DLSS 5 is on track for a Fall 2026 debut and replaces a game's original textures with AI-inflused versions to make them hyperreal. Or, out of one uncanny valley and into another!

No way this is real! Right?

Sadly, it’s real. Direct from Nvidia: https://nvidianews.nvidia.com/news/nvidia-dlss-5-delivers-ai-powered-breakthrough-in-visual-fidelity-for-games

People in this thread seem to think this is "AI slop" when they could stop for a second and read the title - this isn't even changing geometry, that's the thing. You can take this and run a photorealistic Cyberpunk 2077 without having to be stuck in some weird daylight fog environment, but it only really benefits games made for raytracing and the people willing to throw their money away for shiny thing. Then again, DLSS did this so it might even be worthwhile if people are willing to tone down their resolutions and have no moral qualms about continuing to support one of the worst offenders in the AI bubble..
