  • The game is rendered at a lower resolution, this saves a lot of resources.

    Then dedicated AI cores or even special AI scaler chips get used to upscale the image back to the requested resolution.

    I get that much. Or at least, I get that’s the intention.

    This is a fixed cost and can be done with little power since the components are designed to do this task.

    This us the part I struggle to believe/understand. I’m roughly aware of how resource intensive upscaling is on locally hosted models. The necessary tech/resources to do that to 4k+ in real time (120+ fps) seems at least equivalent, if not more expensive, to just rendering it that way in the first place. Are these “scaler chips” really that much more advanced/efficient?

    Further questions aside, I appreciate the explanation. Thanks!

    No idea how valid the youtuber’s claims are, but it’s so obvious how manipulative beast’s videos are. And it’s wild how many people jump to his defense whenever his exploitation of people for videos is criticized. He made a literal Squid Games reenactment and people ate it up with zero sense of irony.
