They’re being very careful about cutting almost immediately after the DLSS is turned on. It all looks like printed media, not actual video. There’s something very off about the way the details just sort of track along the normals of the surface. Maybe something I’d enable as a novelty in a few rare cases, but certainly not something I’d use to replace any existing solutions.

Edit: There may come a moment in time, like it did for me with RTX (specifically Control) where a game finds a way to work it into the very idea of the look of the game and manages to make DLSS 5 look jaw-droppingly gorgeous. But that will be up to artists, not the geeks at NVIDIA trying to shortcut the artistic process. I can see it being a tool for some rare games, and those are the few I’m actually really looking forward to.

Hey at least it still runs on your machine.

DLSS 6 will run exclusively on the cloud because RTX 6 series won't ship with any RAM or compute nodes since they all went into enterprise cards lol

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

Looks fine to me

Insanely impressive that it’s able to do that in real time.

An ocean of hate in this thread... I'm excited for this tech, and hope there's a way to inject it into classics that haven't aged so well because they aimed for realism at a time when it was unachievable. Now we can actually see how those games might have looked had they been fully successful.

Off the top of my head, I think this would be great in most Elder Scrolls games, most notably Daggerfall. Almost anything released for N64, with it's extremely flat textures, or PSX with it's heavily pixelated textures. Maybe GoldenEye you'll actually be able to make out other characters from further than 20' or Final Fantasy IX won't look like 3D blobs hovering over static, pre-rendered scenes.

I'm excited to replay so many games without feeling let down by my nostalgia filter when actually seeing them again!

Now let the waves of down-votes roll over me like I'm at the beach, for having the audacity of disagreeing with the irrational and incensed mob.

I bet you're all being used to manipulate stock prices.

DLSS of course does use machine learning (transformers or CNNs) which you can call AI if you want, but I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding about what this new version is actually doing. If you watch the video or read the breakdown they note that DLSS 5 is NOT replacing or altering the original graphical assets in the game with generated ones. There’s no new textures or 3d models being changed here. It only alters the lighting of the game to add more realistic shadows and reflections etc. It’s just that it does that so extensively that it gives the impression of being an almost entirely different image. Kinda nuts that lighting can do that but that is apparently what is happening here.

That said, arguments about artistic intent are still very relevant here since it’s a very different look to how the original devs may have intended.

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.

Lighting in video games encompasses a lot of things these days. I'm not a graphic designer but, to my untrained eye, it looks like this tech is pushing hard on things like subsurface scattering to make materials appear more realistic. It doesn't appear to be changing the actual polygons. This picture further down seems like a more realistic example of what it would end up looking like when the technology is complete. I think they picked that particular first image as an example BECAUSE it's such a stark change.

Looks cool to me, photorealism is coming. Not really a gamer, btw

The second one didn't look too different from the original, but the first and third look so far from the source material, it's jarring.

actually helps out in the sports games. ea has the same lightning like they had in 2006, so this takes it up to speed to 2020. however real games gonna look arse. alao 2 x 5090 cards required, donno who the fuck is the demographic. also thanks for killing dual gpu support so you could bring a shit one back.
