I'm completely speechless. This looks so terrible I thought it was a joke, but apparently Nvidia released these demos to impress people. DLSS 5 runs the entire game through an AI filter, making every character look like it's running through an ultra realistic beauty filter.

The photo above is used as the promo image for the official blog post by the way. It completely ignores artistic intent and makes Grace's face look "sexier" because apparently that's what realism looks like now.

I wouldn't be so baffled if this was some experimental setting they were testing, but they're advertising this as the next gen DLSS. As in, this is their image of what the future of gaming should be. A massive F U to every artist in the industry. Well done, Nvidia.

Digital Foundry somehow still praises it ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

So absolutely nothing new? DLSS has always been slop.

EDIT: Lol @ the downvotes, enjoy your fake, blurry frames. Reminder that artifacting used to be only for dying GPUs

Leon looks like that Russian guy with the massive chin. RTX on

Lol it gave her low income girl eyes and dyed roots

These images and press release is not for gamers, but for shareholders to โ€œfeelโ€ like their investments are going to pay off.

Changed the bone structure of the face and the clavicle.

If claims about video game characters setting standards for beauty, hold any substance, then the same logic should be calling this racist propaganda.

Looking at the first comparison I thought it was pretty good, but weird that they changed her hair though.

Then I got to all the comparison shots in the NVIDIA blog post and noticed it basically just brightens dark scenes, relights characters and eats background detail, this looks very half baked to me.

Omg someone tell that young person her lips are looking thin!

LOL The right image looks so haggard, hints at the potential training on NSFW material those certain features being changed on Grace's model, particularly the emphasis on her lips, hair, and gaunter features. I actually prefer the left, as it seems more in the confines of the game's original portrayal of Grace; the game's background looks better in the left image vs the right image which seems cartoonish in nature. Yikes, NVIDIA is making a big argument for me to fully convert to AMD (which has better open drivers). Realism is fine and all, if that was the original intent of the game's designers.
