Kotaku • • general
Key Points:
- Nvidia recently announced DLSS 5, an AI-powered visual upscaling technology claimed to enhance game scenes with photorealistic lighting and materials using color and motion vectors for each frame.
- Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang stated DLSS 5 is not a simple post-processing filter but involves generative control at the geometry level, emphasizing developer control and differentiating it from typical generative AI.
- Contradicting Huang, Nvidia marketing specialist Jacob Freeman confirmed DLSS 5 operates by analyzing a single 2D frame plus motion vectors, suggesting it functions more like a generative AI filter using just image data.
- This discrepancy has fueled backlash online, with critics accusing Huang of misleading consumers about DLSS 5’s true capabilities
