Digital Foundry: DLSS5 First Look
- Thread starter lowfat
- Start date
For once, I would actually tag these videos with "INSANE", rather than the usual click-baiting.
Looks impressive, especially Starfield that's pretty lacking in graphics overall. Artistic intent may be lost at times though but NVIDIA claims there are controls for the developer to dial it in.
I'm guessing this is a 50-series only, I can't really see 40-series being fast enough to do this.
And while photorealism does look impressive, once you are in and moving around, will you really notice? As all the games I can remember from my childhood, look photorealistic in my mind until I lookup a screenshot and wonder how my memory is so wrong... the new Star Wars Galactic Racer looks like how I remember the original Star Wars Pod Racer game for example.
What I'm not sure of, is it because those graphics were "good" at the time that I remember them as being photorealistic, or is it that you remember the "experience" of the game itself and not the graphics at all, and thus make up your own "image" of it?

I am seeing so many "AI slop" videos. It drives me crazy since so many are just anti-AI and sit there and try to tell me that Grace from RE looks worse or that Starfield doesn't look way way better with it.
The differences are huge and frankly they all look better, at least if you are going for realistic. The lighting is way better and it shows, even just forgetting about characters, look at the huge improvement to the environments. And lets face it, this is a demo of the tech that is not due till this fall at some point.
And anyone thinking the AI stuff will go away, just doesn't get that it is improving at amazing speeds and before long it will be a tool that damn near everyone uses. And that is not to say it is generating all of your characters, but using something like this DLSS 5, to help being them to life is going to happen.

Wonder if we need to buy the RTX 6000 to use since Nvidia loves to lock every DLSS behind a certain GPU Arch and say F Unto every other generation when it comes to upgrading the DLSS model 
Perhaps once a new game is released with DLSS5 from the get go, these comments will go away? I can see some people being annoyed that their existing games are changing radically, almost like you've installed a mod.
My understanding is that it'll be locked behind the 5000 series. Although that's annoying, it makes sense in this case since the raw horsepower required to run it seems pretty high.Wonder if we need to buy the RTX 6000 to use since Nvidia loves to lock every DLSS behind a certain GPU Arch and say F Unto every other generation when it comes to upgrading the DLSS model
If some don't like the new look I can understand that. But dlss has always been something that you can enable or disable, and I believe that you can select which version of dlss you want in many games. So you can simply choose not to use it if it's not to your taste.
I was pretty impressed with it, but I do realise the comments online from some and here about it replacing the artists intentions. I suppose that could be frustrating, but as also said here if it is selectable, tunable, that might be fine.
Honestly although some have said it looks like the characters have been put through a Snapchat filter, I thought the Starfield ones looked greatly improved

Maybe I misunderstood their post-analysis, but it seems this demo required the equivalent processing power of 2 x RTX 5090s to run?
I am impressed with it to an extent, but how feasible would it be to scale it to 16GB current consumer cards?

They showed a Quake 3 demo of it and it looks worse 
this doesnt seem like a good use of the technology.
