Yeah, but the girl from Resident Evil is actually hot with the DLSS5 filter though.
But that’s just one character in a bunch, and Realism isn’t a good fit for every game.
We should make a DLSS5: on meme community.
I just want my games to be fun. Without 2x 5090’s.
Thankfully there are plenty of developers that haven’t drank the AI Kool aid and are still cranking out great games that have artistic integrity that didn’t require even a single 5090.
Yes! I just got the Rayman 30th anniversary edition. Pretty cheap, ran on a ps1. Having a blast. Also Rayman legends for €4
I’m just gonna copy & paste my comment from another thread on the topic:
They don’t care. Nobody thinks this is a meaningful announcement, it’s just another pretense to justify AI as Nvidia and much of the entire US economy are so deeply sunken-cost invested in the “future AI ecosystem” that they just need any headlines to keep the machine churning. That’s what this is. Doesn’t mean it isn’t real and gamers won’t have to suffer with it, but no point of this is actually to make anyone’s gaming experience better in any way.
I don’t think it’s really aimed at gamers though. It’s a tech demo for what their hardware can do. They say that it was run on a dedicated 5090 which means that to get the same result, you have to be running the game on a 5090 and have a second 5090 just for DLSS5.
This isn’t meant for consumers. It’s aimed at sectors of the market that want realtime gen AI processing of realtime footage, whether 3D generated or live action.
I think they’re purposely taking the backlash from the gaming community, which they obviously don’t care about anymore, to showcase the tech to a different market.
They did announce it at a games event
Astute, I think you’re right.
So you think this is “Lost Pets” of the Dystopian Ring/Flock future?
I think it’s a fair comparison.
“Hey gamers, look what your GPU can do!” winking at the film/tv execs
Someone: Hey nvidia, make this look better!
Nvidia: i got this bro!
Pikachu is meant to be a mouse though, kinda not very fitting.
Okay honestly I want that.
Edit: I’m referring to cat Pikachu. Give me that weird real life animal with taped wooden tails on top of Pokemon.
Seems like it could work well for upscaling Oblivion.
What bothers me the most (besides the general AI slop thing) is that this shit changes the style of games. And imo better graphics alsmost never make a game better. I mean if the graphic is actually better…
My thoughts on this corpulent technology can be summed up by some brilliant thinkers.
“Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius—and a lot of courage—to move in the opposite direction.” – E.F. Schumacher
“The cheapest, fastest, and most reliable components of a computer system are those that aren’t there.” – Gordon Bell
“Keep it simple. A simple solution has elegance. It is the result of an exacting effort to understand the real problem and is recognized by its compelling sense of rightness. I stress this point because it contradicts the conventional view that power increases with complexity. Simplicity provides confidence, reliability, compactness, and speed.” – Charles Moore
Corpulent means fat. Is the technology fat?
I think they’re not using it literally. In this context, corpulent just means bloated/gross. That is also its literal definition.
So I think the word works here.
I’ve never seen it used figuratively, and all the examples in the dictionary are literal, but maybe it’ll catch on.
I’ve never seen it used literally. Ever. Only ever figuratively.
That’s strange to me. Only two examples come to my mind and they’re both literal. Whatever examples you’ve seen of it being used figuratively didn’t make it to the dictionary.
I have only seen it used figuratively, why are you like this?
Like what?
I have never once read corpulent in my life describing the physical state of an individual, it has always been about over indulgence or bloated or overly baroque style. Not saying it has not been used in a way to describe a fat person but that I am not able to prove a negative.
I guess you should read more. I’ve seen it used many times.
Ok, but what am I like that you were asking about?
“Between dealing with minority oppression, general uncertainty, and the rush to replace artists and those who pursued knowledge with machines, it feels like there is no future for me or my craft.”
Jesus…
I guess the big question is how customizable this will end up being - all the arguments against it seem to assume there’s just an on-off switch, and that seems pretty stupid as anything but a tech demo.
This is a really good video about how good DLSS5 works… on backgrounds, without altering artistic intent. If nvidia allows devs to tailor “no go zones” for DLSS, this would be a great thing.
But… Why though? As a dev, why would I go through the ideation process only to have it filtered through TWO GPUs? For what benefit? This type of filtering is completely out of my control as a developer, and I wouldn’t want my game to be attached to third party parasite companies and basically split my player base into two classes.
I agree on two things:
- DLSS5 should not be run where an artist does not want it to be run.
- DLSS5 requiring two GPUs is horrible, and can only push us further towards the dreaded “game in the cloud”
But if a tool enhances a texture in a specific way, for instance sharpening lines along a garment, or adding shadows to an object under a lamp, how is that different than existing texture mapping algs?
As artists learn to predict what these tools do, and where to take advantage of them (such as in backgrounds or on specific textures), I think they will become useful. At least I hope. If nvidia doesn’t provide tooling to do that, then I’m 100% on the same page as you.
I’m playing the devil’s advocate here because modders have been using other people’s assets with or without consents for almost as long as video gsme existed. Sometimes they make things of beauty like skyblivion and sometimes they turn the ugly snake lady of the last resident evil into shrek and sometimes they add big tiddies to every single NPC.
I agree with the previous comment: the modding community never gave a flying fuck about the creative design of games. Hell, often even devs of the game themselves don’t give a flying fuck when you see the “outfits” of some Korean MMORPG.
Do I think what Nvidia does is smart? Absolutely not. I think it’s hot garbage and I think Nvidia CEO will end up in prison when the bubble pops. But I think it makes little sense to jump on moral high horse to argue against what they are doing.
To me, the decision on how you want to play a game and how you want it to look is for the player to make and nobody else. You offer me a game, I buy it. It’s mine. If I want to play vanilla, I’ll do it. If I want naked big tiddies shrek instead of Mario, it’s my right. I bought this right.
modders are not putting AI slop on GPU drivers just to boost the company shares
stop comparing corp actions to individual actions
So figured I wouldn’t give this attention seeker any more attention but I find it funny this poster shushed you about adults taking when it looks like they abandoned the discussion they were having with me about generative AI vs modding in a heavily downvoted thread, hence the whole agreeing with the previous poster thing.
Guess this guy didn’t want a adult discussion.
Their comment got deleted
and most of them aren’t charging you for it.

It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals.
We’re talking about the crowd who shits on console players because they (usually) cannot install mods for their games. Gamers have been destroying the creative intent of the visuals in games for years with shader mods, changes to models and animations, and adding totally new, completely out of place things.
The DLSS5 examples look like shit, but let’s stop pretending we give a shit about the devs “creative intent” when talking about it.
Maybe gamers aren’t a monolith and the ones adding waifus to Skyrim aren’t the same as the ones criticising DLSS5?
Hmm. Nah that couldn’t be it.
Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.
Many of those devs got their starts in the modding scene and understand remix culture. What Nvidia is doing is not that. What Nvidia is doing is tantamount to including Autotune in every music player.
I don’t think the second part of your first statement is correct. There are plenty of games that have modding support and that’s great, but there’s also plenty of types of mods that exist despite a lack of support.
Reshade works with most games, even some with anticheats, for example. To piggyback off your analogy, that’s like using an equalizer to accentuate the bass because that’s what you like the most in music.
Regardless, throwing an Ai filter on top of your game seems like something a modder would come up with (and has), but not in any serious capacity.
Most people will install mods after playing the game as intended to get more life out of it and if a game is modable, it’s often because the devs included support for that.
An equalizer is a preferred option because everyone doesn’t have the same audio setup. Different speakers and different room setups will effect the audio. An equalizer is equivalent to the calibration settings in your display setting.
Weird, pedantic emphasis alert.
People have different tastes, and an equalizer is supplemental to both their tastes and individual audio setups. So would visually modifying a game to meet your own taste. Some people just like extra vibrance.
It’s because I never tried to represent an absolute, but you still decided to reduce my argument into one. Most people don’t mod a game before trying it vanilla. The few excepts are games with notorious bugs or legacy titles that only work on modern systems with modifications.
Modding a game is an artistic activity that’s a key part of remix culture and doesn’t interfere with the original artist intent of the game because it’s something that happens after release. DLSS5 is a layer on top of the release game that’s there from the start.
An equalizer is something the end user does themselves to customize their experience of the music, but it doesn’t override the original music or the “canon”. Any music maker will understand the need for equalizers because of unique room setups. They would not appreciate if their music was fed through a autotuner though, especially if it’s something the hardware manufacturer is forcing on the end user without their knowledge.
So let’s have that philosophical discussion again like when we had with elden ring mods and artistic/designer intent.
So the biggest philosophical difference to me is that mods are done with a human artistic intent behind it and in the end it’s up to the individual gamer to seek out and decide if that’s something they want to include in their game. It’s the fact that some person, one individual decided that yup, I’m going to add big ol’ tit’s to Grace and throw her into thong and pasties while revisiting her mother’s death. At least that gal understood what the intent of the scene/game was but made that conscious decision of “nah, let me change it to what I personally would like to see because I’m just a thirsty bastard.”. And even with these types of mods, yes there is a level of respect and gratitude of the original developers inherit in modding.
It’s something unique based on this one person’s interpretation of the game that they’re sharing with other gamers. On the other end of the spectrum, we as individual games can play the game and then make the decision of if we want to incorporate that transformative artists decision or not and we can decide to completely respect the designers original intent or reject/alter it.
DLSS 5 there is no artistic intent behind it just corporation’s algorithm that’s not agreeing, understanding the tone behind things, saying and whole sale adjusting everything according to a model that normalizes everything to some average model. Plus while you can say that developers can have a say with tools to maximize or minimize the effects, which another article I posted seems to point out that those tools of control may be over blown, there’s been no inkling that the gamer themselves can decide if they want to use it or not. And let’s not be coy with some bullshit about “Well you can turn DLSS off”, no you really can’t because this shit has been used as a crutch for game development to get to a respectable frame rate for reasons so now both developers and gamers are forced to bring in a corporations non-artistic vision into their games.
To me that human artistic factor is one part of the key and the decision to say fuck it I want the game to look like a bad only fans filter and the ultimate choice of the human gamer themselves to decide to use it or not is the other part of it and why to me DLSS 5 is bullshit slop.
Replacing every NPC with a big boobies naked women is an artistic intent.
Human artistic intent and human choice to have every NPC with big boobies naked women and giant, and I mean giant, dongs naked men.
That’s the key.
So if I want to implement an AI tool that would automatically makes every game look like shit, this is also my human artistic intent.
If you want to us AI as the tool to help you make dream a reality, there are plenty there for modeling and helping to make textures, that’s fine.
If you want generative AI to make you just make you model based on someone else’s art work, then to me as part of my values and morality, No. At that point you’ve lost any point of artistic intent when you’re letting AI, using other people’s design, other people’s artistic intent and style to make something for you. It’s not your art, your artistic intent you’re sharing at that point.
Also, even if you did do that, I as a gamer would still have the option to never use your AI slop of a mod, which is the other part of my argument on why mods are different from DLSS 5.
Why? This is exactly the same creative intent, I just used a tool you do not like to achieve a similar result. You using someone assets to replace Skyrim NPCs with Shrek or me using genAI to do the same is quite literally the same “artistic intent”.
Again, the key distinction to me is that a human had the idea and created it not fucking AI, not a mishmash other artists styles and ideas, it’s a unique individual’s idea and style that is ultimately produced.
If you use AI as the main creator then you’ve lost control of artistic vision because it’s not yours anymore. There’s a fine line between using a tool to help you get to something and stealing another person’s idea.
So let’s go with your Shrek analogy. At some point a human created Shrek as a unique idea and made it come to life. Now you want to use Shrek as in mod as a NPC, at that point my view is you’ve got no actual creative artistic intent there, you’re just using another humans idea but at some point at least it was a humans unique idea and if you had no idea how to make that into a 3d model to incorporate into your game then AI tools could help you make a Shrek model. I won’t call it AI slop completely but I’d definitely call it uninspired garbage and a complete theft of another persons idea without adding anything of substance but at least I could understand that you liked Shrek and wanted Shrek in your game, original game designer be damned I want Shrek all the time. And again, with mods, I’m free to never, ever install your mod.
To me human intent and choice is the biggest difference even with your analogy you would at least you would understand what the artists intent for the game was and made the conscious decision that Shrek would be better suited in the game and not generative AI going in and simply replacing everyone’s face with Shrek because a model stated Shrek’s face was what the model’s if/else statements averaged out between a whole set of pictures faces.
This seems completely irrelevant to my point. The problem isn’t that it’s against the developer’s artistic intentions, it’s that it looks like shit.
Who cares what the artist intended?
Irrelevant to your point? Damn, so you don’t even understand your own argument then.
Your first line is literally this:
It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals
and then you’re the one who starts equating mods and how they’ve been altering “creative intent” and implying DLSS 5’s generative AI is no different.
The whole argument about this tech is ALL about creative intent when DLSS is not understanding the game and forcing an algorithmic take on the creative intent not just about how bad it looks.
Fuck man, get your shit in order with a coherent stance and argument.
Oh so you’re just a troll.
No I’m a human that can at least understand my own argument.
Removed by mod
Dude, you’re the one that brought up that gamers don’t care about the developers artistic intent and then brought in modding as the example of that and implying DLSS is no different just that it looks bad.
I present the counter argument that modding is respecting artistic intent and creates mode that modifies things because they actually respect the game, respect what the developers wanted but wanted to substitute and add their own artistic style and desires via mods.
Honestly at this point I have no fucking clue what your augment it because it’s all over the damn place when the article is referencing that developers are concerned that DLSS is overriding their artistry without understanding their intent and now your talking about GPU shortages which has no fucking bearing on anything being discussed.
And do you even understand what a personal attack is? Pointing out that you made a literal argument about artistic intention and then gaslighting to say you didn’t argue about artistic intention isn’t a personal attack. You calling me an idiot is and is a big ol’ ad-hominem attack, and the refuge of a person not actually serious about having a conversation.
But you are right, I am an idiot. I’m an idiot for thinking you actually had anything coherent or worthwhile to say.
Bro opening up your sandwich to put mayo on is a vastly different experience than you opening up my sandwich to put whatever condiment you choose on my sandwich.
This type of tools should be added on a per-game basis.
Imagine AI hallucinating additional enemies on your screen when you are playing something like League of Legends.
As for games like skyrim - they might as well turn into wish-fulfilling AI-powered “go on adventure in fantasy land” machines and nobody would notice the difference.
Okay, this is still possible. Just don’t turn it on.
I fear the damn thing will be on by default, like most AI tools, with convoluted process of turning it off.
If it’s as hard to run as it seems (current model took a dedicated 5090 to run it), then that would be foolish.
I was going to argue that’s not the case, but then I looked at the most popular mods for Darkest Dungeon and it’s more than 50% anime girls with big tits. There are definitely some good mods in general that maintain creative intent, both aesthetic and game design wise, but it sometimes feels like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Based take and true. But there’s different «rules» for low stakes modding and an organisation like nvdidia pushing for default slopification of games
Completely agree, it feels like taking crazy pills seeing the oddly misdirected anger.
Even then, I don’t understand the anger when nvidia isn’t forcing any game devs to use the tech, so isn’t it necessarily part of the creative intent if they decide to implement it as an option? At the very least they’re the ones that provide it or not.
It makes me feel like it’s an intentional campaign to stoke anger at something seriously inconsequential, but that seems crazy too.
Preach.
It is the same argument they used to gatekeep souls games whenever someone suggested to add an easy mode for those who want to play the game but lack the skill to do so.
The intent of the developer is a lot less important than the experience of the player.
It is like a chef deciding how you are allowed to eat your steak.
No, it’s like ordering a steak at a restaurant and then somebody from the kitchen supply company coming it once it hits your table and sprinkling a bunch of cinnamon you didn’t ask for all over it.
More like if the option to have cinnamon is on the menu and everyone is pissed it exists for some reason.
Because the cost of having that option has somehow both made the steak more expensive and the equipment to cook it more scarce.
Oh I didn’t realize you were forced to buy a 5090 in order to not use dlss, til.
Also DLSS runs locally off the gpu lmao so its not really contributing to the ram inflation issue overall.
Nothing exists in a vacuum; those impacts are real even if indirect.
Its a tiny fraction of the problem, the issue is with datacenter buildout taking all the available supply, if it was dlss directly related we would have seen ram prices increasing much earlier then we did.
Well, think of it this way:
China now knows how to shoot down F35s, if you’ve been following other news.
Yeah, sorry Taiwan, between that and the US wasting all of its missiles and interceptors on Iran… and dismantling the SK THAAD system for parts, after two of them got destroyed in the GCC…
Huang is gonna be taking orders, moreso than giving them, in the near future.
c/lostlemmings
Sorry, what?!
What if… We’re all being manipulated by Nvidia? What if they are the ones that started this “global outrage” in the first place? What if that’s how a mega-corp markets it’s products these days? What if they know that the anti AI cultists aren’t actually the biggest group, just one of the loudest ones?
Look at the result. Look at how many people are talking about this. Look at how it’s front page news all of a sudden. Look at how many people are now aware it exists.
In the end all that will matter is that they did a thing and now the whole world knows about it. In the end DLSS5 will go ahead and games will look better than they ever have before. In the end all the memes, jokes, likes, upvotes and downvotes will be a footnote in the story of how AI came to games. In the end we will all keep wishing for better and better gfx cards and that… is the point.
Games will look better than they ever have before.
Nothing like my good looking slop that actually looks like shit. Not a single one of those preview screenshots or videos look better at all. The starfield ones are especially cursed.
You vastly overestimate how smart billionaires are. NVidia did not need to newly enter public attention. A lot of this is just pushing people towards AMD.
You vastly overestimate how smart billionaires are.
