Nvidia simply introduced DLSS 5, an upcoming iteration of its AI software program suite for graphics playing cards at GTC 2026. Nevertheless, there was important backlash, due to the modifications it appears to make to a sport’s aesthetic. However Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang disagrees.
At a press Q&A occasion on the GPU Expertise Convention, Jensen Huang took a query from Tom’s Hardware’s Paul Alcorn concerning the backlash to the know-how, saying that “Effectively, first of all, they’re utterly mistaken,” whereas reiterating that management over the implementation stays with the sport builders.
“DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the of geometry and textures and every thing concerning the sport with generative AI,” Huang stated. “It’s not post-processing, it’s not post-processing on the body degree, it’s generative management on the geometry degree.”
And whereas that is perhaps the case, a lot of the backlash appears to be over the aesthetic modifications proven off within the trailer, moderately than how the know-how works. In that case, it is exhausting to recommend that what individuals see with their eyes is mistaken, however in accordance to Nvidia’s CEO, nicely, it’s.
We nonetheless do not know what this know-how will really seem like when it launches someday this fall, however I believe Nvidia shall be in search of methods to present it off in a extra flattering mild because the 12 months marches on. I’ve reached out to Nvidia for touch upon this, and I am going to replace this story if and after I hear again.
Till then, we’ll simply have to wait and see how DLSS 5 shapes up over the following few months.
