Early reactions to Nvidia’s DLSS 5 were swift and skeptical, with some observers likening the technology to an Instagram-style filter applied over gameplay footage. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang refuted the allegations, but subsequent clarifications have helped outline how the system actually works – and where it can fall short.

    Best comment about this was from a video posted yesterday:

    Nvidia keeps saying that this tech is still a work in progress, yet they made the decision to release a demo in its current state…

      As microslop was constantly saying last year, LLMs and their ilk are a product in search of an application.

      Every company is desperate to find anything these garbage machines can do well enough to validate the trillion or so dollars pumped into them.

      Late edit: Also, Salesforce is literally mostly about barely functional tech with shiny demos. Thats why there is a consulting and customization industry worrth at least 10s if not 100s of billions that supports just their software.

        That’s clearly the insane part, like okay it can be a bit helpful in this or that scenario, but they spent like every person on earth would want to pay 250 euros a month for it…

      Yes because it makes people talk about that instead of their love affair with Palantir and their passionate support for Israel.

      Whoever decided to showcase DLSS5 in it‘s current form is probably getting a raise and a nice bonus for this diversion.

      Demos are very often an example of in progress works or technology. That literally happens all the time.

        Doesnt really matter IMO. If you have known bugs and flaws you dont showcase those, or if they are present in the showcase you atleast adress them and show what is to be expected upon release. NVIDIA just flat out didnt care. As soon as motion increases the artefacting is crazy. How do you even decide that this is remotely good enough for a demo?

          Nvidia hears people like motion blur and AI slop so they put some AI slop in their motion blur.

            Ugh. “Everyone is doing BLOOM, lets also do BLOOM but at +150% more!”

            I remember that, motion blur came after and now I guess ai 😓

            “Hallucinations” are an inherent part of the programming.

            It is literally impossible to prevent them. The systems work on building the fuzzy average response to a query via complex statistics. There is no thinking or creativity.

          Okay but that is not what the person said or what the poster above quoted as being the best part. I’m not commenting on the overall performance I’m just saying that demos very often are exactly what that sentence implies they shouldn’t be.

    I’m not sure why this is such a big deal. It’s only going to affect the 7 or 8 people in the world that can afford the 2 top of the line graphics cards and the RAM required to run it.

    Instead of doing this bullshit, can we just have regular DLSS be actually good? I can’t stand turning it on for my handheld because it’s a blurry, smeary mess as is.

    Dayum they really fucked this up. I have been waiting for this tech for a decade now and all everyone can do is be angry. Now I get the binary opinions of idiots if I mention I will use it. Have fun hating haters I got old ass games to play with AI filters because FUN! Well we will see how it goes lol.

      For someone who is excited to go and have fun playing with this tech that’s apparently everything you’ve been waiting for, you seem weirdly eager to get angry over other people being angry?

        Everything I have been waiting for what? Disingenuous from the start but okay I’ll bite.

        You seem weirdly eager to get angry over other people being angry over other people being angry.

        Eh you can do better, have another go at it. Just make sure I can’t copy paste it back at you.
