Nvidia's new DLSS 5 Brings Photo-Realistic Lighting To RTX 50-Series
www.digitalfoundry.net
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.

    All the rage focuses on faces, and yes, some look rough. But nobody is talking about the environments and textures. I think they look incredible. Old games may have been a bad example for them to give. Games built with this in mind from the start?  I’ll hold judgement until I see a game built for this from scratch, not a demo of a 15-year-old one.

      What publisher is going to make a game from scratch with DLSS5 in mind, at least within the next 5 years?

      The game would look like shit for anyone not running a 7090, and run like shit for 7090 owners.

      Also, RE9 and AC:S are pretty recent. Like, very recent.

      I have to disagree. In many examples, the lighting completely changes and colours are exaggerated. This completely changes the atmosphere of a given area.
