The only good application of DLSS5 I could've think of is Euro Truck Simulator 2, hyperrealism would pair well with the game.

New Worms game looking hype though

Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:

Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.

An entire second GPU just to run it.

Is the DLSS AI slop going to lead to homogenization of game aesthetics? That's really fucking lame.

‘Artists have the final say’

They already had the final say.

Makes perfect sense in context.

Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.

This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.

New Mario game looks 🔥🔥fr fr

This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.

Slopvidia

Was able to brace myself enough to skim through the video. Anyone that watches those clips and thinks that looks better has no place working on anything related to visual tech. Not only is the interpolation obvious and distracting, every scene, no matter the time of day, location, or anything else, has the exact same shitty lighting that washes out every shadow and color painstakingly added to the scene by actual professionals. Pro-tip: A white-balanced image is the starting point, not the end-goal. Making every game look exactly the same is fucking terrible, you hacks.

I can only hope this shit only finds its way into the AAAA dross that's not worth playing already.

it's incredible that this can be done in real time on a consumer GPU.

this is also stupid and completely useless

DLSS 6: You don’t even need to design your game. AI will generate it in real time.🤡

The demos run on the back of two 5090 GPUs... At what point do we even acknowledge I shouldnt need to be using nearly 2kW of power on a gaming PC on a dedicated circuit in my home? Simply diminishing returns at a certain point and nvidia is bringing us way past that point into very unreasonable territory.

Is it cool they could do it at all?... I GUESS?! But they've definitely lost the plot here.

Can't believe DF is so positive about this, just looks horrible. I've actually been quite positive about technologies like DLSS and FSR but this... no thanks.

It doesn't look like the same character anymore. The right side just looks like something AI hallucinated that is vaguely similar. If that were a real person you wouldn't be able to recognize them anymore.

Also, what the fuck do you call that? "Standard Human Face" ?

AI has never fixed shit ever. It always just makes shit up. I wouldn't even use it to remove the Starbucks cup from Game of Thrones, cause I don't know what the fuck it will put there instead. Whatever it "thinks" is supposed to be there, I guess.

techno-fascists are incapable of making decent art, hence why they love this shit. They don't care about Grace as a character or what her design can tell us about her, she needs to be "upgraded" to look like the most generic model ever because they don't care to actually understand anything about the characters or story or fucking anything at all

The absolute tone deafness of the AI industry man. Everything about this is terrible. From destroying artistic intent, over making everything look slop to being insanely resource hungry in this economy. There is everything to hate about this. The house of cards can‘t collapse soon enough.

I get why some people would like this, but Nvidia has lost touch with their gaming market.

AI users are their market now, and this is what they want. This is an advertisment to lazy game publishers/developers like Bethesda.

Idk why, but this reminded me of the South Park episode where everyone is using photoshop to show off their girlfriends.

Had to make the meme

NVIDIA is the AI company now. There's no turning back.

Won't it be kinda strange for gamers who buy a game and find that none of the characters look like the ones on the Steam storefront? 👀 Many of these characters are legendary and have been in long-running serieseses, imagine booting up the latest Uncharted game only to find that Burt Reynolds is the main character now, all because you turned on DLSS.

Downright disrespectful of the artistic toil that goes into perfecting characters, lighting, colour grading, etc. Like maybe there was an artistic choice made to not have the character look like an AI ad for an AI-generated OnlyFans model?

It used to be a tool to gain FPS while retaining graphical fidelity. Now it's aiming to be a full-on infidel; replacing art to the extent that it's barely recognisable. What will DLSS 8 be like?

So it uses up way more hardware and power whilst not improving the part of the game were the fun is: gameplay.

What's next NVidia, an AI driver that plays the game for you?!

Hmmm I also just thought of how this is it looking the "best" for the demo and that most of the time it will just be the makeup gun set to "whore"

While everyone is raging on about how a woman looks in video games, I find it even crazier that it changes the fantasy feeling of Oblivion with a hyperrealistic look. Fuck art directions, every game will look the same now with DLSS 5.

I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.

Leaving aside the question of artistic intent, does this not lead to every player having a different experience? Or maybe even every session? DLSS 5 seems to fill in a looot of details and even changing things. How are they making sure it's the same for every player?

"Make it shitty"

It feels like homogenization of art. The filter pays no attention to the original art style and just conforms it to nividias Ai style.
