“Well, first of all, they’re completely wrong,” Huang said in response to a question from Tom’s Hardware editor-in-chief Paul Alcorn about the criticism.
“The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI,” Huang continued.
Just a elongated way to say AI slop.
Surely this is just a marketing stunt they pulled in the hopes of temporarily pumping share prices or something? Despite their claims that it can be optimized before release, I think there is basically no way they get it running at playable frame rates without a second dedicated graphics card on current gen hardware. They’re going to release it with terrible performance, promise to improve it, a few people who have dual 5090 setups will try it but almost everyone will ignore it, and the promised optimizations will either never materialize or they’ll be much less impactful than promised.
“The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI,” Huang continued.
He seems to be thinking of it as basically a post-processing effect, but it’s certainly the least performant one ever devised. Even if it’s true that the art teams can tweak it to get exactly the effect they want, I find it hard to believe they’d ever be able to get it running on the hardware they’re targeting, so it will just be an expensive novelty for games that want to promise the most bells and whistles.
Edit: Wait I just saw this,
“It’s not post-processing, it’s not post-processing at the frame level, it’s generative control at the geometry level,” he said.
What is he on about? Surely it’s not really mucking around with stuff earlier in the rendering pipeline? That would make it completely different from all previous versions of DLSS, why would they call it DLSS 5? I don’t think he understands how it works at all.
no way they get it running at playable frame rates without a second dedicated graphics card on current gen hardware.
Their marketers are salivating at the thought.
It’s definitely a stunt for share-holders, not directed at consumers.
Looking forward to the day I boot up a new game and all the characters look like this because I don’t have DLSS 9 enabled
ROFL This means we are in fact correct in our assumptions and Jensen Huang is seething, trying to make AI Slop Lookscursing fetch. It will never be fetch Jensen…Sorry sweetie!
Sorry folks, did you think Nvidia executives were focused on faster more efficient chips or engineering cheaper more reliable manufacturering processes? Nope, it’s poor quality AI all the way to the horizon for them.
Oh, and truly dumb looking I’ll fitting jackets to boot
“My shoes are fine, it’s everyone else that smells like dog shit.”
It’s one thing to defend AI slop; but my god, why does his answer sound like AI slop?
CEOs have all sounded the same for years now. Add in LLM talking points regularly and they all sound like robots with a broken speech unit
Do not fuck up my games, Jenny
I’ve heard a number of creators try talking about how this is a good thing actually and it is just misunderstood… And I’ve got to say: after it’s come out that nvidia has threatened creators in the past… I really think it starts getting obvious who’s still kissing the ring. This is some emperors new clothes shit.
If nvidia can’t just make a better card anymore cool. No worries. Want to get into bed with the industrial military complex? Great. Message recieved. Want to overwrite an artists design with filters? Stay the fuck in your lane. You design chips that draw what they are told. If you can’t do that right anymore then get out of our industry and make room for someone who can.
Todd Howard is slop-pilled. RIP elder scrolls and fallout.
If Starfield didn’t murder everyone’s hope for their future titles I don’t know what will…
I’m increasingly happy my hardware is a generation behind and incompatible with this shit.
Same, I have a 3090 that’s a secondary card in my system used only for video rendering because of how well it processes with NVENC. All my gaming GPUs are AMD now.
Only one? I got a newish computer, but I use my old ibm Thinkpad with an i5 and igpu, plus my steam deck, way more than that thing for gaming. The Thinkpad is mainly for nostalgia and a forever, but oddly non nuclear, war in civ V.
“completely wrong” and proceeds to say it’s just a “fusion”.
It IS an AI slop filter, and you can take it and shove it up your ass alongside all of your stupid jackets.
Never bought anything from NVIDIA after the 1080ti and I feel real good about that.
Never bought anything from them after the 500 series lol. The last one that didn’t give me any problems was a 1060 when I set it up for a friend, everything after that always had some nasty gremlins
I still occasionally use an old sli’d dual 260 gtx setup I inherited. It’s hooked up to my “theatre room” (not rich, just have a multi purpose room with a projector and couch.).
That’s fire, sli or crossfire anything is so nice to look at
I mean he’s gotta say people are wrong for not liking it, it’s his job to sell it
True. I mean we can’t exactly expect the CEO of an AI company to admit his AI tool produces AI slop. Got to think about shareholder value after all.
Anyway outlaw the stock market and shareholders and this won’t happen again. It’s just a way for rich gambling addicts to bet and rope regular people into it in the hopes of getting rich only for them to lose everything.
His statement reeks of “Don’t you all have phones” energy.
It’s worse…
People are saying it’s AI slop filter, and he won’t shut the fuck up that the slop isn’t a filter, it’s a main ingredient.
When enabled it fundamentally changes how it works.
Developers will be stuck with the default version we’ve seen, or have to devote a shit ton of money to do twice the work for the people who use this, and they won’t see the other version.
Like, this shit is going to get worse and worse the more people understand it.
Calling it now: Jensen Huang’s mind has been emptied and replaced with AI chips. That’s why he just spouts AI generated nonsense.
