TechNvidia’s DLSS 5, explained

Nvidia is reintroducing its controversial DLSS 5 neural-rendering technology after gamers criticized an early character-face demo as “AI slop.” The technology modifies lighting, shadows, color, and detail in rendered game frames rather than adding new objects, but it can consume substantial GPU power and cut framerates. Developers can control its look and apply it selectively. DLSS 5 launches September 3rd.
