Nvidia unveils DLSS 5 gaming graphics update: Faces change less
Nvidia has updated its DLSS 5 technology, which uses artificial intelligence to transform game graphics. The system, fully unveiled last month, now alters game visuals less. According to the company, the updated model renders lighting and materials more realistically. The game engine preserves the core image, while developers choose which parts will be changed.
DLSS 5 faced criticism from gamers after its initial demonstrations. The system changed the appearance of some surfaces and made characters’ faces look different from the originals. Footage from Resident Evil Requiem was among the most widely discussed examples. Teenage characters in Hogwarts Legacy appearing to be around 40 years old also drew complaints. In the new footage, the changes do not appear as drastic as before. DLSS 5 is being added to both Hogwarts Legacy and Where Winds Meet. The technology no longer adds unnecessary lines to characters’ faces and changes colors less. However, excessive glow still remains around some light sources. In NBA 2K27, the technology can be turned on and off with a simple button. The difference did not appear substantial in the demonstration, with the result looking more like a Photoshop filter. The artificial intelligence model added contrast and shadows that were not there before. Although the faces and clothing of spectators in the background appeared more detailed, some characters looked artificial.
Nvidia has also sought to reduce the technology’s impact on game performance. The DLSS 5 model has been reduced to 118 million parameters, while VRAM usage has fallen by 20%. The previous version could cut a game’s frame rate in half. With the updated version, performance is expected to decrease by approximately one-third, depending on the graphics card and image resolution. The company will also provide DLSS 5 to independent developers who use RTX Remix to update older games. Nvidia is preparing to showcase RTX Spark computers such as the Microsoft Surface Laptop Ultra this week. The demonstrations were conducted on these new laptops. Technologies that upscale low-resolution images and generate additional frames may still be needed to maintain normal frame rates in games.
