Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations

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.

So they have this nice 3D card, which they had a hand in inventing and “perfecting” to render the entire 3D scene in beautiful, stunning detail, and then another card with AI instructions that totally ignores all of that just happened, takes a screenshot and puts a filter on it in real time basically. What a massive waste of power and computation.

  So like the reality distortion dinner filter from Inside Out.

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…

    What isn’t? Everything is growing, decaying, or changing in some way, honestly.

    Can’t tell if serious.

  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?

    And yet, they chose to demo a broken technology with obvious bugs and flaws. The demos from tech companies are supposed to make people excited, not recoil in disgust.
    
    This isn’t some tiny company, either. It’s fucking nVidia, who supposedly has the money to create a good demo.

Further confirming this is not meant to ever be used by actual gamers, and instead exists only to advertise real time genAI modification to existing video media.

img2img slop filter for every frame in real time. Great job nvidia what a dumb waste of resources.

  The waste is the point.
  
  It needs to be more expensive, because that can be leveraged for higher valuations.

  Haven’t you heard? Everything must contain generative AI now.

    DLSS stands for “deep learning super scaling.” It was always gen-ai. Those extra details weren’t being revealed, they were being generated.

    But it was working fine and probably cheaper, this makes it worse. Where the fuck is QA?
