DLSS 5 is building up to be a significant step for upscaling tech just when we thought AMD was finally catching up . However, many people may still worry about artistic intent, even if the new demos look a lot more polished and mature. We'll have to see what happens when it finally releases. There is no official release date for DLSS 5, but it should launch during Q3 2026 as Nvidia continues to tweak the models and its parameters based on community feedback.

Neilbob Still a bit of uncanny valley possibly, but it's hard to tell in still images. But whatever, I'm sure they've already started work on DLSS 6, whereby every clothing entity will be turned into a leather jacket. Along with a slider that imbues other entities with a little leather jacket; guns, bollards, cars, trees, the sun, spaceships, food mixers, fireballs, alligators, cows and lambs. And human(oids). The model should have a LOT of training, considering all the pictures and videos available. Reply

Leather jackets and all other forms of baryonic matter are made of the same subatomic particles. Everything is a leather jacket to some degree. Reply

hotaru251 The upscaling tech was almost slammed by some press and enthusiasts for overstepping its boundaries and going too far with AI. TH, for all that is holy, proofread before submitting. and if you are speed up writing articles using ai…at least proof read its output slowly as its a growing issue with issues such as unclear phrasing (yet making a statement) missing words, or incorrect words…. the press, the game devs, & consumers were ALL slamming it because it was changing how game is meant to look and thats ignoring the fact their "claims" were straight up lies about how much control developers had when using it. (and how nvidia says it isnt a filter yet one of the tech ppl working on it in Q&A stated it was infact that) Reply
derekullo Meh … bugs to fix later. Call it a filter, Call it enhancing the truth, Just Make It Beautiful ! Ohh look an impeccably rendered leather jacket !!! https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/nvidiaweb/geforce/news/dlss5-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games/nvidia-dlss-5-geforce-rtx-starfield-comparison-001-on.jpeg Reply
warezme I can't say I ever totally hated the original since it was optional and you could either use it or not. It seemed like a non issue if you had a choice. Reply

I don't like corpo whitewashing and propaganda. If I keep seeing this, probably will move away to another media. Reply
