All of this upscaling when it was presented over a decade ago was to give older cards a longer lease in life and now it’s morphed into the mandatory way to get a stable framerate since developers can now just rely on DLSS and to a lesser extent FSR to get them to a acceptable framerate instead of optimization.
Comment on Nvidia's DLSS 5 Is a Slap in the Face to the Art of Video Game Design

Personally, I don’t know much about this technology. That said, I’ve heard that the original purpose of DLSS was to improve gaming performance, give you more FPS, and so on.
In that sense, many—myself included—are wondering: How is this slop generator going to improve game performance? How is giving Grace from RE9 a totally different face with make up on going to improve my gaming experience?

Saves payroll on artists which means more profits. #winning

The artists are still necessary for the slop generator to have aomething ro slop all over.

I think the idea is that you could use low resolution / detail models that take up less RAM and are faster to process and DLSS hallucinates a high res image.

It makes “I fixed this ugly FEMALE character” chuds happy and that’s what matters to them.
