Godot has more sliders to make a light switch.

Is there anyone that actually wants this garbage?

It's also worth noting that game devs will be able to mask different objects in a game scene, changing the structural and tone intensities for each independently. Devs might, for instance, want to give some background objects the full DLSS 5 makeover but keep a lighter touch with the characters.

This is about the only vaguely useful part of it. Just disable it for character faces. That said, why even use this garbage in the first place I don't know.

Maybe there is eventually a way of making these filters look good by adding (many) additional parameters, but they're still ignoring the much more important question: how are they going to get this to run on anything other than the compute server they're currently using.

I seriously doubt the river actually going to release this. No one wants it, and it also only runs on high-end cards, which also don't need it.

If there isn't a Nic Cage mode, why even bother?

This is embarrassingly poor journalism. It's clear the author has a slider with Facts on the left, and Pandering on the right, and they've cranked it all the way to pandering.

They define "tone" as

lighting and, well, overall tone.

Clearly not familiar with the concept of high/low frequency details.

And I blame gamers, including the people in this thread. It reminds me of how conservatives label objective journalism as biased, so right wing news outlets just describe whatever reality the audience already lives in.

They're strength sliders. It's not like the entire frame is defined by DLSS. The artists make thousands of decisions when rendering the frame, and use DLSS' sliders to determine how much interference is happening on high/low detail features. In most titles, this tuning is going to be dynamically adjusted at runtime based on what lighting phenomena are in the scene, so it's not even like an artist is going to be hand tuning these. That's not what they're for.

The more I think about the comparison to right wing news the more apt it feels. The topic is very technical, and their audience is....well, a bunch of gamers. It's not like they're going to be able to convey useful info, but they still need to say something, because their audience has heard the term "DLSS 5" and expects something. So all they do is regurgitate useless pandering.

Thank you for buying our new 3000 dollar GPU; You've unlocked the ability to instagram filter your game.

Fuck NVIDIA.

This shit is corporate oligarchy perfectly replicating the failures of any monarchy or dictatorship. There are like eight guys who think AI should be in everything and even though nobody actually wants this shit it keeps happening anyway.

Unless they give devs full control to train the model specifically for their vision of the game I don’t see how this can truly compliment their work

Maybe give those controls to consumers instead?

I just need one button, the on/off switch.

Shit website.
