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.
You must log in or # to comment.
The only good application of DLSS5 I could’ve think of is Euro Truck Simulator 2, hyperrealism would pair well with the game.
Ew. It looks like ai porn. I feel so bad for the teenage boys who are jerking off to that shit not realizing they’re going to royally screw up their attraction to real women.
the memes are strong with DLSS-5. ‘for the low low price of…’ $1000.00
What did you think dlss was before…?
Hey at least it still runs on your machine.
DLSS 6 will run exclusively on the cloud because RTX 6 series won’t ship with any RAM or compute nodes since they all went into enterprise cards lol
Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:
Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.
An entire second GPU just to run it.
I think you have a typo there: An entire second GPU just to ruin it.
Can hardly afford or find one, they expect us to buy two? Fuck them
They have no intention to sell them to us. They’ll maybe let us play it like this thorugh GeForce Now, or any other streaming service.
They don’t want regular folk to buy PCs anymore.
So, yes. Fuck them indeed.
No. They want regular folk to buy PCs. They just have no idea what regular folk can afford. How much could a banana cost, 10 dollars?
Yeah, their sales team is incredibly fucked over from their only significant revenue being various AI farms.
Is there scarcity somewhere? Priced out completely, but they’re available.
That’s actually good news in my eyes, we definitely won’t see this hit the consumer market for years.
Context is important. The following sentence is:
The use of two GPUs is required right now as DLSS 5 still has a long way to go in terms of optimisation - both in terms of performance and its VRAM footprint. However, DLSS 5 is designed for use on a single GPU and that’s how it will ship later this year. Quite how scalable it is also remains to be seen, but in common with other DLSS technologies, Nvidia tells us that the computational cost scales with resolution.
Sure just double the vram and your AI can run, unfortunately you can’t afford that vram because billionaires are running AI.
It’s always funny to me when Nvidia releases new 8GB cards and new VRAM-heavy features as a reason to buy them.
8gig isn’t even enough for 4k right now. There’s a guy that took his 3070 up to 16gig and it really shows the cards are ram limited. And also it’s a serious pita to change vram without melting the card.
SLI is back!
That was my first thought too lol
2017: Buy 2x 1080 Ti for 1500 bucks, your build is GOATed, have fun spending half your time tinkering with your overclocks and fishing for the perfect SLI compatibility bits in Inspector
2026: This. It’s a shame
Ha ha thats great. Reminds me of PhysX back in the day where initially it needed a dedicated card.
WTF, I thought the point of DLSS was to gain performance, not lose performance…
This is shifting away from performance for dlss.
Features that need 2x the GPUs makes the stock go up 2x
Good, so my hardware won’t support it. XD
Great the new SLAI.
Oh, what the AI fuck?! 😵😵😵
Actually that realistic Patrick pic isn’t AI, I remember that pic being passed around wayyyyy before AI was ever around.
Yeah, that’s RTX, not AI.
Right, I figured it was for effect. Worked.
This painfully true
This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.
Yup. You will soon pay premium for checks notes actual footage of people enjoying fucking?!
New Worms game looking hype though
Can’t believe DF is so positive about this, just looks horrible. I’ve actually been quite positive about technologies like DLSS and FSR but this… no thanks.
Crazy to me to see people just now waking up to just how underinformed Digital Foundry really is to technical details, and how much they sold out.
Well, helps that you don’t need to know how to turn a computer on to see that they’re glazing some complete bullshit, just eyes.
The amount of glazing they do, holy fuck. They had me too for a minute before I started wondering if this is just an april fools joke
They absolutely got a huge nvidia check for this one
First time you’re witnessing nvidia coverage?
DF always glazes the industry. UE5, DLSS…
Eh, DLSS maybe, but they’ve been quite critical of UE5, especially its stutter issues. On the contrary, they’re always happy when something isn’t UE5.
My issue with UE5 is that it runs like shit, which DF tends to agree with, but it also looks like trash. Temporal effect are all over the place and make the image look like a muddy, ghosting mess. It only ever looks good on static screenshots
Idk why, but this reminded me of the South Park episode where everyone is using photoshop to show off their girlfriends.
Had to make the meme
I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.
Can’t say I ever really trusted any Digital Foundry takes. They all seem to naval glaze over shiny things.
Digital Foundry has sold off for years now. They glaze over everything NV regardless of the quality. What killed it for me was in a now
editedrestored video reviewing Dying Light 2, in a mausoleaum, Alex Bataglia was glazing over an RTX image that was obviously black crushed and saying RTX was adding immense detail when the exact opposite was shown. That’s when I realized they were surely being paid to portray that version of events.Evidence of said bugs on release.
I love it, they restores the original video from 3-2-2022, likely because they think We’d forget! That’s an absolute smoking gun of reading the marketing materials vs what’s in fact in front of you… Check at 5:20 hahahaha this is amazing. If you go to the same location on present day DL2 you can clearly see the scene presented by Alex was bugged to the wazoo!
Invidious link because fuck google!
Was able to brace myself enough to skim through the video. Anyone that watches those clips and thinks that looks better has no place working on anything related to visual tech. Not only is the interpolation obvious and distracting, every scene, no matter the time of day, location, or anything else, has the exact same shitty lighting that washes out every shadow and color painstakingly added to the scene by actual professionals. Pro-tip: A white-balanced image is the starting point, not the end-goal. Making every game look exactly the same is fucking terrible, you hacks.
I can only hope this shit only finds its way into the AAAA dross that’s not worth playing already.
