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’m not sure I’d go as far as saying it’s a good use of AI. Also, if you’d read the article (or even just the comments) you’d know that this required 2 5090s. Your 4090 is not going to cut it.
I guess I will just keep playing factorio. That’s a game which doesn’t involve any automatic generation involving intelligence … Wait… Fuck!
/s
To be clear I don’t think factorio has any Gen Ai. It does have a lot of automation, a lot of generation and requires a lot of intelligence. I thought it was just a clever bit of word play.
FACTORY MUST GROW!!
Yes on factorio, even though I am so bad
If you think you are bad, you are not. There is no wrong way to play and you may want to have different goals. Do you want fastest time? Smallest area? Most powerful against hoards of bugs? Conquer all planets? Science per minute? Self imposed limitations?
All are valid and all could be fun.
The unoptimized demonstration requires two 5090s, yes. Final version might be less demanding. Let me believe.
