What does DLSS5 actually do? Care to explain, please?
You have two 5090 GPUs installed and you can have one process for your games and the other will use AI to alter the appearance of games based on what the AI does.
For example the AI filter can change facial appearances, textures, add or remove items from levels, write in text and alter pretty much everything about the appearance of your games.
Whats really bad about this is if you replay the level or game, the AI filter will do different things that each time, so its not consistent and it can make playing the game almost impossible (think about a cracked wall or secret area you need to break through, well the filter may decide to texture it the same as the rest of the walls, making it impossible to find unless you know its there).
Ultimately this isn't a huge deal as no one is buying one 5090, let alone two of them, but it's stupid and a perfect example of a company shoving AI where it doesn't belong.
