Nvidia simply introduced DLSS 5, the upcoming model of its AI software program suite for graphics playing cards, at GTC 2026. Nevertheless, there was vital backlash because of the modifications it supposedly made to the sport’s aesthetics. Nevertheless, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang disagrees.
At a press Q&A occasion on the GPU Know-how Convention, Jensen Huang was requested by Tom’s {Hardware}’s Paul Alcorn concerning the backlash in opposition to the expertise and mentioned, “To begin with, they’re utterly incorrect,” reiterating that management over implementation rests with recreation builders.
“DLSS 5 blends geometry and texture management and all issues gaming with generative AI,” mentioned Huang. “This isn’t post-processing, it is not post-processing on the body stage. It is manufacturing management on the geometry stage.”
Whereas that could be true, a lot of the backlash appears to lie with the aesthetic modifications proven within the trailer reasonably than how the expertise works. In that case, it is onerous to say what individuals are seeing is incorrect, however in response to Nvidia’s CEO, it’s.
It stays to be seen what this expertise will really appear to be when it launches this fall, however I think Nvidia can be on the lookout for methods to make this expertise look extra interesting because the 12 months progresses. We have reached out to Nvidia for touch upon this story and can replace this story if we hear again.
Till then, we’ll have to attend and see how DLSS 5 shapes up over the subsequent few months.
