    It’s astonishing to me that PC gamers are suddenly so focused on the “creative intent” of game visuals.

    We’re talking about the crowd who shits on console players because they (usually) cannot install mods for their games. Gamers have been destroying the creative intent of the visuals in games for years with shader mods, changes to models and animations, and adding totally new, completely out of place things.

    The DLSS5 examples look like shit, but let’s stop pretending we give a shit about the devs “creative intent” when talking about it.

      This type of tools should be added on a per-game basis.

      Imagine AI hallucinating additional enemies on your screen when you are playing something like League of Legends.

      As for games like skyrim - they might as well turn into wish-fulfilling AI-powered “go on adventure in fantasy land” machines and nobody would notice the difference.

          I fear the damn thing will be on by default, like most AI tools, with convoluted process of turning it off.

            If it’s as hard to run as it seems (current model took a dedicated 5090 to run it), then that would be foolish.

              In terms of foolish - many features of Windows 11 are currently just a border-less chromium browser running online version of them, eating RAM like crazy.

              So “foolish management decisions” seems to be a theme of recent years.

      Preach.

      It is the same argument they used to gatekeep souls games whenever someone suggested to add an easy mode for those who want to play the game but lack the skill to do so.

      The intent of the developer is a lot less important than the experience of the player.

      It is like a chef deciding how you are allowed to eat your steak.

        No, it’s like ordering a steak at a restaurant and then somebody from the kitchen supply company coming it once it hits your table and sprinkling a bunch of cinnamon you didn’t ask for all over it.

          More like if the option to have cinnamon is on the menu and everyone is pissed it exists for some reason.

            Because the cost of having that option has somehow both made the steak more expensive and the equipment to cook it more scarce.

              Oh I didn’t realize you were forced to buy a 5090 in order to not use dlss, til.

              Also DLSS runs locally off the gpu lmao so its not really contributing to the ram inflation issue overall.

                  Its a tiny fraction of the problem, the issue is with datacenter buildout taking all the available supply, if it was dlss directly related we would have seen ram prices increasing much earlier then we did.
