  Nvidia Has Revealed AI Model-Powered DLSS 5 - But It's Facing Backlash Because Something Looks Off

• @geforce_jacobf Jacob Freeman on x

  @nickgeracehacks @digitalfoundry This was designed with developers. They have artistic control over DLSS 5's effects to ensure they maintain their game's aesthetic. The SDK includes things like intensity, color grading and masking off places where the effect shouldn't be applied.

• @bethesdastudios @bethesdastudios on x

  @digitalfoundry Appreciate your excitement and analysis of the new DLSS 5 lighting here. This is a very early look, and our art teams will be further adjusting the lighting and final effect to look the way we think works best for each game. This will all be under our artists' con…

  Playing with the DLSS 5 slider in the article, and I guess in addition to making main characters look like weird fashion covers it also just deletes by characters??  Look at the guy on the right or the figures in the BG  —  www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/ ...

• @ramiismail.com Rami Ismail on bluesky

  The only thing prohibiting developers from having artistic control right now is DLSS demolishing your artistic control.  It is open for artistic control should DLSS not do that.  —  www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/ ...

• @pcgamer.com @pcgamer.com on bluesky

  Nvidia says that game developers who support DLSS 5 will have “artistic control” over its effects, but if so, that's not obvious from the first demo.

  DLSS 5 is completely mind blowing. The neural rendering model with photoreal lighting and materials is a generation step up in visual fidelity. Gaming with DLSS 5 feels like future tech, but its possible now. It is truly incredible. 🤯 [video]

• @ctnzr Bryan Catanzaro on x

  Digital Foundry's coverage of DLSS5 is absolute proof to me that they cannot be trusted going forward. This is not journalism. There is no push back or questioning despite it obviously being an Ai filter. It's just Nvidia talking points. This frankly reads like an undisclosed ad …

• @bilawalsidhu Bilawal Sidhu on x

  Big moment. You can cross the uncanny valley in video games by using real-time video-to-video AI. You get the best of coherence & control from classical 3d engines, then use generative AI to take it all the way.

• @hardwarecanucks @hardwarecanucks on x

  Ok, hold the phone. WHAT? Totally torn here. Are we infringing on a game designer's artistic intent w/ AI assumption? OR This is SICK! It breaks artists free from a game engine's limitations! What do you think?

  The idea is cool, and I'm not against using AI like this, but here it feels a bit too much... the faces don't really look like the characters anymore.

• @tomwarren Tom Warren on x

  Nvidia just announced DLSS 5, calling it the “most significant breakthrough in computer graphics” since the introduction of real-time ray tracing in 2018. DLSS 5 uses “real-time neural rendering” and is coming to RTX 50 series GPUs later this year https://www.nvidia.com/...

• @mweinbach Max Weinbach on x

  I mean DLSS 5 is insane for lighting, imagine if DLSS 6 handles movement/motion mixed with it. You could probably have photo realistic lighting, motion, audio, etc in real time with it. The entire game becomes the quality of cut scenes.

• @geforce_jacobf Jacob Freeman on x

  DLSS 5 applies to the entire scene in real-time, with existing textures and models, making the materials, lighting, faces look so much more real. 👀 [image]

  weird that this impressive lighting tech also randomly turns everyone into yassified, looks-maxed freaks.  it's like all this technology can't help itself but sexualize everything it touches.  but like, through the lens of teenage boys.  —  www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zlw...

• @aegies @aegies on bluesky

  so if i'm understanding this video correctly, what DLSS5 is actually doing is taking every frame rendered through the existing process and then applying an AI image generative filter on it to make it look more “real.” and honestly i think i kind of hate this. www.youtube.com/watc…

  @NVIDIAGeForce LOL. We've reached the point of diminishing returns in game visuals where companies have convinced themselves that some freaky AI filter that slaps an artistic direction in the face is progress worth sharing.

  Something that's worth highlighting about the DLSS 5 fiasco....this was NVIDIAs tech demo. This is them displaying the product in the most favorable way where they have all the power to make it look as good as possible and curate the result. And it STILL looks this bad.

  I think a lot of people are starting to realize “better graphics” are separate from artistic vision. Games use so many tools to achieve their intended look- it's not a one size fits all solution and never will be. It's why those unreal engine 5 Mario remakes look like total shit

• @synthpotato @synthpotato on x

  @R2VHaze @NVIDIAGeForce Because AI upscaling is great tech, this is far beyond upscaling, this is generating its own interperations of “enhancement” through a literal AI slop filter that actively ignores all intent of art style

  Are we supposed to actually believe DLSS 5 gives developers control to maintain a game's “unique aesthetic” when the examples they show completely change the artistic style of some characters? “Ah yes, this completely different looking person is what I wanted all along!”

• @_beezul @_beezul on x

  At a certain point, it stops becoming a visual improvement and starts becoming a misrepresentation of someone's intent and vision. I think we just saw nvidia cross the line. I can see studios banning this as it misrepresents thier IP and makes their games look like the same

• @hardwareunboxed @hardwareunboxed on x

  “The AI model powering DLSS 5 is a single unified model. Same model for every game. It's not trained per-title, per-face, or per-object type.” Why are Nvidia claiming developers have full control over the artistic intent of DLSS 5 output when it uses a unified model that isn't
