So, Dege, why do you like Chrome again?

He just implemented bicubic and lanczos into a wip build. Looks great except his wrapper doesn't work great on IWD2. It's such a massive library of titles he's supporting, too much work for one person. OF course the advantage of a hardware or driver level solution is it should work with most titles. …

Yep it's crazy money for what it is. Guess we just wait until they drop the act and let any old gpu do it at driver level, same as they do friggen bilinear

Man, no ones tried it? Maybe everyone here is too wise to blow hundreds of bucks on a gpu which will be obsolescent in a few years. Short of buying a CRT or one of the very few monitors with a quality scaler, this is good as it gets on an LCD. Spose we'll have to wait a few years until there's more …

Has anyone tried it? Care to share your impressions on how it looks? Most of the website comments don't even know what it does. There's a software scaler in Nvidia Turing gpus (2080 etc). In the latest drivers you can select scaling only without sharpening. The scaling algorithm is 5 tap\32 phase if …

SIt's just a bit of a shock. I'll need to get used to it. It's not bad, it's just...everything is so big now. I liked how neat and compact everything used to be. Nos there's so many frills around everything. Everything looks so complicated. But what of the semi-encapsulated text boxes, replete with …

Is this a Joaquin Phoenix 'I'm still here' type deal? I'm half expecting little dancing hip hop emoji's to start scrolling sideways across the screen any minute now.

Bummer

IWD2 has a lot of stuttering and frame drops, eg. going below 30 fps and slowing down in combat. I tested it with 2.55 and the issue was still present. I'm not sure what if anything can be done, but I'll post this here in case anyone comes up with something. PrimarySurfaceBatchedUpdate = true gets …

Oh Christ mate, just drop the attitude and let people decide for themselves on what they consider relevant or interesting in a topic. Jesus. Moving on..

Ah, I found it. I follow the conversation, all the math from this stuff is from signal processing and is freely available if you care to read it. It's also a very poor habit to assume people do not have knowledge. However, a) it requires it's own thread b) the image you posted isn't from any of your …

Hi Dege, is it possible to push the upscaling algo to a WIP build? Zell, as horrific a visage as that seam is, I think you've used the wrong picture there?

Of course they will use it, it looks better. If it's exposed in the UI they'll click on it and like it.

lol, that looks fantastic, I can't believe you implemented it so quick. No one else has done this for a wrapper, but it's just such a fundamental improvement in fidelity isn't it? Such a boon for anyone going to back to play all these great old 90's era 2d games. I hope more people take an interest …

Baldurs Gate pinched from Lefreut There's a substantial increase in clarity without loss of detail, evidenced by the rooftop, bricks etc. It's best to open in tabs to compare. Bilinear https://us.v-cdn.net/5019558/uploads/editor/z4/45a3bgnl7ecg.png Camull-Rom spline https://us.v-cdn.net/5019558/ …
