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.

You have no idea what your are taking about.

If you think games are more about realism than art, I'm afraid you're the one who has no idea what they are talking about.

Some games have realistic graphics, some have stylized graphics, some have no graphics at all.

You can call them art or fart, the fact is realistic graphics are becoming better with the help of ai. The technology makes them better. Even the technology you don't like make them better.

Not everyone finds realism in games as the desired end goal of videogame graphics, and historically stylized graphics age better.

That's a funny comment. Did I say they do?

Most gamers enjoy different genres in all kinds of styles.
