I’m completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it’s running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.
The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace’s face look “sexier” because apparently that’s what realism looks like now.
I wouldn’t be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they’re advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.


Check out this fun little nugget from further down in the article:
An entire second GPU just to run it.
Can hardly afford or find one, they expect us to buy two? Fuck them
They have no intention to sell them to us. They’ll maybe let us play it like this thorugh GeForce Now, or any other streaming service.
They don’t want regular folk to buy PCs anymore.
So, yes. Fuck them indeed.
Ha ha thats great. Reminds me of PhysX back in the day where initially it needed a dedicated card.
Some of us are old enough to remember when your games would sound different depending on which sound card you had installed.
