Game devs say Nvidia’s DLSS 5 reveal blindsided them
Major game developers from Ubisoft and Capcom were reportedly blindsided by Nvidia’s reveal of DLSS 5 at the GTC conference, finding out about the integration of their games into the demo at the same time as the public. The new technology, which uses generative AI to enhance or "filter" game visuals, has faced immediate backlash from gamers and critics who label it as "AI slop" that potentially devalues artistic intent. Furthermore, concerns are mounting over the hardware requirements, as the initial demonstrations required two high-end RTX 5090 GPUs to function, signaling a high resource cost for these AI-driven visual upgrades.
