Thankfully sc94597 is bringing knowledge and thoughtfulness to the table to offset a lot of really bad-faith takes.

If you're philosophically against AI full stop, regardless of what improvements it could yield, then fair enough (I also have fear that it could well be a net bad for all us non-billionaires).

But those that are pretending to give an honest, unbiased assessment, only focussing solely on some of the faces & throwing the term 'slop' around need to grow up - you're takes are obviously bad-faith & you're not really looking for an honest conversation about the pros and cons of the technology.

Some of the comparisons shown on nvidia's site are undeniably a vast improvement with DLSS5.

Save for 1 dude's face, all of the examples shown for Hogwarts Legacy and the Zora demo are incredible.

The HL shot of the girl standing by the cauldron, I just don't buy that anyone can seriously argue that any of EA's devs or artists would prefer the before shot, the pearl-clutching is off the charts.

The tech isn't even out yet and people are pretending that improvements can't be made or the tech implemented better.

Unless nvidia pull the plug or devs don't incorporate it due to the moral panic A LOT of this thread's posts won't age well.

Oh they'll make it look better ... eventually it will look photo real, because AI filters can already do that now. 

There's probably no reason this kind of thing can't be applied to real time games right now or soon enough ...

But likely you won't own the GPU by that point or it will cost a fortune. 

Nvidia wants to move away from selling consumer grade GPUs, that's not where the big money is at, if they can shift gaming towards AI generated imagery, they can sell a shit ton of servers to whatever game company chooses to stream those assets. They're not doing this for gamers. 

What they want is an endless loop where all these companies buying AI servers now have to keep buying new ones every 3-5 years, and LLMs isn't going to cut it alone. You need to higher intensive compute tasks ... like say video rendering and real time video game environments ... that will definitely force a lot of AI spend because the compute requirements on that will be through the roof. 

Even for this "beginning step" they're likely going to ask for $3000++ for a 6090 GPU, lol, might be low balling it there because even 5090s are going for $4000+ each on the open market right now and I'm sure Nvidia sees that.
