What's just a sidenote in the slides is that they used two 5090s in the demo video. One for the conventional rendering and one for the AI pass. That's too much overhead for what's achieved. If they both run at 100% it's 1200W mindboggling.
It's a tech demo.

Re: Nvidia's DLSS 5 uses generative AI to boost photorealism in video games
#22I am still quite shocked that anyone looked at the side by side images within Nvidia and actually thought this was good and no one would have an issue with this. Now I will admit that if you don't compare them, the final image looks ok. Like if I did not know what was happening I likely wouldn't give it a second thought. It looks off but so many video games already look off that I don't think I would have really thou…
It is really tragic because DLSS has been pretty great so far.

#23Controversial opinion. I am really not a fan of this. Artificially changing graphics to make them 'look better' is similar to my feelings around the (awful) Halo Anniversary remaster. Summed up nicely by Noodle - https://youtu.be/MyeCb99cb2Q (starts from 2:28)
That is not controversial at all. Everybody is mocking it.

Gaming isn't even a side project for them anymore, last time I checked it was under 3% of their revenues, I wouldn't be surprised if it's under 1% now, I don't think they care much if at all about this domain anymore

#25Personally, think it's just people freaked out that it's being improved on by AI, and therefore apart of the "AI slop" trend. Think if they had done this all with no AI and just polygons, it'd be hailed as a large step forward in graphics.
... and btw, am just as freaked out about AI taking over the creative fields as a lot of others (am a musician myself), but have to try to objective, and in my opinion, DLSS 5 is impressive.

100ms latency to blur the game isnt what i'd consider great

more like 10-12%

#29Am not 100% what's going on and why everyone is ragging on it, but to me, DLSS 5 clearly improves the graphics most of the time. Yeah, almost all the faces look more real, with more realistic skin and shadows instead looking like those CGI faces with poor detail from 12 years ago. Personally, think it's just people freaked out that it's being improved on by AI, and therefore apart of the "AI slop" trend. Think if the…

They dont look real the lighting is terrible. There is lighting that would suggest two light sources on one part and lighting that would suggest one light source on other parts. Its jarring.
