"I think [DLSS 5] is the perfect example of the disconnect between what we as developers and gamers want and what the nasty freaks who are destroying the world and consolidating all wealth into the hands of the few using GPUs think we want. Presenting this technology under the DLSS name, thereby implying it will be the default and standard, is insulting and scary."
"One of the other big problems is how DLSS 5 basically sucks the personality out of any artistic choice the devs have made by making average-out guesses of what it thinks things should look like. Like, you're never going to get the devs' actual intent with this thing turned on."
"It feels like a misguided attempt at realism, a style that I personally feel is a dead end. In attempting to make things look more realistic, the technology fundamentally alters the artistic vision developers intentionally created for their games."
Nvidia introduced DLSS 5, an AI-enhanced upscaling technology for PC games, but received significant backlash from both the gaming community and game developers. The technology generates unrealistic facial alterations and makes radical visual changes that undermine developers' artistic intentions. Multiple developers expressed concerns that DLSS 5 homogenizes visual styles by making average guesses about appearance rather than respecting original creative choices. Developers worry that presenting this technology as a standard under the DLSS name implies mandatory adoption, potentially compromising game aesthetics and artistic integrity across the industry.
