I was an Nvidia DLSS 5 hater…until I used it myself
Samples of DLSS 5 applied to games like NBA 2K27 and Resident Evil Requiem have raised concerns the graphical tech is basically a demanding AI algorithm that can "yassify" the look of games and interfere with the intent of game artists. But after trying it myself, I'm not so sure it's that big a deal...or that I have the willpower to stop using it. Credit: Nvidia I don’t know about you, but I was pretty leery of Nvidia’s new DLSS 5 tech when we first started seeing samples of how it can change the appearance of games in real time.

Credit: Nvidia I don’t know about you, but I was pretty leery of Nvidia’s new DLSS 5 tech when we first started seeing samples of how it can change the appearance of games in real time.
