Would you concede that there is a difference between an hobbyist making minor adjustments to a image and a multibillion-dollar company that’s promoting a solution that effectively replaces the entire image with a new a one and that creating a ecosystem depentend on such a solution may go the same way PhysX did?

Do you guys turn your graphics settings to lowest to make sure not to interfere with “artistic vision”?

This such a bad take and demonstrates a total disregard for the role of technical artists and design.

Anti-aliasing aims to overcome an inherent limitation a raster (of pixels) may present, in oder to bring the actual result closer to an artist’s vision. The same can be said for any other technique. The common denominator is, that they all attempt to bring a artistd vision for their work closer to reality.

DLSS5, on the other hand, brings the result closer to Nvidias vision of what “good” looks like. And I think it looks bland and badly photoshopped and I want to see more good looking games.

Because of some comments, I’d like to add:

“Optimization” isn’t the same as “high fps”. Optimization is a game of priorities. Take the demo scene: these programs may be 64KB in size (on disk) but are capable of choking a 5090 to death.

This may just mean we get even worse performing titles, because the “quadruple-A” guys don’t give a fuck.

If your heart holds even the tiniest itch for adventure, you’ll probably want to play this game. I don’t game as often anymore, because the older I get, the fewer experiences can really captivate me.

Outer Wilds did. I have a friend who told me he teared up during the end game, without understanding why, and I remember someone on Reddit comparing it to a religious experience.

It really makes you feel something.

Yes, I’ve checked with a AVM Fritzbox. They do deligate /56.
