Oh, only a 50% performance hit on very pricy hardware for making automated lighting choices and complete face redesigns that don't respect the designers' and artists' vision?
What a steal!

I think this is one of the reasons why Nvidia developed this. First it makes it a "unique" feature of Nvidia hardware, where you rely on. And secondly the huge impact in performance, so you are incentivized to buy new and faster Nvidia hardware. I don't see any other reason why Nvidia would develop this DLSS 5 Ai Slop technology.
This feels like motion smoothing on TVs. It's super unclear why manufacturers put it on since the first thing any sain person does is turn it off. This feels like something similar, I suspect most gamers are just going to turn it off rather than leave it on and buy better hardware especially at the moment.
Bold of you to assume normies can buy this shit. Spending $4000 on a hunk of metal that works slightly better than that $500 hunk of metal you bought 4 years ago doesnt make a whole lot of sense
So don't buy new graphics card then. Same end result you don't have to deal with the AI slop.
Hopefully the AI bubble bursts sometime soon and we can get back to normal. All that needs to happen is governments need to stop subsidising AI companies. Eventually a combination of public pressure and the complete lack of any progress from the companies will cause that to happen.

Cloud looks like Scarlet Johansson, I can't unsee it.
Cloud "Marshall Mathers" Johansson.
All examples look samey in the worst way.
i mean, we don't know what the training was like for this version. if it was trained on a limited subset of people (like NBA players for NBA 2k) that could easily explain why. In future games that want to support this, they could train it specifically on the actor/models they used.
Not that final fantasy characters look like humans their stylized in a particular way and when you try and humanize that style it looks like an alien trying to fit in among humans with a slightly unconvincing skin suit
Cloud looks like they're transitioning. Good for them.
We support Cloud in all their endeavors. DLSS can still fuck off ❤️
Agreed
Shit! Me neither now T_T

DLSS is a plague.
I prefer it (really FSR4, at nativeAA) over TAA.
Dipping your monitor in shit is better than TAA. These upscalers have caused developers to use them as a crutch. Instead of making a performant native game with good MSAA options, they speed run the game and then slap DLSS (or the alternatives) on at the end for 60fps.
I get it's not usually their fault, with crunch times etc, but it's still a decision someone makes, that the customers could push back on. NVIDIA is spearheading it as a means to sell GPUs, locking newer DLSS versions behind new hardware and paying studios to support and advertise DLSS. I mean, at least until the AI boom, now they couldnt give a fuck about us little guys at all.
I guess they felt videogames didn't look quite enough like soap operas or instagram "models".
I guess I don't care. Like it's mostly for AAA games which I don't play and for Nvidia cards which I don't own. And even if I could use it, it's totally optional. Since it apparently sucks, I don't think many people will use it.
Another case of “don’t you have phones”
I'm tired, boss.
Thx I hate it
I want to see it with Quake
If the point of the tech was to make Jesse Faden look like an old-aged pensioner, then mission accomplished.
I'm sorry, but if my wife looked like this in her 60s and 70s I'd be very happy.
She's supposed to be 35 in the game. The videos in the article didn't make her look older than 40. The article is hyperbole.
Also that Skyrim character look bad regardless of DLSS on or off is not a surprise. Fans probably call it a feature. Just shows the tech isn't magic.
