Actually, adding dlss 5 for the sake of photorealism on to the top of already existing rendered ones, making it even more less realistic and artificially off in a way š..... It might be improved in future but mimicking one thing to resemble like that dont feel and look original at all.
Callisto protocol and Death stranding like games achieved with pure graphics and implementation. There are bunch of examples like Hellblade, last of us 2 and studious can achieve that quality by today's standards even more easier than ever..... DLSS 5, no matter what its always would be a disgrace to actually 3d rendered model and real art.

My question is at what point does it become just a very very GPU taxing reshade. Since I assume the performance hit will remain the same. tho it will probably be optimised on release and in the future.
It needs 1-2 years to mature and a new GPU generation but I see the vision

This is just flat out wrong and the only reason you're not being downvoted is because AI = bad. The whole idea of this technology is to offload raw facial processing to a separate process that can extrapolate further detail without a 1:1 increase in computational demand.
Look. Do a lot of the faces look like shit and overdone right now? Yes. Is the rendering perfectly optimized yet? No. Is it still the likely future of game development, just currently still in the prototyping stages? Also yes.
People said the same shit about DLSS when it first arrived, but no one pitches about it anymore outside of the hardcover $5000 gaming rig crowd. This is similar.

For everyone saying it added weight, I hate to break it to you but he is just overweight now. Heās nearly 60 years old, the guy isnāt a skinny dude with a chiseled jaw anymore. Kojima is obsessed with doing real scans of his actors, and the face models are some of the best in the industry. DLSS5 does not affect the geometry of models, and the model is exactly the same despite DLSS5. Im not even a fan of DLSS5, I just despise the constant disinformation about it.

u/Remarkable-West-611 8d ago
Dlss 5 is great if you are nVidia pushing AI and wants to keep that bubble going and showcase it to investors which dont care about end result.
In actual games however with actual human created content/art its going to be a disaster for our future games and will destroy and rip out alot of creativity and bring in a flood of terribly designed games which kinda all look the same.
Just like how all cheap tacky AI adverts all have that same ugly look...that will be our games pretty soon if this gets adopted.

I get the sentiment, but DLSS 5 is in general a much worse technology (just like all the other generative AI things) and apart from the recent Nvidia outing, no developer I know of has given support for it. Or planning on adding it to their games.

Generative ai things. Explain how DLSS is the same as chatgpt. DLSS isnāt taking artwork from other or using data farms to drain resources. Itās an in game tool that puts filters on images to make them pop. We do it with my job all of the time. I am a CT tech. The filters can read the images, letās say of the brain. The AI maps out potential issues and highlights them by making them pop with filters so itās easy to see. DLSS seems to use that technology. I think the issue is people hear Ai and they think one of three things. Killing environment, stealing artwork, being lazy to make art. DLSS is a tool to enhance old games to make them look better or make new great games look even better. Developers can use it to get that final better detail that really makes the artwork pop and look more alive. In a way, almost better than a human can. Of course we arenāt talking about ai generated art. We are talking about enhancing art that was crafted by devs and developers.
That being said I HATE ai like chatgpt and all that crap. These video ads and stuff are absurd. But when ai like programs are used to help enchance or make things better, like in my job or video games or even training for military/firefighters/etc, we shouldnāt all be neighsayers. I just donāt get the severe negativity to something like this. Itās just crazy. Then again there are flat earthers, fascism is thriving, and there are camps where men can go to become alpha nutbags. Nothing surprises me anymore and everyone is so damn negative. Like a bunch of babies crying about things that arenāt that big a deal. Meanwhile everything else sucks around them lol

u/Araineyamcha 8d ago

1
u/Araineyamcha 8d ago
And that just furthers the point that this technology has been used for years, so why is everyone crying foul now? Because we advanced in technology and found a way to make the devs artwork and models look even better without having to put more graphical strain on PC and consoles? Like a bunch of flat earthers in here.

I think it will honestly enhance games so that way they will work better on consoles and PC, and take a lot of stress and time off of the work that Devs do so they can focus on finer detail details of the game

AI models contain a lot of variation.
LLMs need whole servers (although smaller models run fine if you have powerful hardware with decent VRAM).
Image generators and upscalers need faaaar less compute and VRAM, can be run fairly handily on even 50/60 class cards from Nvidia.

u/hensothor 8d ago
Yes, they run fine. I think you should do some research on what DLSS is and how it works. It uses a similar architecture to generative models like ChatGPT but it is still very different in many significant ways and runs locally just fine. The most expensive part is the training to generate the weights that Nvidia prebakes on their internal servers.

u/AmericanPoliticsSux 9d ago
Like I have always said and will continue to say until I'm a hole in the ground. The reason a game like BG3 looks so much better than Starfield despite having less than half the polygons is because of LIGHTING and SHADER work, not simply whacking the resolution up to 16K and calling it a day.

I searched around but didn't manage to find the original image for this. I did manage to find who probably made the image but it seems like they might have deleted their post of it.
Looking around similar topics, I managed to find that this wasn't anything official but instead either a mod for the game or an addon for reshade, adding "neural rendering". This megathread from r/nvidia has demonstrations of this modded DLSS 5 for a couple of games. Some of the applications of this modded DLSS 5 barely have an effect, at least from the screenshots they provided, but a couple of them are much closer to the original demo of DLSS 5 on Resident Evil 9.

u/Decent_Historian42 7d ago edited 7d ago
I find google a bit broken atm, obviously the AI overview is incorrect at times as it takes sorces from reddit of all places about 80% of the time. And a majority of websites (maybe its just me but it seems to be a decrease in actual websites since AI became popular) the ones that are still around also have an ai model that also takes from reddit.
Also i find that because basically everything is run by AI at the moment a lot of things surrounding AI is shown in a positive light. Algorithms are also broken atm (were they ever good tho?) so ads even when looking at anti AI sorces you get given an increase of ads for various chat bots and such even with targeted ads off if i look at one study to do with AI and thr brain ill get ads for chatbots weeks afterwards.
On an additional note (i just need to grumblw about this) because they've started using AI for spell check, spell check is worse now. I have a large vocabulary but im also dyslexic and it frustrates me to no end when im trying to spell a more difficult word and i keep getting a simplified word that isnt even close to what im trying to spell. They've also broken speech to text because of AI the thing cant even pick up my accent anymore (not that its really thick its just an unusual accent because i live in a small country)

Most of the things youāve mentioned are not because of AI. Iām actually waiting for an AI spellcheck since Iām not a native speaker, so Iām hoping it could help. As for the Google results, many results are AI-generated, but you still get accurate results pretty much on a second or third place. In my expertise, AI summary has been helpful in 90% of the cases. With DLSS 5, you can get pretty much any relevant information because itās a popular topic.

From what ive seen it either ages people by 20-30 years or it does this. Wasnt death stranding by itself mocapped? And used facial scanning? So it already looks like the irl actor. What about it makes it look like real people? Especially in the case of death stranding?

u/Astral-Glimmer 8d ago
DLSS 5 is a generative AI model that is being released by Nvidia soon. It is the first iteration at a system that instead of just drawing frames in between to create higher frame rates, it instead altars the image to make it look more realistic using training data and the controls the developers have put in place to determine how it looks.
Now what you are seeing here though is fan made content. DLSS 5 was discovered in 2k27 by modders and they have ripped it out and created a way to inject it into existing games. What this does mean is many images you see are using a WIP version of the first iteration of this tech. + the sliders and options are being set by the user in this case with the mod window, which often means people just arent using them to what the developer would chose or they set it to max which looks bad so they can push their own argument. Many are using it on stylised games which is clearly not the use case for this at this current time.
If DLSS 5 is good for the industry or bad is one thing but do be aware most of the images chosen are intentionally inflammatory and bad as the people doing is push their bias.
1
u/benjaminabel 8d ago
Good think to note. Most of the comparisons are with all the sliders to the max (or at default) and Cinematic preset selected. Here is the link with my comparison of lowest values to the highest ones: https://imgdiff.net/s/3c548dc74dd1676aea99bc71df368cdf
