A massive technological leap for graphics - and we've been hands-on with four games.
I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.
Even so. OP’s post is nonsense. When people talk about misinformation on the internet, this is what they’re talking about.
DLSS 5 is still in the testing phase. Nowhere near commercially available yet. Demos are only supposed to show direction, not the finished result. One cherry picked image is glorified ragebait at best.
I think you misunderstand OP’s point then. The complaint is not just about the result, but also very much about the direction. The fact that, if Nvidia chooses to pursue this, games running on their GPUs may all be visually tampered with in a way that ignores the creator’s intent and the user’s wish. Could you imagine a world where every game looks exactly the same and uses the same fake faces? It would be incredibly dulling and boring, in my opinion.
Not only that, but puts on tinfoil hat this might enable Nvidia to insert their own desired images into games. Ads or propaganda insertion into our escapism is not too far fetched, and given how unprofitable AI is, it would be an easy way to suddenly make it profitable.
That’s a bit far fetched. DLSS couldn’t put ads in game because that’s not how it works. It’s more like a post processor. It can’t generate brand new content.
Plus, if Nvidia did develop that technology, gamers would riot. Not complain. Actually riot. Not to mention it would be a legal nightmare. Modifying copyrighted game content without consent would be a courtroom speedrun.
