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
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.
@digitalfoundry It makes faces look uncanny valley AI-generated, and it applies a glorified Reshade filter to environments, and it blends the artstyles of all these games together so they lose a lot of their visual identity.
Not a fan, even if I get the intent.
@digitalfoundry You sold off in such a pathetic way. Extremely sad to see
Anyone that doesn't bust laughing at this garbage has a stack of bills up their ass
I can't believe they would showcase something SO HILARIOUSLY BAD 😭😭
@digitalfoundry It's funny people have such an issue with DLSS 5 changing the look of the character but that they have no issue when path tracing does. It like a tech discrimination 😂
@digitalfoundry This is actually disgusting.
I get DF is about tech, but for the longest time it highlighted the incredibly skilled artistry in games. This is Nvidia taking a dump all over games as an art form.
Games are art. This isn't
@digitalfoundry praising this AI slop was the final nail in the coffin. I was subscribed to you for nearly 10 years ... but telling me that this is better than the original, telling my that's next gen and the future .. sorry, but you lost a fan.
@digitalfoundry The presentation did NOT do a good job showing RE Requiem. Grace did NOT look good with DLSS 5. It's in the uncanny valley of weird with Grace's eyes.
@digitalfoundry This looks like it totally re-interprets the lighting, completely ignoring the artistic intent. What a damn shame.
But sure, why care about doing it yourself. N1 priority make product. Let the machine do everything.
@digitalfoundry very interesting direction from nvidia
two 5090s is pretty brutal though, i think getting buy-in on a tech that eats this much if your frame budget will be a tougher sell than nvdia is seemingly touting
one things for sure, say goodbye to "made with gen ai" labels on steam lol
@digitalfoundry It's genuinely sad to see you guys fail to read the room that badly. Note sure what you attempted there, but remember that we see the exact same thing you guys do. We ain't blind.
@digitalfoundry Holy shit this looks so bad. Every fucking DLLS 5 showcase just looks identical because generative AI just merges everything into this one style. It doesn't take into account the differences in art direction at ALL. I'm gonna be sick.
Hot take: the people crying 'AI slop' about DLSS 5 are the same ones who said ray tracing was a gimmick in 2018.
Art direction is baked into the game's assets. DLSS 5 just makes the lighting photorealistic — it's not rewriting the story.
Game devs who USE it right will make masterpieces. The ones who don't? That's on them.

@digitalfoundry What's genuinely the point of having artists create models a specific way if their artistic intent is shat on by this Snapchat filter which changes their entire look?
The examples elsewhere of Requiem are poor.
