@opinali That poor Jacob guy is definitely getting fired lol

Daniel got important clarifications from NVIDIA. TLDR: the "DLSS5 skeptical" were right about *everything*. 1⃣ It's a 2D AI Filter. Input is only color buffer & motion vectors. The model doesn't see geometry, lights, PBR properties, normals, anything🧵 youtu.be/D0EM1vKt36s

@GeForce_JacobF Reshade can do all this without the need for AI slop.

DLSS 5 off vs on example in Zorah, check out the improved occlusion, shadowing and material detail

@ForArt @Pirat_Nation They consulted the producers, not the devs.

@Pirat_Nation Wait so they did not even consult the companies for the AI "upgrades" to showcase the games?

NVIDIA's DLSS 5 announcement at GTC 2026 surprised even the studios featured in its showcase. Developers from Ubisoft and Capcom reportedly learned about the full generative AI details at the same time as the public. "We found out at the same time as the public," said one Ubisoft developer.

@eurogamer I love that news site are calling them out too lol

Nvidia has responded to the widespread criticism of its new tech known as DLSS 5, which it says will "[bridge] the divide between rendering and reality", but from what we have seen so far mostly appears to layer a gaudy AI filter over a game's original work. bit.ly/4uCubjm

So ... turns out that those studios that "made" those DLSS 5 clips didn't know anything about it, either. It was obviously Nvidia, hence why they all look the same.

@compusemble So what’s your excuse now that Jensen quite literally said that it works at a geometry level ?

People legit think DLSS 5 is an AI face generator 💀 DLSS 5 has no mechanism with which it can alter geometry or the underlying asset. It just takes a game’s color & motion vectors & then adds more realistic lighting to the image. Nothing within DLSS 5 allows it to alter geometry

@AestheticGamer1 Do you have some insights on how Capcom is planning to handle the two controversial part of Code Veronica, aka Alfred's whole deal as well as Steve's character ?

(2/2) That's all the context, it's not my claim. It's from something that went public a bit accidentally, I think it was an honest mistake so don't want to get anyone in trouble. But yeah, paints Ada being involved in RE9's DLC in some way. So to see how that goes ultimately.

(1/2) Okay, so I sat on this for a bit, & thank you to @StiviwonderN for bringing it to my attention. There was a slight slip up somewhere (I won't give context), this isn't from my sources, unintentional leak. But Ada Wong is very likely in the Resident Evil Requiem's DLC.

@synaesthesiajp @marcobayod @Genki_JPN She straight up doesnt look like the original model they used at all, what are you smoking ?

Grace was made from a photogrammetry scan - the DLSS5 version is objectively closer to that scan. It was done under the direction of the game team who made RE9. It is making some assumptions on lighting, but you can see all the stuff people are complaining about in the base model. She has eye shadow, she has lipstick on, etc. The original scene's lighting is VERY video gamey. I am really surprised that people are so invested in defending the absence of consistent specular highlights as some sort of intentional art direction and not an understanding that lights are computationally expensive and consistent tradeoffs are made to accommodate that.

Great article on what DLSS 5 is actually doing. I know everyone is looking at faces, but look at the leather jacket. Look at the correct lighting on the neck. Look at the light diffusion in the hair (which is VERY hard to do right with strand hair techniques). This is awesome.

@JulienChieze C'est marrant, les grifters dans ton genre arrête pas de dire que "les dev adorent ça" mais n'offrent aucune preuve, aucun interview, rien.

Depuis l’annonce de Nvidia hier soir, j’ai eu des discussions super intéressantes avec des personnes très bien placées dans l’industrie et ce qu’on voit là n’est vraiment la partie émergée de l’iceberg. Profitons des dernières années du jeu vidéo « classique », tout va progressivement changer : création, distribution…

@AestheticGamer1 I'm really hoping Capcom pulls back from it after seeing the overwhelmingly negative reception from their fanbase.

Fuck AI. The irony of the whole DLSS5 situation is even those pretending it looks good to praise it can't even afford it anyway, because AI is sky rocketing the price to buy a PC rig to run it. Literally praising the trash that's fucking them over, but what else is new?

the complete disconnect between what consumers want vs. what they’re producing is staggering. support REAL art

@synaesthesiajp Nah it just looks terrible, in every way possible lol

All you guys roasting DLSS 5 like it doesn’t look better/is detracting from art direction are absolutely insane. The lighting and shading improvements are bonkers. If that was shown as a next-gen hardware reveal and not “AI” you guys would be going nuts like the Watch Dogs demo.

Don’t buy this. They did a full demonstration and reveal the way it was because they thought it looked great. If it looked bad, they would’ve just waited to have the devs show off how good it could look. GenAI isn’t here to produce art. It’s tricking you into thinking it is.

@MrBenB I miss the times when Nvidia didn't sell its soul to AI slop.

This is a great break down for anyone that can’t see a live DLSS 5 demo yet. It answers many of the questions out there and Ryan provides great analysis. It’s so great that everyone is discussing gaming tech and the jump in graphics. There is still so much to talk about!

@ryanshrout @NVIDIAGeForce Your entire work is being an AI shill, not surprised you like shit from a butt.

I went hands-on with @NVIDIAGeForce DLSS 5 across multiple games at GTC and the early "it's just a face filter" isn't the right take. The improvements to shadows, water, foliage, clothing, and even a coffee maker in Starfield are just as impressive as the character enhancements. I wrote up my full impressions including some details on the dual-GPU demo setup and the developer control story that I think matters quite a bit.

@NVIDIAGeForce @ryanshrout Fuck off with your AI bullshit.

@ryanshrout 💚

@BethesdaStudios @digitalfoundry How about you just remove it and save what's left of your reputation ?

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’ control, and totally optional for players.

DLSS 5 brings next-gen quality, photo-realistic lighting to GeForce RTX 50 series. We've been hands-on with four games and here are our first impressions: youtu.be/4ZlwTtgbgVA
