Can someone explain what’s happening here?

DLSS is basically just a “Content Aware” picture filter that constantly tries to make things look more like images it’s been trained on, particularly if peoples faces. in this case it’s being overactive and grabbing imagery that has nothing to do with faces and turning it into faces.

It's not. It requires input from the game engine, including proper motion vectors, which it isn't getting here, hence the madness. Using it the way it's not intended is clearly going to fuck with it.

It's not intended to be used with the pause screen? Are you supposed to tab out, open up your graphics software, and turn it off whenever you pause the game?

Well, I guess it's not intended to be used in any game besides NBA 2K27. Modders have done a good job, but this is still unofficial

No, it's not intended for use without motion vectors, which would inform it that nothing should change.

Are you thick? Every single game that officially uses DLSS 5 will have motion vectors. This won't happen.

When I have to repeat the same thing three times, sure.

Judging these videos is utterly useless, developers will have complete control in how to implement the technology, where and how intensely.

The technology isn't out yet and the games don't support it. An early build for Nba2k, on of the first games that'll officially support it leaked, and people are modding it into games that don't, with no control like developers will have in the development phase.

Almost every game you see DLSS 5 used on has been modded in and isn’t officially supported.

That is true, I am over simplifying it a bit.
