If you read that headline and you thought "wait, I thought DLSS 5 tanked your FPS", you're on the right track. The idea here is that NBA 2K27 has been updated with the new DLSS 5 Neural Rendering that NVIDIA announced prior to the RTX Spark platform launch, and folks have been replacing the old library with the new one for a big performance lift with very minimal changes in image quality.

There are reports all over Xwitter about this; the most convincing is probably this one from Detro (@detro_official) where he compares Judy with the old DLSS 5, the new DLSS 5, and without DLSS 5 on an RTX 4080 SUPER. With the old version his upscale was taking 8.8ms; with the new version, just 5.4ms. His frame rate jumps from 108 FPS to 150 FPS, although we should note those numbers are with 4x multi-frame generation, so the...

Microsoft's Maia 300 swaps raw compute for a 2.5x memory bandwidth gain as it moves to make in-house silicon its main AI engine while claiming a 40% efficiency bump — could going the Google route be the pin that pops the Nvidia AI bubble?

* Microsoft will make Maia its main inference engine at multi-gigawatt scale, following Google and Amazon into in-house silicon * Microsoft's upcoming Maia 300 trades a modest 36% compute gain for 2.5x Maia 200's memory bandwidth, betting on memory-bound decode, with production in 2027 * Hyperscalers supply just
