Guess they didn't realize games have an art style.
Tampering with that by making all games look the same is destructive to the graphic art style.
Booo It's bad Boooooo
It's like putting ketchup on a hamburger! If the chef wanted you to have ketchup, he would have put it on there himself. You're spitting in his face by making changes to accommodate your personal preferences. One size fits all!
I think it's a bit different.
It's more like changing a human made painting with AI to make the person look like modern IG "models".
I think it's fine to add condiments to food. That's not really the same as painting over real human art , with AI slop.
Is DLSS 5 a hard requirement to play the game? If not the condiment comparison is apt.
I'd say ketchup is like installing visual mods. The slop is more like a mistery goo wich makes it taste kinda off and 4 times more expensive.
Mods are also created by other humans.
I do think that the appreciation of human created things is lost on some people. They really don't get why it has more value. Or maybe they don't value uniqueness.
Ah, using modern Photoshop to look like fake people, tale as old as time. It is kinda funny that in showing that ai is crap, you showed that humans are crap too.
That's like saying "you shouldn't mod games, 'cause that's not what the dev intended". Idgaf what the dev/chef intended, if I like mods in my burger, I'm gonna season it to my liking.
You can dislike what this dlss5 is doing all you want to, but in the end, no one is forcing you to actually use it. Sure, some devs will start to rely on it, but those same devs never gave half a shit about what their burger tasted like in the first place. They're the equivolent of a McDonalds burger. The devs who won't rely on this, and who have a vision for their artstyle won't be affected from this, in the same way that indie devs aren't affected by the newest call of duty.
The devs who give a shit aren't gonna be forced to even make this available in their games. DLSS has always been a choice, if the chef doesn't want me to put ketchup in their game, they shouldn't offer it by putting the ketchup on the table in the first place.
It reminds me more of that old meme of "if Mona Lisa was painted today".
As an embedded systems engineer, I find VLSI shaders to be a fantastic technology.
Simultaneously, AI code overall is absolute fucking trash.
I hate how bad NVIDIA has to be in general, because DLSS is legitimately amazing technology. Even the frame gen in DLSS 4 that was pretty rough at first is shockingly good in Borderlands 4 for example. Too bad they're the reason no one can buy RAM
Was watching the Digital Foundry review of this tech. They seemed impressed, the people in the comments were scathing
Everyday I think things can't get worse. That maybe this will be the breaking point. But no.
The main Resident Evil example is just awful. It's like an Instagram filter.
It's worse than that guy who has been going around photoshopping "Ugly" female game characters to make them look hotter.
I hate this reality.
Don't forget that when Sony went back and did the HD remaster, they actually remodeled her that way.
All of the worst people are winning.

Looks like they trained their stuff on instagram posts tbh
Digital Foundry are gushing over how amazing this is. https://www.digitalfoundry.net/features/nvidias-new-dlss-5-brings-photo-realistic-lighting-to-rtx-50-series
It looks impressive and bad at the same time to me
Impressively bad.
Im a console player so the background in the Skyrim clip looked impressive to me, but everything else looked really weird and boring even though it 'technically' looked better to me
Yeah sure it looks more "real" but you are losing so much expression and you are making the image look like it was badly photoshopped.
I think half of their comparison screenshots look flatout worse with DLSS 5
How is the removal of shadows considered to be better lighting in any way?
Yeah i was thinking that, using the comparison tool i was able to see it better and it completely ruined the atmosphere in the first image. The image without DLSS5 looks darker and personally i think it looks better like that, DLSS5 then just completely removes that darkness and makes it look awful.
Also, as someone who is making a game in godot, lighting is EVERYTHING, i am spending hours tweaking my lights so they look good.
In one scene from Starfield DLSS just removes the shadow from the baseball cap bill and replaced it with a soft shadow. That's not "realistic lighting", that's a smear filter with extra steps.
Could you give me a link to that?
It's in the digital foundry video above by digital foundry at 5:30.
Ehhhh. I saw the text ("The Real Deal" poster on the window in one comparison). There's still some artifacting, which to me is a deal breaker, especially if I have to DLSS everything instead of selected items.
But I'm also not a game developer, so I don't know if the modeling differences are worth the tradeoff for something that most people won't see in motion.
And I am fascinated by the number of people who, after all those years, still have no idea how DLSS and neural networks work.
It is too... clean? The lighting is too "perfect". Each object is an idea rather than an image to be interpreted. It conforms to what instagram considers to be realistic.
This is a mirror of human delusion averaged and contorted to gaze into itself, and as such I abhor it.
This video has a neat fhowcase of what's going on here. So-called "AI" adds detail where there should be none, which makes the faces look like worn-out, but polished leather.

Now with its own dedicated hardware: the SPU (Slop Processing Unit)
Apparently you need a second RTX 5090 dedicated just to slopification duty
No thx. I’m not too big on the last few generations of gaming anyway but if they’re really going to push their slop like this I’m out fully.
How many R's in room since you've got a fancy nvidia card?
Also, twenty feathers and twenty pounds of bricks both weigh twenty pounds.
I want to see what this wold look like applied to a character editor but then I never want to see it again.
I knew that nvidia will at some point make graphics fully ai generated, skipping the rendering.
In that comparison pic, the lighting is so off, like with the ai version instantly theres a couple different light sources that illuminate the characters face
