Whatever its doing, they got me..... if they can fix the performance. I also think its not going to work for every game, and that's fine.
This and probably Cyberpunk are the perfect showcase for it.
If the model is well trained on proper data (not just humans), it can have nice results in some situations for sure but also really bad in other. Performance though - I would be very happy to see them improve it further but with current tech it seems unlikely. They could add more tensors in future GPUs but that would likely replace a bunch of standard cuda cores and then most other games will suffer to get a faster AI processing. Still, not something current GPUs can do, so I suspect there would have to be some compromises made here to make it faster - put it before upscaling in lower resolution, make the model smaller and faster (but worse quality most likely) etc. Looking forward to see what Nvidia will come up with, considering their revenue, but cynic on me suspects they will want to sell new/future GPUs with AI tech and not make things better for older ones. Which is why they initially wanted it to be Blackwell only and then got forced to make semi-promise to give it to 4k too. That said, officially this isn't even coming to many games (all mods aside) so it might be much less popular than some people imagine.
DLSS 5.0 adds 8-13.7ms input lag. I'm out, worst tech ever etc.
I really liked the one thing that said in this video as most people even here do not think about it at all - DLSS5 cost about 10ms of processing time per frame. If a good developer got free extra 10ms to use to generate a frame, they could do wonders. That means better quality than DLSS5 could do, in engine. In other words, even DF admits, this is a very interesting but weird tech as it cost more than what you could do in the engine with better results if you wanted to spend those 10ms extra. But then people would complain the game works way too slow and yet with dlss5 causing same FPS hit they seem very happy to use it in many cases. To me that sounds like another tool to offload the quality of graphics from Devs to end user, which is generally very bad.
Hah, as I commented earlier, modders move way faster and with mind better result in this case than the multi billion corporation. Not very surprising these days - Nvidia CEO himself said many time AI at home will speed up development of many things. Just be didn't realise that would make his own company just look bad
I remember the amount of crying and screaming when DLSS was initially released, And then people started to actually use it and all went quiet.
Did it go quiet or did you simply gravitate to places that only praise it? I still see people complaining left and right along with people praising it left and right, as I don't like to be stuck in one place with one sided opinions.
Same thing has been happening with technology all throughout human history, People cry and scream but then they actually use the tech and they stop crying and screaming, Then the next innovation comes along and the crying and screaming starts again.
Uff, that's a really bad take. No, most cries about tech was historically done by people whom it affected negatively directly and threatened their livelihood. Not because of some "I don't like new things!". And in many cases those people really suffered but the majority benefited and majority tends to win. In this case it's really just a bunch of nerds (like new
) that care either way because most gamers do not care one bit about such things, they only want fun game and often stick to just one for months before getting another one (as multiple studies shown) etc. You are confounding social media outcry with what people really do irl here, IMHO - one tends to have nothing to do with the other.
