artifexDLSS 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!
TheObviousSolutionBefore people start going braindead circlejerk, the way it’s working is by changing lighting only, it isn’t changing geometry, making about 90% of the memes people are replying with wrong. Basically works best with games that have high resolution raytracing modes (like Cyberpunk) and on PC rigs people can no longer really afford.
If the picture in the article is a true real representative of DLSS5, the hair texture is obviously different and has been changed. The DLSS5 picture even has a slightly different hairstyle.
I think you think you are making an argument, but the hair is the best example. The strands haven’t been changed a bit, all the unique curls, all there. Generative AI would have changed that big time.
