Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game (www.digitalfoundry.net)

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.

Yeah no at this point nuke the whole fucking company.

[–] JonsJava@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Someone reported your comment.

that's glorification of violence and then there's nuclear options....

You don't have a pocket nuke, do you?

[–] empireOfLove2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

Makes perfect sense in context.

Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.

This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.

oof the dislike ratio on this video is brutal. 23k likes but 49k dislikes, at least according to PiePipe.

as it should be. DF has instantly lost all the credibility they worked so hard to earn for so many years.

It gave her Mar-a-Lago face

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.

[–] PonyOfWar@pawb.social 0 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Can't believe DF is so positive about this, just looks horrible. I've actually been quite positive about technologies like DLSS and FSR but this... no thanks.

[–] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Crazy to me to see people just now waking up to just how underinformed Digital Foundry really is to technical details, and how much they sold out.

[–] Gathorall@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Well, helps that you don't need to know how to turn a computer on to see that they're glazing some complete bullshit, just eyes.

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

They absolutely got a huge nvidia check for this one

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It feels like homogenization of art. The filter pays no attention to the original art style and just conforms it to nividias Ai style.

it's incredible that this can be done in real time on a consumer GPU.

this is also stupid and completely useless

[–] ech@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

a consumer GPU

That's a stretch for a demo that's using two GPUs working in tandem that each cost roughly a month's salary of a US worker ($3k).

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 3 months ago

Two 5090s can hardly be considered a consumer gpu set up. (They are over $5000 each here at the moment).

This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.

Hmmm I also just thought of how this is it looking the "best" for the demo and that most of the time it will just be the makeup gun set to "whore"

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.
