That man has drank so much koolaide, he would probably implode of he stopped.
Ah yes, the guy who has never touched a controller in his life knows best what's good for video games.
Fuck nvidia
Slop Wars - DLSS awakening.

Gamers could collectively boycott NVidia cards and it would barely make a dent in their bottom line. It’s time for gamers to show nvidia that they are unequally important to us as we are to them
I haven’t bought a nvidia card in over a decade. Start buying APUs, handhelds, or just keep your current card and turn the graphics down or start playing your backlog. And for the love of god don’t pay for GeForce now.
Meaning that we are right.
I've said this before, and I'll say it again.
Nvidia is destroying gaming.
They started the destruction with the idea of 4k gaming.
When they realized native 4k gaming wasnt going to be feasible.. They knocked gaming to the ground and started kicking it in the ribs with this upscaling bullshit, because who doesnt love a 1080p picture shittily stretched to 4k?
And they curb stomped it by making video cards cost more than what most people make in a fucking month.
and they're beating its unconscious body with bats over this DLSS5 AI obsession bullshit.
and at every step of the way, the gamers were there to deliver dumptrucks of money because they don't give a fuck about ruining everything as long as they can have their new shiny. Being in the cool kids club by having a new shiny is more important than the havok they are wrecking with their decisions to support this shit.
But don't worry..They'll still go online and cry about the unfairness of it all.
and AMD is desperately trying to play catchup so they can try to steal a sliver of the bullshit pie as well, before someone tries to point out me not addressing AMD (since its not the topic), or try to hail it as the saviour of gaming kind.
Well 4k gaming was always going to happen for high-end hardware, they just pushed faster adoption to sell more cards. It's only now starting to be ready without DLSS.
It does suck indeed, though. I'm quite happy with 1440p and my next card, whenever I can actually afford and justify the upgrade, will allow me to reach 120 fps more easily, without DLSS.
So- this would potentially render in-game cosmetics useless. You could just DLSS some cosmetic over your character for 'free' and skip paying for in-game cosmetic items. You could retexture or skin a model into something else with this tech, theoretically.
Heck, this could be a banned feature for online competitive games if you DLSS enemies to be easier to see.
Non-gaming applications of such tech are kinda frightening, but good to be aware of the possibility. AI swapping of characters has been something they've been working on. I'm guessing it will be sold as some kinda feature where you can give the AI some model of yourself, and it swaps the main character of a show or movie for your likeness. People will find it neat and try it and it will sorta work, but mostly just be a novelty. Then you'll see that data get used for advertising, where they swap out the character in the Ad for you to catch your attention. If they try to catalog every person, this could be valuable and used to maliciously scam people by cloning your voice to mimic you and do all sorts of terrible things.
I imagine in a few years after some major scams and such that we'll need some new verification systems to try to ensure that transactions are between real people and not just AI with your information. Yes, it will be intrusive and tracking, but will be required to maintain online commerce. Online marketplaces will struggle and possibly collapse without some way to authenticate a transaction. Hey, we may see a return to physical stores and doing everything in person again!
Seems like, based on his own words, that gamers were absolutely right about DLSS 5. At least as far as I can tell.
We don't want GenAI horseshit in games.
Do not fuck up my games, Jenny
Speaking of slop....does Huang, "the wang", have only one leather jacket? Isn't that weird? Is he trying to brand like the Jobs turtleneck?
Gamers love to hear that.
"As ive explained, this is what consumers want. And I want Nvidia stock to go well."
Oh no, did the dirty peasants hurt you itty bitty ego, mister boo-ang?
Oh the guy trying to sell us the pail of vomit says its actually great? Huh.
He taking his lead from the piece of orange shit in the White House?
