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.

These images and press release is not for gamers, but for shareholders to “feel” like their investments are going to pay off.

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?

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

So absolutely nothing new? DLSS has always been slop.

EDIT: Lol @ the downvotes, enjoy your fake, blurry frames. Reminder that artifacting used to be only for dying GPUs

This looks like legitimate ass. RAM prices are through the roof in part because of this shit - we've regressed heavily.

"This does not just apply to high end graphics. We're already seeing that a little bit with Starfield, which is a more primitive title" lmaoooo

What happens when you apply this to a game in a cartoonish style? Is it going to look like those unsettling renders of the Simpsons characters with life like human skin?
