I mean he's gotta say people are wrong for not liking it, it's his job to sell it
"completely wrong" and proceeds to say it's just a "fusion".
It IS an AI slop filter, and you can take it and shove it up your ass alongside all of your stupid jackets.
Looking forward to the day I boot up a new game and all the characters look like this because I don't have DLSS 9 enabled
Gamers do not want x.
Gamers are wrong about this.
That is definitely how it works. Keep pushing that line.
I'm increasingly happy my hardware is a generation behind and incompatible with this shit.
"Well, first of all, they're completely wrong,"
Proceeds to explain exactly what everyone hates about it.
"The consumers don't know what they want. I, the CEO, know what the consumers want. And the consumers want to give me money!"
By the amount and intensity that this man tries to sell his garbage through sheer bluff and bs you’d think he’s running to be President someday.
Strong principal Skinners energy. "Does nobody want my AI slop filter? No, it's the gamers who are wrong."
I'm tired boss
Surely this is just a marketing stunt they pulled in the hopes of temporarily pumping share prices or something? Despite their claims that it can be optimized before release, I think there is basically no way they get it running at playable frame rates without a second dedicated graphics card on current gen hardware. They're going to release it with terrible performance, promise to improve it, a few people who have dual 5090 setups will try it but almost everyone will ignore it, and the promised optimizations will either never materialize or they'll be much less impactful than promised.
“The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI,” Huang continued.
He seems to be thinking of it as basically a post-processing effect, but it's certainly the least performant one ever devised. Even if it's true that the art teams can tweak it to get exactly the effect they want, I find it hard to believe they'd ever be able to get it running on the hardware they're targeting, so it will just be an expensive novelty for games that want to promise the most bells and whistles.
Edit: Wait I just saw this,
"It’s not post-processing, it’s not post-processing at the frame level, it’s generative control at the geometry level," he said.
What is he on about? Surely it's not really mucking around with stuff earlier in the rendering pipeline? That would make it completely different from all previous versions of DLSS, why would they call it DLSS 5? I don't think he understands how it works at all.
Remember, he's never talking to us, he's talking to major stockholders.
Calling it now: Jensen Huang's mind has been emptied and replaced with AI chips. That's why he just spouts AI generated nonsense.
But guys, did you hear that it's generative?
I've heard a number of creators try talking about how this is a good thing actually and it is just misunderstood... And I've got to say: after it's come out that nvidia has threatened creators in the past... I really think it starts getting obvious who's still kissing the ring. This is some emperors new clothes shit.
If nvidia can't just make a better card anymore cool. No worries. Want to get into bed with the industrial military complex? Great. Message recieved. Want to overwrite an artists design with filters? Stay the fuck in your lane. You design chips that draw what they are told. If you can't do that right anymore then get out of our industry and make room for someone who can.
"My shoes are fine, it's everyone else that smells like dog shit."
This makes me even more sure of my decision to get an AMD card as my next GPU (currently I have an RTX 4080 so it's still a long time until that happens but still).
Never bought anything from NVIDIA after the 1080ti and I feel real good about that.
