NVIDIA releases DLSS 5 for AI-assisted game rendering

NVIDIA has released DLSS 5, short for deep learning supersampling. The technology takes a game’s current resolution and upscales it with AI to make visuals more photorealistic.

A demonstration of Kingdom Come 2 showed the game rendered in an engine and then processed through DLSS 5. The technology is controversial among some users: one assessment found the result appealing, while another said it still looked like a video game rather than a movie.
