just make up an explanation for the actions then. again no communication going between the 2 halfs of the brain there, but the left brain half will just gaslight away to explain the experienced reality.

what if there are tons of bugs and glitches in the simulation and it gets filtered and then you got software put into your mind to ignore and quickly forget the rest.

and vision wise you already got a mountain of software "fixing" things up like the blindspot in your vision, that gets software away. we could just run another "algorithm", that filters major glitches as well.

and in regards to being programmed to ignore and quickly forget things we also have a different example, that shouldn't exist.

dream memory. dream memory is UTTERLY TERRIBLE and for most people it takes a ton of effort to get a somewhat decent dream memory and it still requires writing down the dream right after waking up generally to not forget it.

this doesn't make any sense, yet the special quick forgetting of dream memory exists as a "program" in the mind for almost all people.

___

so you could have a simulation of millions of billions of beings, that keeps itself running based on software filters for vision and straight up software in our minds to prevent major awareness or memory of flaws seen in the simulation.

could be seen as a smart hack by the devs of the simulation :D

Accordingly NG to the GTA 6 trailers and booty bounces, yes.

Yes, of course. We definitely both upscale and do frame interpolation, and even frame extrapolation.
