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.

      They needed to use two whole ass 5090s to fuck up a game character that already looked great (and even sexualised to a degree). This anti gamer crap is funny since they are a consumer group that gets called out if they want less and also called out if they want more, they get called every silly thing when ever someone (normally by the very people working in the industry that relies on those very consumers) has nothing of value to say.

      This move has been almost universally panned by the very people they are trying to sell to. The idea that what any market wants changes is also not at all new or odd. We are in interesting times where most have issues buying food and shelter and yet here we are being pissy about gamers not wanting to spend literal 1000s of dollars on hardware to run things that are seen more and more as greed fueled slop. And this flopping of “new” tech is also not new or odd at all, do we all forget the many many examples of tech that the market just does not embrace?
