This was actually the sub-headline of the article but I thought was the more important party of the article.
Speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5, including CAPCOM and Ubisoft, Insider Gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else.
“We found out at the same time as the public,” said one Ubisoft developer.
Developers at CAPCOM tell Insider Gaming that the announcement and the publisher’s involvement were particularly shocking, as CAPCOM has previously been historically very “anti-AI” with projects such as Resident Evil Requiem and other unannounced projects in development. Some at the publisher fear that the DLSS 5 announcement could prompt a change in the publisher’s view on generative AI and its implementation in its games.
Those also fuck with the aesthetic of the game and I don’t use them. But they are also not forced on me to be used, like DLSS often is. I don’t even necessarily want the upscaling done, but in so many games you can not disable it.
This is like if nVidia forced you to use their Minecraft texture pack instead of the one you actually want to use.
Please show me the last game you were forced to use DLSS to play
Nearly every AAA game I’ve played that has come out the last 2 years does not have the option to disable DLSS/FSR.
Name one, I’ve never seen a game that did not have a toggle.
Where Winds Meet. You can adjust the preset; can’t turn it off entirely.
Hmm it appears launching in dx11 mode works to disable it. I can’t really find anyone trying to disable it intentionally, it’s all just questions about why it’s missing or how to turn if on.
I did see a screenshot of the supersampling options though and it does look like you can only toggle between xlsx/fsr/dlss. That is dumb though, it should not be a forced option at all. However I’d still say that isn’t dlss existence fault, it would be on the devs for not making it disableable in dx12. 🤷
I appreciate you finding an example though, I admit I rarely play AAA games and mainly gravitate toward indie games, however I have actively saught out dlss mods for games like fallout 4 because I heavily mod it and it hits the frames bad, dlss helps a ton in those situations
