Nvidia's new DLSS 5 Brings Photo-Realistic Lighting To RTX 50-Series

A massive technological leap for graphics - and we've been hands-on with four games.

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.

    Have you considered what you’re looking at and what it means? Because the work of a human artist has meaning even if the technology is old. Hallucinations of a machine have no meaning. If there is no meaning the act of consuming the media will hollow you out instead of filling you up.

      Nothing inherently has meaning, except that which the beholder imparts to it. By your same logic, you’re dismissing the work of the creators of this technology. There’s room for both to exist - options are good! No one is forcing people to play a certain way, but I get the impression many here wish their own preference was enforced on everyone.
