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.

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

    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.

      Someone reported your comment.

      that’s glorification of violence and then there’s nuclear options…

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

    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.

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

      The devs can literally control the vectors used. They can even mask it to not apply to some things. Not sure how it calculates lighting though.

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

    this is also stupid and completely useless

      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).

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

      Isn’t this like applying instagram filters, which can be done on run of the mill smartphones?

    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”

      I looked at some of the demo images and if it reads old lady, it decides to quintuple the wrinkles and go full witch. But otherwise, yeah, whore gun.
