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.

Fuuuuuuuuu-
Wrecked lmfao

This painfully true

oof the dislike ratio on this video is brutal. 23k likes but 49k dislikes, at least according to PiePipe.
as it should be. DF has instantly lost all the credibility they worked so hard to earn for so many years.
I just watched the Digital Foundry video on this and the way they fuckin glaze over this tech just disgusted me enough to unsubscribe.
Makes perfect sense in context.
Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.
This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.
Yeah no at this point nuke the whole fucking company.
Someone reported your comment.
that’s glorification of violence and then there’s nuclear options…
You don’t have a pocket nuke, do you?
It gave her Mar-a-Lago face
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.
They absolutely got a huge nvidia check for this one
Meanwhile my windows PC restarts if I launch a game with kernel level anti-cheat, after updating my GPU driver a few months ago. Just tried the new driver, instant reboot.
MS and Nvidia are fucking entirely made of vibe-coding morons, and apparently testing is no longer needed.
any particular reason you put up with it ?
Because despite what people say Linux doesn’t “just work” with nvidia, I can’t afford an AMD GPU right now, and because the people I know only want to play games with kernel level BS.
It sounds like you tried one or more Linux distros and it didn’t work out for you. Sorry to hear that.
Would you mind sharing your specs and the distro you tried so other people in the future can learn from your experience?
Also, if you are still interested in ditching windows I could do some research and see if I can help you out with your current specs.
This looks so bad, like uncanny 3d porn bad.
Yup. You will soon pay premium for checks notes actual footage of people enjoying fucking?!

Reading through the comments, this is definitely an unpopular opinion, but while I don’t love it, it does look more “realistic” to me, even though it definitely needs to look more like the source material.
Exactly. This is one of the few good uses for AI. It looks less like a beauty filter and more like a realism one. If it can make the rest of the game look as real, I’m all for this. I just hope it doesn’t require a GPU upgrade, because I was lucky enough to score a 4090 at launch for MSRP, and I plan on keeping it for at least another 6-8 years.
Brother, get your eyeballs checked. Nothing about that looks photoreal.
