I guess I don’t care. Like it’s mostly for AAA games which I don’t play and for Nvidia cards which I don’t own. And even if I could use it, it’s totally optional. Since it apparently sucks, I don’t think many people will use it.
Oh, only a 50% performance hit on very pricy hardware for making automated lighting choices and complete face redesigns that don’t respect the designers’ and artists’ vision?
What a steal!
So don’t use the filter on games that weren’t released with it. And you have to use it on games that released with it, because that was the intended artistic vision. Problem solved now can you shut the fuck up about it please real problems exist.
Real problems like gen AI’s impact on the environment and the cost and accessibility of technology?
Yes leave my filters alone. It shows how fucking basic some people will themselves to be. It’s a filter get a grip on reality you have a severe lack of knowledge if you think this is a problem.
I think this is one of the reasons why Nvidia developed this. First it makes it a “unique” feature of Nvidia hardware, where you rely on. And secondly the huge impact in performance, so you are incentivized to buy new and faster Nvidia hardware. I don’t see any other reason why Nvidia would develop this DLSS 5 Ai Slop technology.
This feels like motion smoothing on TVs. It’s super unclear why manufacturers put it on since the first thing any same person does is turn it off. This feels like something similar, I suspect most gamers are just going to turn it off rather than leave it on and buy better hardware especially at the moment.
Bold of you to assume normies can buy this shit. Spending $4000 on a hunk of metal that works slightly better than that $500 hunk of metal you bought 4 years ago doesnt make a whole lot of sense
So don’t buy new graphics card then. Same end result you don’t have to deal with the AI slop.
Hopefully the AI bubble bursts sometime soon and we can get back to normal. All that needs to happen is governments need to stop subsidising AI companies. Eventually a combination of public pressure and the complete lack of any progress from the companies will cause that to happen.
DLSS is a plague.
Another case of “don’t you have phones”
Cloud looks like Scarlet Johansson, I can’t unsee it.
Cloud looks like they’re transitioning. Good for them.
We support Cloud in all their endeavors. DLSS can still fuck off ❤️
Agreed
All examples look samey in the worst way.
i mean, we don’t know what the training was like for this version. if it was trained on a limited subset of people (like NBA opkayers for NBA 2k) that could easily explain why. In future games that want to support this, they could train it specifically on the actor/models they used.
Not that final fantasy characters look like humans their stylized in a particular way and when you try and humanize that style it looks like an alien trying to fit in among humans with a slightly unconvincing skin suit
Cloud “Marshall Mathers” Johansson.
Shit! Me neither now T_T
“Hello I’m david bowie.”
I’m tired, boss.
I guess they felt videogames didn’t look quite enough like soap operas or instagram “models”.
I want to see it with Quake
If the point of the tech was to make Jesse Faden look like an old-aged pensioner, then mission accomplished.
I’m sorry, but if my wife looked like this in her 60s and 70s I’d be very happy.
She’s supposed to be 35 in the game. The videos in the article didn’t make her look older than 40. The article is hyperbole.
Also that Skyrim character look bad regardless of DLSS on or off is not a surprise. Fans probably call it a feature. Just shows the tech isn’t magic.
Thx I hate it
Why exactly should I hate it? This doesn’t look that scary to me, I feel like it’s just climbing up from the uncanny valley.
If you think thats what Cloud looks like… I shouldn’t have to even explain the rest…
In the remake cloud already looks like a weirdo, he doesn’t need help from DLSS.
Twinks look like weirdo’s? Huh
They do at the intersection of anime and Mad Max it turns out.
Cool been waiting for this for a decade
It looks really good too. What was all the hate about exactly?
E: Since it is about artistic integrity you will shut the fuck up when a game is released with it, because that was the intended vision. Right? Right???
Oh, idk, destroying artistic integrity? Seems like the biggest reason, but there are probably more.
Artistic integrity? That’s absolute nonsense. It’s graphics settings. The NBA game looks like an actual broadcast now it’s incredible.
It’s the next step in computer graphics realism cannot be achieved with traditional graphics neural rendering is here. You have a problem with how others enjoy their games? You had no right before AI, and you have no right after it either fuck you.
Yes, dipshit, artistic integrity. The artists behind a game makes choices for a reason. This crappy ai filter harms the intentions of a designer while adding absolutely nothing.
So don’t use it then you insidious imbecile. Really isn’t that difficult a concept to wrap you head around. You had no right to tell people what shader settings they could use before AI, and you have no right after it either. Who the fuck do you think you are you that you think you can dictate a fucking filter? Pretentious cunt.
While the Skyrim example is more creepy than anything, as it gives all the characters this unnerving, dead-behind-the-eyes look
I dunno, I think it’s an improvement. Have people really forgotten that Skyrim already had an “unnerving dead behind the eyes look”? It’s an old game. This technology looks better than most “HD texture packs” and model pack mods that many players consider mandatory…
Before:
After:
Elder Scrolls games have always been peopled entirely by uggos, and by Jiub it always will be.
“Improvement” my ass.
You asked for it. Grok, enhance this guy’s ass.

I just can’t get over the idea of characters looking like that but at the same time still glitching out in the traditional Skyrim manner.
You know where their heads get stuck in doors and their neck stretches out as they walk across the room.
Why has it chosen to preserve of all things skyrim’s weird eye texture?
Looks like the fucking press secretary. Thanks I hate it.
Reminds me of Amy Schumer lol
look, I’m not in favor of ai slop and DLSS 5 used without creators’ consent or input is fucked…
…but another title for this story could be “unfinished, unreleased product deemed not ready for release” …
Like, you just slapped an unfinished version onto whatever game they had been tinkering with and then roast them for the uncanny valley effect? That’s some manufactured outrage
This tech pops up in the news every now and then and it had this exact problem since the very first iteration. They won’t suddenly fix this now when they couldn’t in the last 8 months.
fall is a month away, and the last demo they gave required a dedicated 5090 just for dlss.
sorry but I’ve worked at enough companies and dealt with enough timetables to say “unreleased is unreleased for a reason”.
what i meant is that there is no way they could get it running acceptably on midrange cards
Control looks great with it, because it has a realistic art style.
It takes any personality away and averages out to something that looks like in anything other. And then does not even fit into the art style and world of the rest of the game. Still image are one thing, moving and eventually speaking or making facial expressions together with other characters in a scenery is a different thing.
This might improve games that were vibed together with Ai in the first place. But not artistic strong and beautiful games crafted by good artists.
The shots of the background already look realistic, and the shots of her face look like a different person
She looks like the same person to me, just in her late 30s or early 40s even though she’s supposed to be 28 in the game.
Control does look more realistic. It’s not just making everyone into supermodels, but adding imperfections and flaws you see in real people. Whether that’s your preference or not is subjective, but it’s less like an Instagram filter than the last demonstration.
