Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology. The use of two GPUs is required right now as DLSS 5 still has a long way to go in terms of optimisation - both in terms of performance and its VRAM footprint. However, DLSS 5 is designed for use on a single GPU and that's how it will ship later this year.

So much easier when you can just throw 2x the hardware at things. Let's wait and see how it works on a single card.

Also, guessing it will be set up so developers can turn it on and off as needed in their game. If they make it a user-facing global setting, it will quickly turn into a meme generator.

‘Artists have the final say’

They already had the final say.

Meanwhile my windows PC restarts if I launch a game with kernel level anti-cheat, after updating my GPU driver a few months ago. Just tried the new driver, instant reboot.

MS and Nvidia are fucking entirely made of vibe-coding morons, and apparently testing is no longer needed.

How about Half Life Cinematic mod, but for every game?

Came here to post this, I'm glad it's blowing up. What new monstrosities they unleash upon us... I don't know how to even list all the things I have problem with with this.

Grown people expend energy on this?

FYI @TheObviousSolution@thebrainbin.org has been supporting this in every thread that popped up with misinformation and toxic positivity. Likely a bot or a marketing aide.

Be aware the NV's marketing is all over this, even in Lemmy.

One of the many aliases spamming positivity.

I don't want to hate on it, but at the same time why is everything AI just hyper-realistic uncanny valley perfectionism BS?

I know people harp on AI for stealing art, but honestly whose art are they stealing? Because its really bad. If we're going to live in a dystopia can they at least steal art of people who are good at it.

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.

How much does this increase my carbon footprint?

Am I able to compete with the likes of Taylor Swift or Elon Musk if I use this?

Isn't DLSS by defintion always an AI slop filter?
