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.

    If this tech appeared four or five years ago, it would be all praise around here…

    AI hate is becoming “hate for the hate” just because it’s the dominant opinion.

    “Artistic intent…” When did you guys care about artistic intent before? Did you ever use a mod to change visual aspects of a game?

      A Mod is a filter with a specific design choice.

      This makes everything look the same. All games in all genres. Uncannily

      I’ve seen people do this to Minecraft. Genuinely, the 4k super-texture packs you can add to change the block faces look fucking awful.
