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:
Nvidia actually used two RTX 5090s for its demos: one plays the game, the other exclusively runs the DLSS 5 technology.
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.

‘Artists have the final say’
They already had the final say.
I think their most gracious implication goes like
‘Artists have the final say’ [for now]
People act like mods and filters haven’t been around for decades. I can already put filters on my games, and have been for years
New Worms game looking hype though
Wait, is there a new worms game for real? The best couch multiplayer, dog cuss your friends and family game ever.
Ah, just a joke sadly. It’s been a hot minute though, huh?
Can’t believe DF is so positive about this, just looks horrible. I’ve actually been quite positive about technologies like DLSS and FSR but this… no thanks.
Crazy to me to see people just now waking up to just how underinformed Digital Foundry really is to technical details, and how much they sold out.
DLSS 6: You don’t even need to design your game. AI will generate it in real time.🤡
You joke, but this is actually something people are trying to do.
Ew. It looks like ai porn. I feel so bad for the teenage boys who are jerking off to that shit not realizing they’re going to royally screw up their attraction to real women.
Makes perfect sense in context.
Nvidia is no longer a gaming company. They do not care about gamers. They are actively DRIVING AWAY gamers as fast as they can, because AI chips are more lucrative than dirty smelly tiny consumer products.
This is meant to show off real-time AI generation performance, which is massively marketable to AI companies. Not consumers. Nothing is about consumers.
Is the DLSS AI slop going to lead to homogenization of game aesthetics? That’s really fucking lame.
Games will soon be just low poly slop with AI enhancements to look good.
I’ll take PS1 era low-poly with no AI if it means games will get 20x smaller in size.
techno-fascists are incapable of making decent art, hence why they love this shit. They don’t care about Grace as a character or what her design can tell us about her, she needs to be “upgraded” to look like the most generic model ever because they don’t care to actually understand anything about the characters or story or fucking anything at all
To be fair, I’ve never cared about the story of a video game character
do you just stare at the screen when playing something like Disco Elysium
Yeah no at this point nuke the whole fucking company.
Someone reported your comment.
that’s glorification of violence and then there’s nuclear options…
You don’t have a pocket nuke, do you?
Last I checked I’m not the president lmao
Peak grift. Hopefully it’s all downhill from here.
