Nvidia splits Internet with new hyper-realistic graphics tech

Nvidia has unveiled the fifth iteration of its Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology, which is capable of overlaying photorealistic visuals on top of in-game graphics in real-time.

DLSS 5 will be available by the end of the year, and Nvidia said it was already providing some of the world's biggest game developers and publishers access to the technology.
 
Looks good to me... I see many people are shitting in their best panties over this.

Let's see if the performance hit will be worth it.

Edit: Actually the more I see about DLSS 5, the more I dislike it.

This shouldn't even be called DLSS and should have a branch of its own, not to confuse upscaling with AI generated lightning and textures.

With current GPU prices, people cant afford one 5090 let alone 2, ie: one to display and one to power the AI. SO good luck with that.

Also expect dev's gonna go the UE5 route, spend less time on optimizing expecting the System to do the heavy lifting, and we haven't even covered the hallucinations like adding extra wheels to cars and what not.

Looks so kuk to me lol, it reminds of the movement smoothing thing you get on TVs.

That scene with Grace from RE9 - no way I'm playing a game looking like that. It's pure uncanny valley.

Also maybe I'm tripping but some of the landscape scenes looked better before DLSS5
 
Would anyone like some DLSS 5 with your R150k 5090ti????
 
Looks very AI filter kinda of foreground tech.

Still looks pretty, and pretty ****ing expensive on the wallet for the next gen RTX cards.

Agree not everything looks better, but some do. Like everything else they can improve the end result and performance.

We will just have to wait and see, if we don't like it. Surely there will be a switch to toggle it on or off.

FSR is so much better than this schit.

DLSS 4.5, FSR 4.1 and PSSR2 are fantastic.
1080p->4K output is like native 4K now in my experience with a 32” 4K monitor and 75” 4K TV.

DLSS 5 though, no idea what problem it solves. It doesn’t look realistic at all, it’s so fake and in each example it makes every game look the same. Feels like a tech demo gone wrong.

PSSR 2 is being rolled out as I am typing this. FSR 4.1, though it exists and AMD leaked the dll themselves it isn't driver-ready. Hard to call where these are, unless you are going by the DF videos which said that DLSS 5 is amazeballs.

It is what it is, a tech demo. No, these technologies have long been in the work, and isn't actually DLSS 5 though Nvidia chose to name it that. This is the RTX Kit, that is now more mature, being showcased. It isn't a single technology, but multiple RTX technologies.

I will say this, the Capcom RE demo wasn't great. The others were better, but the light sources per scene needs work.

This is the RTX Kit announced back at CES 2025,


Here it is shown how a developer would go about tweaking a character,

Obviously there is way more to it. There are material and geometry libraries attached to this. It is all layered. Filtering isn't what this is at all.

You are right about the tech demo gone wrong, and I agree with that.
