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.

    Eventually maybe, but I really doubt devs are going to build their entire game in an unfinished way for the less than 1% of their audience that is going to have one of the cards that can run this.

    PS5, Xbox, and all PC gamers not dropping $1k on a new rig this fall are still going to be playing the games without this.

    In 3 years, sure, maybe the PS6 has similar features on AMD by then and the market share for cards running real time ML adjustments to scenes has widened enough devs can depend on the tech.

    But it’s a bit premature to throw a fit about the likelihood of devs cutting corners because of a feature only accessible to the most expensive setups owned by a fraction of their target audience.

      Have you seen Borderlands 4? They went full “use frame gen if you want 60fps”.

      Devs might not want it, but CEOs sees they can cut corners and brag on using the new shiny toys and despite Dev’s warnings they will use it.

        Well to be fair most people have not seen borderlands 4 as it was not exactly as sucsessful as the earlyer titles (partly due to stupid shit like frame gen)

      Hey remember when rtx was going to great and not turned off by almost every gamer? Remember when 3d TVs would replace regular ones? Remember when Crossfire/SLI was not just a waste of time?

      I am sure this time for sure they will eventually get it working in a non ass way.
