Nvidia DLSS 5 Delivers AI-Powered Breakthrough in Visual Fidelity for Games

Digital Foundry has a video about it: https://youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA

> The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered Interesting, given this game was shortly abandoned after release with major performance issues.

I really don't like how it changes the face of the girl and looks like someone different or like they had a bad plastic surgery. The other characters also slip into uncanny territory.

I hope this will work on NES emulators.

The demo video ( https://x.com/NVIDIAGeForce/status/2033617732147810782 ) is even less appealing than the screenshot. The old woman at 00:20 especially looks awful! This has all the worst aspects of AI-generated faces. Unfitting high contrast lighting that doesn't match the environment, shiny plastic-looking skin, and only barely resembling the original likeness. It's like an Instagram yassification beauty filter. I'll be honest, I don't know enough to judge whether it's impressive that they can generate these kinds of faces (that were state-of-the-art two years ago?) in real time now, on an $8000 dual-GPU prosumer desktop. But artistically, it serves less as an ad and more as a warning to stay away from this tech. I'm surprised someone thought this was a good showcase.

The biggest problem I have with DLSS 5 is how it completely upends and ruins the dynamic lighting that the developers spend a huge amount of time perfecting to set the perfect mood for the scene.

Horrific. Completely ruins the art direction.

Not sure why anyone would want this, either on the consumer or producer side. (Unless it's Madden or something.) If this supplants prior versions of DLSS — which magically doubles perf while maintaining visual quality — it would be a tragedy.
