DLSS 5 will let developers tune lighting, color, and masking, says NVIDIA

So blame the devs if you don't like the image :p

[inland topaz]

oh we will

[unkempt seal]

It's good to see the majority of people are rejecting this but equally worrying the amount of people that are gargling on nvidia's balls. Probs the same people that download the "realistic" reshade presets

[inland topaz]

for putting this in thier games

[heady arch]

the future is AI

next-gen xbox and ps6 will support neural rendering

[inland topaz]

go outside

[polar summit]

This is so much more complex lol

[heady arch]

FSR 5 is also coming

[polar summit]

70% of your studio is gonna get booted cuz u can use this slop

[inland topaz]

source?

[unkempt seal]

dude lol. no one is arguing againt AI existing but the application and this one isn;t it

it's as simple as that

[inland topaz]

if you want the future to be ai, i hope you dont enjoy walking the earth without an oxygen tank on your back

[unkempt seal]

even if you're an accelerationist doesn't mean you need to blindly accept anything that has an AI logo stamp on it

[inland topaz]

bro NFTs are the future

[rich smelt]

neural rendering is fine

Yassification filter is abysmal

[heady arch]

I don't like AI in general but we can't achieve photorealistic visuals without it

[rich smelt]

neural rendering you target specific parts of the rnedering pipeline

[inland topaz]

this is worse than current path tracing

this looks worse

[rich smelt]

each with their own properties

[unkempt seal]

WAY worse lol

[unkempt seal]

exactly this, this is the way

[inland topaz]

yeah sadly nvidia gave us WAYYYY too little information to know if this is just stupid shitty implintations or not

[rich smelt]

neural rendering accelerates physics for instance since its way cheaper to have clanker 'hallucinate' then it is to actually crunch the numbers with CPU/GPU

but Jensen cant market that

so he goes yassification filter

[unkempt seal]

why would they do a full live showcase if it's just "shitty" implementations

[unique snow]

all the charcter shots look like someone stands in front of them with a ring light

[dense sapphire]

Idk, this part of the FAQ makes me think it's completely separate

Does DLSS 5 work with DLSS Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, and Multi Frame Generation?

Yes.

[unkempt seal]

announcing a full version step up of dlss

[unkempt seal]

exactly this

[thorny grotto]

fair point

"tunnel vision"?

[unkempt seal]

it obliterates indirect lighting etc, it just adds fake garbage 3 point studio lighting to everything

[unkempt seal]

could be

[dense sapphire]

What exactly would be a good implementation of this? I don't even understand what it's doing

Just seems unnecessary

[inland topaz]

instead of calulating it, its having an ai generate it in real time

you can guess how it looks

thats on oversimplification but still

[inland topaz]

this is such a good point

[rich smelt]

^

[inland topaz]

use this shit for physics engines

not the art

LOL

[rich smelt]

or materials

[inland topaz]

yeah materials could be big too

[rich smelt]

since its cheaper for AI sloppa

to calculate complex materials

via spectral rendering

or spectral rather than RGB

[sweet estuary]

Maybe it’s me coping but is there a chance DF got it wrong?

[rich smelt]

RR, DLSS and FG could already be considering neural rendering

they use clanker to dynamically fix issues

RR is the clanker dynamically in real time doing denoising

[inland topaz]

dude im really interesting in the two other memebers of DF who said they didnt know about that video

i wanna hear their reactions so bad

[sweet estuary]

For the AI bull investors

[rich smelt]

DF civil war

[heady arch]

NVIDIA says developers can adjust intensity and color grading, including blending, contrast, saturation, and gamma. Developers can also define where the enhancements appear and use masks to exclude specific objects or areas from the effect entirely.

[unkempt seal]

[inland topaz]

k why didnt they then

[rich smelt]

they did

RE9 devs

tweaked

[heady arch]

If this is the intention, NVIDIA is trying to present DLSS 5 as a guided rendering tool rather than a one-size-fits-all filter. The company says the technology can deliver these changes in real time at up to 4K while preserving each game’s visual identity.

[rich smelt]

[inland topaz]

true maybe the re9 devs were just all sick that day

[unique snow]

while preserving each game’s visual identity.

cap

[polar summit]

You’re joking

What the hell

[unkempt seal]

RTX MOUNTAIN FOG = OFF

[rich smelt]

RE9 devs were present at the showcase

and told DF they tweaked

so they intended it to look like that

[polar summit]

Chat it’s so over

[rich smelt]

now Jensen might have had a gun to their head

I dunnp

[heady arch]

All companies tweaked their games to look how they want with DLSS 5, otherwise NVIDIA would be in a lot trouble with class-action etc

[rich smelt]

but if devs are cooking like this then its giga ogre

ngmi

[polar summit]

I mean grace looks so different in the 2 shots they showed

Lol

Like just with it on

[unique snow]

I mean japan loves AI, so would not suprise me, but we have no idea if "devs" wants that or the exec branch at capcom for their shareholders

[mental glen]

can already tell how generic all games will be looking with that shit enabled

[inland topaz]

this is the second coming of "UE5 slop all looks the same"

[heady arch]

Grace has 3 different faces currently. One with non-RT, one with RT and one with PT, all three completely different and of course only the PT one looks good

[unkempt seal]

it literally looks like a 12 yr old reshade preset

[inland topaz]

except its real this time

[sweet estuary]

My cope is that they slapped it on for the showcase

[sweet estuary]

I’d take ue5 slop over this bro

[polar summit]

Ye dlss5 is gonna add about 20 more

Good stuff

[unique snow]

4 now!

[polar summit]

Every scene you get a different grace

[rich smelt]

ACES for tonemapping
Lambert sloppa for BRDF
RTX HDR for HDR output
Dogshit default UE lumen for RT/PT
Focus M for writing
DLSS 5 yassification filter as post process over everything as cherry on top

[inland topaz]

no its infinite

[wraith kite]

John just started getting harassed and said that he didn't know anything about this

[inland topaz]

because its gona make a new face

every time

[wraith kite]

alex said he will post his inital reaction later

[inland topaz]

because it doesnt know what its supposed to do

[unique snow]

[inland topaz]

saw that. very sad

[unkempt seal]

They couldn't use this shit to somehow improve RR? Like real tangible improvements, not this garbage. This is the type of shit the investors and suits that never touched a single video game and consume boomer genai video slop look at and think it looks incredible

[unique snow]

just how the artists intended

[inland topaz]

theres shots in the DF video where people fucking warp in real time into different people bro

[polar summit]

[rich smelt]

RR v2 was delayed for this

[polar summit]

V3!!!

[velvet ferry]

That’s the real tragedy

[sweet estuary]

It’s so over man

[polar summit]

I mean

[unkempt seal]

you look at the before and after and the choice is obvious. Amazing sloppa realism

[polar summit]

Who knows

Maybe they’ll have new models for everything

https://tenor.com/view/copium-meme-pepe-frog-gif-26117735

[unkempt seal]

delayed? I think you meant shelved

[mental glen]

Transformer 3 Neural edition

[unkempt seal]

yes LOL

[heady arch]

Even the PT one looks ''gamey''. The DLSS 5 picture looks photorealistic

[rich smelt]

have to use DLSS 5

built in

[unique snow]

because it is a fantasy

of a fantasy

trained on billions of IG posts (and porn)

[inland topaz]

im gonna put a hex on you

if you ever say that again

only good part 🐸

you say that like companies are gonna care

also THE LATENCY

[unique snow]

I can't wait for AMD to copy it, and make it even worse

[inland topaz]

amd still tries to push an ai package when you install drivers

[wraith kite]

yea that was kinda a bummer

I'd like to see them reduce noise and shimmer

[signal sky]

I do believe this was just too early to show this off and needs a lot more work. But the tech itself could be potentially cool in the future. It just needs to stop inventing stuff lol

[inland topaz]

he would learn really fast to just stand in the room where you were doing a puzzle and then you lose the game LOL

[rich smelt]

well maybe I would like to see neural story writing because bruh

99% of games have abysmal writing

grok can do a better job

[inland topaz]

i guess i do that now

[rich smelt]

they already pulled this last year with RTX faces

nothing changed

I am going to cope and hope

[inland topaz]

this tech IS inventing stuff

[rich smelt]

that the controls are GoodTM

[inland topaz]

it cant not do that

that is all it is

thats like saying gas cars need to stop needing gas to run

thats what they're desgined to do

[heavy spire]

releasing fall 2026. Perfect time for sweaters and more memes

[quasi lodge]

It is the first reveal, basically every graphical improvement in the last decade is directly linked to AI. It will be improved or toned down might release in a messy state but will be interated on and improved until it's a net improvement (and it will be a huge one, one day)

[inland topaz]

i hope you contine to drink the koolaid

you're probably happier than me

[quasi lodge]

I am indifferent just not angry at it

[wet kiln]

I mean Leon kinda looks better..?

[inland topaz]

also you replied to me stating how the technolgy works

it is litteraly doings its best to guess how its supposed to look based on data its been fed when it was trained. Its job is to make shit up

as best as it can

[quasi lodge]

yeah forget the reply i just wanted to say the point, all the graphical tech (let's be real, large graphical jumps have plateaued) has come on the back of DLSS

[inland topaz]

that is literally just not true

[inland topaz]

leon has a full face of makeup and is glowing like obiwans force ghost

[quasi lodge]

how so which one is not based on dlss ability to increase performance to heavy taxing tech

or just generally TAA which is a lesser version of the same thing

at least as it exists today

[inland topaz]

you cant say dlss gives you headroom then apply that to any effect that is taxing

the electric company actually has pushed graphics foward the most

because we couldnt power gpus without them

[quasi lodge]

I mean now you're being disingenuous you know what im saying

ray reconstruction a huge upgrade to path tracing directly influenced and directed through AI

[signal sky]

Yeah this leon one is the single one that doesnt make you puke lol

[wet kiln]

From what I've seen so far it seems to depend on scenes/games, like how Grace in this scene looks less yassified and more natural looking compared to the intro scene

[inland topaz]

yeah thats the funny part

grace will never look the same in a single frame ever

[signal sky]

This is the second best

[inland topaz]

not once

[quasi lodge]

I mean path tracing in of itself is not really feasible at playable framerates without framegen as well

[signal sky]

Pretty decent tho still uncanny

[inland topaz]

thank god grace had time to put on her lipstick on foundation after shit started to go down

[quasi lodge]

you know what's funny is I'm pretty sure nvidia is claiming the model wasn't even altered the changes are in lighting alone and increased detail of the textures they didn't like add modeling to the face as as I can find

[signal sky]

That´s the theory yeah

I could see that

[inland topaz]

well yeah they didnt change the texture

its overlayed on top of it

[signal sky]

Lighting changes shape perception

[quasi lodge]

exactly

[inland topaz]

brother if you think thats just lighting idk what to tell you

[quasi lodge]

they eyes themselves forget the mascara look are so much more detailed it's undeniable

[inland topaz]

she has lip fillers

[signal sky]

Im pretty sure its just the light tricking you into that, but I´d need to see the real thing to confirm. A screenshot doesnt tell much

[inland topaz]

yeah i got nothing to say to that

[quasi lodge]

it's also the third person model for grace in a heavy section so not the best fidelity grace that exists in the game expecially cutscenes

[wet kiln]

The intro scene does look as though she lives in LA and gets her face done every other week lmao, I thought it was a meme at first

[quasi lodge]

the original

[signal sky]

This video explains how this works https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1IcaBn3ej0&t=3s

[sweet estuary]

No he fucking doesn’t man, they made him younger, gave his skin too much albedo, the light doesn’t make a lick of sense and completely FUCKED the Colors

[sweet estuary]

Ok but it definitely does add shit to the models

[signal sky]

This is far from finished

[inland topaz]

THEN DONT SHOW IT TO US

[signal sky]

They made a huge miscalculation showing it this early

[inland topaz]

if its so bad that the best defence is its not finished

then dont fucking show it

[signal sky]

Yeah I agree

Im not defending Ai slop tho just in case

[quasi lodge]

It may not even be feasible on this generation and a more 6000 series things so long way to go

[signal sky]

Im just trying to understand how it works and be objetctive

[signal sky]

Its just gonna be like DLSS 1

It was trash

It will get better

[inland topaz]

guys its just lighting changes making you think they changed the textures!!!!!

[sweet estuary]

skin isn’t that shiny
eyes don’t reflect like that
why does she have lipstick and makeup one
the shadows on her face don’t make a lick of sense why did they add pronounced cheek bones

[quasi lodge]

that's the worst starfield one, I think most of the starfield ones looked better, granted starfield is some of the worst character models in modern gaming

[sweet estuary]

Here is what AI is doing, because it’s not “AI”, it doesn’t think

It looks at the face and makes it “attractive”

[wet kiln]

The hair looks whack, but nvidia say creators can control the intensity, etc so we'll have to see what the final implementation looks like. Some games definitely look overexposed and blacks are crushed to death with dlss 5

[inland topaz]

the correct intensity is 0

and to design it how you want it in the first place

[signal sky]

I totally understand this position and share it, but the reality is that we are not heading there

[inland topaz]

you control what you purchase and support

[signal sky]

Yeah I know

Im just saying, AAA is 100% gonna head in this direction imo

[quasi lodge]

but this feeds back into the reveal they did last week it's basically impossible to stack fidelity right now. It's why they have the tree geometry thing coming out. Maybe we just have peaked graphically and can't go forward

[inland topaz]

i mean we are still going foward every year

its slower than it used to be but thats every tech field

[quasi lodge]

i mean eventually the personal GPU will probably be not good enough for the fidelity the industry demands

[inland topaz]

the industry has to design games AROUND the personal gpu

they cant make games that cant run on gpus

nobody will buy them

[signal sky]

This runs on GPU wdym

[quasi lodge]

well the obvious and dystopic reality is future games will likely be cloud GPU run

it's the only way to infinitely scale GPU power as die size shrinks to impossibly small incremental upgrades

[signal sky]

Im fairly optimistic that this will look miles better when it releases

Otherwise its gonna be catastrophic xD

They definetly have to burn a lot of electricity and water training this model before release

[quasi lodge]

I mean the materials are definitely better imo the lighting looks super washed out, but maybe it is a more "correct" representation of the lighting but it just looks washed out to me

[signal sky]

It needs a lot of tunning and improvement yeah

But the idea could be good, we just have to wait and see the final implementation

Although even if it does look good Im not a huge fan of it

[velvet ferry]

The Sarah Morgan one totally looks better not cope

[sweet estuary]

And that’s fine, we don’t need photorealism, we need better IQ and style

[stark igloo]

hands on impression. he says its not a AI filter on top. https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1rvqask/a_handson_impression_of_what_dlss_5_means_by_ryan/

this is the guy that lead intel gpus to "great success" and now WORKS FOR A MARKETING COMPANY

HIS JOB IS MARKETING

sorry hes the president and gm of a marketing company

so its safe to just ignore the entire post

[inland topaz]

TRUE

unreal engine dev btw

actually blow up the earth

[mental glen]

probably true

[rich smelt]

wouldnt matter if the results were good

a game could be made with a matchstick and ductape

the issue is whether it is sloppa or not

[signal sky]

This is a huge shift in how games are made so its normal to have this reactions, specially cause they announced it like shit

I truly believe that the narrative will be completely different in a year or two

[rich smelt]

DLSS 5 will turn out to actually be great

[signal sky]

(Im not defending AI slop, just trying to be objective)

[signal sky]

It does have the potential imo

[sweet estuary]

neural rendering isn't the issue

acc wtf am i saying

yeah it is the issue

its probablistic

not deterministic

[signal sky]

This post says its deterministic

So not sure about that

[sweet estuary]

marketing guy

their entire job is to sell you shit man

no it does look like shit

[signal sky]

is he working for nvidia?

[sweet estuary]

no, but guess what

nvidia invited him

[inland topaz]

i can not fucking believe that got him

[sweet estuary]

to a closed behind the doors demo

[inland topaz]

you are a master

[sweet estuary]

if he wants to be invited in the future

[signal sky]

Im not saying it good or he´s saying the truth

[sweet estuary]

he will say good things

he isn't saying the truth

[signal sky]

Im just saying it has potential and we´ll see when it releases

[sweet estuary]

sure

[signal sky]

If its not deterministic on release then yeah its trash

If it is and it looks good tho (not like now)

Then we´re talking

But we can´t say much with the shit they gave us today other than meme about it

[sweet estuary]

miyazaki pls save this industry

No, it's true whether some of you like it or not 😄

The leather man defines the future once again

[unique snow]

maybe frame gen issue?

[polar summit]

doesn't even really matter

since you can't decouple it

but that looks extra bad even for frame gen

[unique snow]

yea

[sullen lodge]

do you have facial blindness?

[bronze oak]

Do you leave ssr and ambient oclusion on or off when using pathtracing?
Also what's up with surround headphones, is that for dolby atmos for headphones? Like is thst bettet or worse than nornal stereo headphones?

[velvet ferry]

It does look exactly like the Julia Pratt now.

Idek might be a bit jarring and the photorealism may push things towards the uncanny in the examples they showed. I thought oblivion was the worst for environments, but starfield was okay for faces and environment.

[sweet estuary]

You are an idiot if you think they look similar, Capcom heavily modified her face from the get go

And she looks like Jennifer holland

You are a bot

[mental glen]

[sullen lodge]

she looks like every single fucking ai generated woman. they all look the same

this is the first image that comes up when i search for that

[velvet ferry]

Lmao people so heated

[mental glen]

Deservedly so

[analog apex]

ngl i will do a dlss 5 run even if it's crap 💀

[velvet ferry]

Tech isn’t even out yet, when it is I bet most of yall will have it on when every game uses a native implementation of it, but even if you don’t use it. Remember that’s the best part. Nobody can force you to (probably)

[sullen lodge]

yeah i dont think this is something that should be brushed aside

[analog apex]

renodx + dlss 5

[sullen lodge]

when it starts affecting development is when i have a problem

keep in mind as well this is an hdr server, and the mods are all about preserving ground truth - i cant stand inverse-tone mapping, partially for that reason

the same thing applies here, and this will definitely have an impact on hdr

it seems they trained the footage on sdr content so it cant handle hdr values properly

[velvet ferry]

^ that’s pretty much my biggest concern along with how much granular control devs have.

Seems like they have been working on this for a while, leaks had some neural rendering stuff like this for 50 series launch. Looks like it’s still not that close to being ready

[unkempt seal]

one step closer to photorealism

[velvet ferry]

Idk how a fall timeline is reasonable if this is what they’re showing now, but it does make me excited. Don’t think they’ll forget about HDR after improvements in SR - M and L either

[analog apex]

will this even work on the 40 series

[sonic musk]

Allegedly not

[sullen lodge]

if its trained on an sdr dataset i genuinely dont see how thats possible without using some kinda ITM like rtx hdr

[unkempt seal]

nah. did you even see what everything else looked like?

[velvet ferry]

Don’t tell me that 🙁

Could be a different stack for hdr

[unkempt seal]

OFF vs ON.

Bounce lighting? Who needs that

[sullen lodge]

it wont even know what hdr is

[unkempt seal]

who needs bounce lighting, indirect lighting when you have photorealistic sloppa with 3 point light studio-like photography following you everywhere you go?!

[analog apex]

path tracing is already very demanding i wonder how heavy it's, will it need like a minimum of 5080 with 6x frame gen

[sullen lodge]

cant wait for it to be streamed to us with geforce now!!

[unkempt seal]

at least you won't notice the motion issues because it's low bitrate anyway!

[sullen lodge]

hooray!

[unkempt seal]

look at this shit

bounce OFF

so you're wasting gpu cycles and electricity to calculate path tracing

only for it to be absolutely destroyed

for genai waifus

[mental glen]

Yeah that’s the funny thing tbh

This AI only has access to motion vectors and color vectors and the 2D output image

Nothing else

Spending all that time to pathtrace only to override it with AI that’s unaware of the actual pathtracing

Galaxybrain

[analog apex]

it can predict the future

[velvet ferry]

Yeah it has no access to geometry detail? That’s pretty troll no

[unkempt seal]

then how is her jaw actually changing? This is literally changing the geometry, not just lighting / textures

[velvet ferry]

Dunno not claiming to be an expert on any of this, but Legit scroll on the video nvidia posted. Right at the start

https://x.com/nvidiageforceuk/status/2033625439315399137?s=46

It looks like this in the gif cause these are screenshots from a video where she is moving to the left no? When I scroll through the video her face looks different cause the lighting is completely different

Although I will say to me it looks like it completely changes her lips not her jaw. Like the jaw could be lighting but there’s no way u get those lips without some filler

[sonic musk]

As I've said in the other server, this is kinda a real time deepfake
It takes an image and turns it into a different image based on its dataset

It doesn't change the models or textures or whatever, it generates new ones on top

And the less data (detail) it has, the more it will halucinate

[unique snow]

I can't wait to see how bad it will be with HDR

since training will be on like 99% of SDR data

[sweet estuary]

Also funny thing, we alr have the tech to make models look like their real life counterparts and it doesn’t even need ray tracing. Look at death stranding 2. Capcom modified the in game model for a reason to differentiate grace. Real life models will always be super models with pronounced features whereas their in game counterparts will look different and closer to what an average person looks like

[velvet ferry]

^ that’s a good point. A lot of it’s pretty unclear. Nvidia is claiming devs have pretty fine tuned control over what will happen. Is that even possible? I’d have to guess this was rushed on incomplete tech for maximum showy effect.

I’d imagine integration during development is more bespoke

[quasi lodge]

I don't think this will affect HDR fidelity in any way lol especially with tools like reno. I could see people in here refusing to work on DLSS5 games though out of principle haha

I mean take this game for example, the path traced version of the game doesn't require a unique renodx even though it's a complete overhaul of the lighting engine compare to PT off

[sullen lodge]

yes but from all the information we have, dlss 5 is essentially just fancy img2img

and if those images/videos are trained on sdr content which is an extremely likely probability then itll be clamped as a byproduct

[quasi lodge]

PT in of itself with ray reconstruction already has heavy AI influenced output

[sullen lodge]

yeah but it still works in a completely different way

[quasi lodge]

I don't think we know that at all yet, and I don't think we will see a mature implementation of DLSS 5 for a long time

[sullen lodge]

i guess we'll see

as of now the footage looks like extremely shittily tonemapped images which doesnt inspire much confidence

[unkempt seal]

? that's completely different

[quasi lodge]

how is it different both fundamentall change how lighting works in the game

[unkempt seal]

as far as I understand using PT or RR doesn't make a difference on HDR? DLSS 5 just looks like it's tonemapping garbage or something I dont know. crushing shadows and overexposing everything else to oblivion

i might be wrong

[quasi lodge]

They don't make a difference is my point

[sullen lodge]

dlss and rr work in linear space

its possible this does too

but it clearly has its own tonemapping that its doing thats completely separate to the original games

[quasi lodge]

I mean for instance path tracing changes how shadows work entirely aka dark vs light areas of the image and reno still fixes how those are represented whether you have PT on or off

[sullen lodge]

renodx has nothing to do with that though

all its doing is removing (technically replacing in most cases) tonemapping and upgrading internal sdr formats to support hdr

the actual value of the lighting to begin with is calculated by the game engine to begin with regardless in linear space

[quasi lodge]

It probably will be toggles in menu

lighting, environment and character models each with their own toggles

[sullen lodge]

thats possible if they use some kind of object masking

although it seems like they havent implemented anything like that in the demo

and i wonder if it would make the uniformity of the image even weirder

[quasi lodge]

I don't think it's going away and ps6 will almost assuredly have frame generation to hit their 120 fps goal a similar tech will come to consoles too

it's just how it will be

[sullen lodge]

oh no doubt

[sweet estuary]

It’s literally taking the base image and then spitting out a “make it look realistic” filter, no shit it’s gonna affect HDR. It’s not rendering anything is generating

[quasi lodge]

Don't think it will we will see

[sweet estuary]

PT is still rendering, it still has the same textures and assets and LUTs, this is literally generating an image on top

Bryjoe you’re not a modder you’re just high on AI

So when people here have said this Will affect it then I’d reckon you should listen to them

[quasi lodge]

I'm not but neither are you and you aren't looking at this objectively, there are pros and cons to the tech

I've called out many things I didn't like on the reveal as things I did

[quasi lodge]

nvidia said it didn't alter texture at all and it's a pure lighting pass, you can choose to believe them or not

cutscene grace doesn't look altered texture wise at all to me the street one does but

[sweet estuary]

Yeah it didn’t “alter” textures it just hallucinated an image on top of them

[sweet estuary]

Here, it increases how reflective the rooftop is, this is edo era japan they are not making those rooftops from metal they are making them from stone they aren’t supposed to be this reflective and clean

[sweet estuary]

It throws out color grading as well btw

[wet kiln]

Dlss 5 keeps looking worse and worse the more I've seen from it, especially in motion (videos, not just screenshots). It just fills too many gaps that don't exist like making a highschooler looking as though they're in their 30s etc and sometimes look like straight up ai generated instagram ads

[sweet estuary]

And ofc it will affect Reno because Reno works on the assumption that the output will remain the same scene to scene

“AI” is probabilistic

[quasi lodge]

i dunno brother, although I did dislike the ac shadows alterations personally

[sweet estuary]

Yknow that those went through renovations right

[quasi lodge]

To me the broad lighting examples on environment in ac shadws and oblivion seems to sap a lot of "depth" and contrast from the image, but as to their lighting accuracy maybe they are

[sweet estuary]

It changes the light sources

It’s around sunrise/sunset in the og image

Dlss 5 makes it so that the sun is overhead

[sullen lodge]

its not "just the lighting"

if all it has is final (or close to final) image + motion vectors then it has no idea what lighting is

same inputs as normal dlss

[sweet estuary]

There we go, it doesn’t have access to assets

[shut echo]

So it gets something close to the final image and guesses how it should look like. If you don’t have access to the raw data how will this ever not be sloppa? It’s all arbitrary

[sonic musk]

They also interpolate between the face model and performance capture actor to ease up data retargeting

[unkempt seal]

this doesn't look like a light pass to me, correct me if I'm wrong

[quasi lodge]

Yeah that's the worse offender of alteration the street scene, but it does look like Grace in that scene in the original is using a much lower res image compared to cutscenes

I am not sure why either

[unkempt seal]

even if technically correct on every single instance they showed it just made the weather overcast. Which then those reflections would make sense. it completely hallucinated the game's engine weather system

[velvet ferry]

Thats what I was thinking was the culprit, RE9 has such low res textures to begin with

[quasi lodge]

but she doesn't look that low res always in gameplay it's odd

I think the back of her is rendered closer to cutscene fidelity which makes sense

"However, the rendering horsepower available to a 16-millisecond game frame remains a tiny fraction of that available to a photoreal Hollywood VFX frame, which can take minutes to hours to render. Real-time rendering cannot bridge the gap to photorealism through brute force alone." They are correct, we are nearing limitations of raw rasterization and die shrinkage, we cannot make leaps without AI and neural rendering used going forward

[sweet estuary]

Maybe we don’t need photorealism

Has that ever occurred to you

r/nvidia mods deleting posts critical of dlss 5 lol

[unkempt seal]

of course

they always do that

anything mildly critical

[sullen lodge]

what do they get out of that lol

i dont understand

[unkempt seal]

well. they're reddit mods

[unkempt seal]

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1rvovsi/john_linneman_of_digital_foundry_discusses_his/

this is a good example of how anyone critical is downvoted to oblivion and anyone positive is upvoted forever

Completely agree with John and completely disagree with some of the people on that thread, they can call it blown out lighting or whatever bla bla bla

The environment stuff was looking really freaking cool and photorealistic for me.

It’s like some of the cyberpunk mods, they do same things and the look much more realistic.

Not gonna read about this anymore, it's ennerving

[sullen lodge]

ive seen worse comments tbh

was expecting worse from what you were saying

[steady flame]

The environment lighting changes looks just as bad as any face change

[sullen lodge]

agreed

not to mention its all confined to screenspace!!!

[unkempt seal]

what I mean is that reasonable comments are being downvoted

[sullen lodge]

literally all it has to work with is the basically final image + motion vectors and the motion vectors are just there for temporal stability reasons

[unkempt seal]

only bootlicking comments are upvoted

[sullen lodge]

oh right

[unkempt seal]

[eternal hinge]

Sorry but she looks nothing like that photo of Grace, just because the AI hallucinates, doesn't mean we have to

[sweet estuary]

Guys why is this not in the louvre

[unkempt seal]

I guess the haters are used to the fake lighting and oversaturated colors so they won’t allow this much better fixed version

[knotty apex]

because they forgot to put the rat under her hand like in the original painting

Even in Crimson Dessert which has nothing to do with it

[sullen lodge]

id go there if i didnt have to give my id to discord

not happening

or my face

[inland topaz]

Crimson desert made the mistake of being a video game in 2026 so it’s gonna attract controversy like flies

[unique snow]

https://insider-gaming.com/dlss-5-gamers-are-wrong/

Speaking with developers and artists at studios that have agreed to DLSS 5, including CAPCOM and Ubisoft, Insider Gaming was told that the DLSS 5 tech was revealed to them at the same time as everyone else.

I'm shocked Nvidia lied.

C-suite people gave their blessing, that's it.

[civic cairn]

@fierce wedge On a scale from 1-10 how much would this enhance current version 🤔

[rich smelt]

• Fix banding in fog
• Improve shimmering / low res fog
• He could test out Laplacian texture blending for terrain if he wants
• BRDF improvements (especially if the game still uses lambert)

[civic cairn]

😳

Send the kofi

Jk

[rich smelt]

dont have one

Musa has

[civic cairn]

Nothing at all?

[rich smelt]

nada

[civic cairn]

:( wanna support

[rich smelt]

I have a defunct paypal

[civic cairn]

Ehhh I’m not a fan of PayPal mainly bc reveals info

But if it’s all you got

[rich smelt]

its defunct

so you would be sending it to no where

[civic cairn]

Yeah I know

[rich smelt]

I might set up something later

after Crimson

[civic cairn]

Yippie

Nah do it soon before

I think kofi should be easy and quick to setup

And if you do, ping me :D

Yall r cool
HDR is a new thing to me and its my current learning obsession

[rich smelt]

no worries, I am going further than HDR now

HDR is borning to me

I learnt all from the goat musa

time for new pastures

[polar summit]

DLSS5 to bg3 when

[rich smelt]

diversification

[rich smelt]

trying to bind Gbuffer normals to shadows rn

they use depth derivate normals

e,g what reshade does

so you get all sorts of asscheeks blocky artefacts on characters

and random ass shadow acne

[polar summit]

everytime i replay

i forget how ugly the game can look at times

[rich smelt]

its dreadful

shadows constantly shimmer like shit

[polar summit]

it's so bad

[rich smelt]

They decided to use 4 2048x2048 shadowmaps but 3/4th of the shadowmap isnt used.

It packs only a 1024x1024 shadowmap into a 2048 texture

then stiches the 4 of them into a 8192 blit

bro

wtf is this

[polar summit]

huh

but like

what the point of it

[rich smelt]

pathtracing cant come soon enough

raster is soo washed

[rich smelt]

you'd think that close up camera from lvl up screen or dialogue would have better shadows

nahhh

256p shadows

[polar summit]

genuinely the worst part

that the camera 90% of the time

[civic cairn]

Wtf is beyond hdr

[polar summit]

is up in characters faces, and it looks like it does

[rich smelt]

DLSS 5

[polar summit]

[civic cairn]

I wonder if most people behind it genuinely like it

But I guess I will save my judgement until it’s fully out

[rich smelt]

the game atleast uses Burley diffuse and uses the full stack of J. Jimenez / TLoU for character rendering so you get

parallax iris, shadows from eyelid + eyelashes and blah blah

but then they dont properly occlude iris specular IBL behind shadows

if the eyeball is being occlude in shadow

[polar summit]

all that fancy stuff just for my shadows to ruin it

[rich smelt]

it still runs full as specular

[polar summit]

so that's why it looks the same

like it always glows the same

[rich smelt]

yes, the eyeball looks consistent regardless

[polar summit]

regardless of framing

[rich smelt]

it glows

doesnt matter if shadows or not

[polar summit]

fine

i'll do another playthrough when the mod is ready

with dlss5 too

maybe even a blowout slider

https://tenor.com/view/peepo-shy-gif-26415291

[civic cairn]

I hate this game because at some points I like in game brightness at 139 then sometimes at 200 and idk what to choose for 650 nits 😭 how does musa and others do 400 and 100. but then at the same time the intentional crushes are killing me

[polar summit]

preserve shadow detail preset is pretty good

[civic cairn]

I might play with that, I just feel bad since I’m not using the EOTF emulation but sacrifices do gotta be made 🤷

[polar summit]

you can mess around with the secondary scene grading/scaling to fine tune the black floor a little as well

[polar summit]

It's a little unclear what Capcoms intended look is really

[civic cairn]

I’m not really used to HDR/filters and I’m thinking like, it’s set it and forget like Dolby vision, so I am assuming having a consistent game brightness & overall grading will vary from game to game

[polar summit]

there doesn't seem to be a mode to be viewed in G2.2 in SDR

[civic cairn]

is gamma 2.2 and sRGB two different things?

[polar summit]

preserve shadow detail matches their BT709 viewed with gamma 2.4 pretty well

[polar summit]

ya different gamma curves

[civic cairn]

ima have to learn this shit

[polar summit]

Reno should look consistent across different brightness levels

so just use whatever looks good to you

between 100-200 nits is generally fine

[civic cairn]

technically though lower to what I can tolerate is better right

[polar summit]

ya the lower the better

more dynamic range

[civic cairn]

hmm alright

the only thing that sucks is I have to keep toggling hdr so it’s hard to see the before and after

but I guess if I can’t really notice then 🤷

[polar summit]

But it has dimishing returns

like 150 game brightness with 650 peak

has plenty of dynamic range and would look really good

[polar summit]

ya, but keep in mind your eyes need to adjust as well

going from 200 nits game brightness to 100 could look quite jarring

but it's fine once your eyes are adjusted to the brightness

[civic cairn]

that is true

i have been playing around with 150 tbh

i think i like it

[polar summit]

That's what i would use with 650 peak

depends on how bright your environment is and stuff as well

[civic cairn]

then honestly I will stick with it until I learn more about my personal preference 😭

[polar summit]

could go lower if pitch black

[civic cairn]

i can play in pitch black yeah

[polar summit]

if you like 150 then just use that and enjoy the game tbh

[heady arch]

Anyone tried DS2 HDR yet ?

DLSS clamps HDR

so off to a good start

[solid shale]

it def needs renodx

looks kinda washed out to me plus the brightness clamp bug with dlss

the HDRobbery mod is still up, they also posted another mod, fov related, i'd guess also stolen lol

[uneven halo]

its crazy that I spam commented "stop ripping off renodx"

and i got warning for it

but the mod is still up

[queen kernel]

yeah, there are zero comments, clearly everything is being removed

[uneven halo]

the fov one is a dll

i reported a trainer that was a LUA that someone uploaded that had a virus

it was a complete rip off of the ultimate trainer as well

wonder if its the same guy

[civic cairn]

whaaaaaaaat

[uneven halo]

there was a line of code in it that when the game ran to open up something.

i know that someone uploaded a skip chapter mod that also had something similar and it got removed

[civic cairn]

man

can’t have peace when injecting a dll or using a Lua file nowadays

[fierce wedge]

I like how they renamed the sliders

[mental glen]

@fierce wedge do i just report for stolen content or

[fierce wedge]

ye stolen

[mental glen]

reported

[uneven halo]

its crazy how the mods get at me for spam commenting on it but they won't remove it even though it's been removed already

[mental glen]

?

i remember seeing it, thankfully i didn't try it

i'm using this trainer to skip chapters. no one has reported anything, so hopefully it's fine

i really don't know how to set up this properly, every time i switch tone mapper to vanilla it seems better to me, am i doing smt wrong?

i'll put one on behalf of you

[inland topaz]

@fierce wedge gamma correction by luminosity seems to have... interesting effects for me.

40% bt.2020

luminosity\perchannel

i know its expected to have some colors push past bt709 from noise and such but is that not a lot? thats assuming this game has no real hdr assets

[fierce wedge]

ya that's normal

dark saturated colors are what's different

per channel smears them usually

[inland topaz]

is that amount of wcg not usally a sign something is wrong?

[fierce wedge]

its using lms shit not the standard bt709, bt2020, ap1 color spaces

but it also has proper gamut compression to stay within bt2020

also they use ap1 color space for post processing

so there's lots of wcg potential

[inland topaz]

ah so their "color gamut" transposed onto ours looks like tons of wcg

[fierce wedge]

well it is a ton of wcg

nothing fake or wrong in their code

they use that wider color space

with my 2.2 luminosity stuff

I'm taking something run in bt709

and adjusting it so its roughly the same saturation

but it has less hue shifts and smears and flattened detail

[inland topaz]

i see

under more normal circumstances, we generally tend to default to per channel, right?

[inland topaz]

when this isnt a thing

[terse field]

Good ol' CTRL+H in VSCode lol

[crude laurel]

what kind of cursed AI PRs are these:

https://github.com/uwlntilbbg/ENUX_HDR_Visual_Fix/commits/main/

instead of just forking the repo

the AI made a new repo

and uploaded everything in like 27 smol commits

[terse field]

rofl

[crude laurel]

no way

he replaced all the namespaces

renodx:: is now enux::

START_NAMESPACE(enux)
START_NAMESPACE(math)

my nioh3 blooms lider

  // Bloom strength
  if (ENUX_TONE_MAP_TYPE != 0.f) {
    r0.xyz = r0.xyz * (r0.w * saturate(FX_BLOOM_STRENGTH));  // Bloom Strength
  } else {
    r0.xyz = r0.xyz * r0.www;
  }

this is fairly new since this code was merged about a week ago

extended = enux::color::bt709::from::AP1(extended);

every game mod

[fierce wedge]

per channel is "correct" in the sense that it matches the behavior of sdr monitors

that's why the purist preset uses per channel

[inland topaz]

what is the reason to use luminosity then?

[crude laurel]

per channel for stuff like contrast and highlights sounds cursed

you want one scaler for those

[inland topaz]

gamma correction

[crude laurel]

oh nothing wrong with that, I prefer per ch gamma correction

because I think of it purely as EOTF emulation, and I want to do what a sdr display would do aka pow 2.2 per-ch

[fierce wedge]

channel smears

[inland topaz]

a regular sdr monitor also smears then?

if im understanding what marat said

[crude laurel]

sdr monitors dont output 6700 nits

[fierce wedge]

ya

unless the game encodes with 2.2

then there's no mismatched eotf happening

[inland topaz]

maybe yours doesnt

[inland topaz]

im not sure i follow. how is high brightness related to this?

[crude laurel]

maybe limited range

doesnt get griefed the same

not sure tbh, I didnt use sdr in ages so I cant answer if sdr smears or not

tbh I never noticed 2.2 smearing in my games

[mental glen]

[inland topaz]

so what is actually happening to the gamut with luminosity vs channel

[crude laurel]

not 100% sure about luminsoity

[inland topaz]

like i get that you're going off a pixels average vs a pixels highest value

[crude laurel]

I did try out the hue preserving gamma correction, which is just correct::gamma + hue::correct -- and that creates a ton of wcg and cope

[mental glen]

.

.

sorry had to save my eyes

[inland topaz]

LOL

[crude laurel]

I thought a image was loading

but its just spaces

[mental glen]

[fierce wedge]

its just a different formula for luminance

[civic cairn]

what other stuff do y'all use beside renodx just curious

[crude laurel]

ik about that, just never used it so cant comment on the math its trying to do

[mental glen]

wym by that

[crude laurel]

if lyall has a fix mod, maybe that; esp for ue games

u+ too depending on the game

[inland topaz]

oh wait

luminesce vs luminosity

[crude laurel]

if you're talking about other mods I use with games

[inland topaz]

that didnt even occur to me

[crude laurel]

yea two different things

[civic cairn]

like ive heard of things like optiscale, u+, display commander, etc... just curious if y'all use that too and if its worth looking into

[inland topaz]

its custom then, huh?

[crude laurel]

Y vs Yf

[mental glen]

ah

[fierce wedge]

luminosity is different from yf

[crude laurel]

optiscaler is good stuff

[fierce wedge]

gotta switch to yf anyway

[inland topaz]

what do people actually use opticalscaler for? i've never found use from it

[crude laurel]

but I dont start off adding 5000 mods

I just install reshade + reno, and then if I feel like something could be improved I'll install another mod

[crude laurel]

code vein 2 ran like shit and had to FG

optiscaler lets you add XeSS FG into a game that has upscaling in it; so I used it to add Xess FG which is awesome btw

amd bois use optiscaler to upgrade fsr2/3 to 4

[civic cairn]

oh yeah nah im just talking like universal (kinda) or i guess performance or "visual enhancement" stuff

[mental glen]

well yeah depends on the game, optiscaler is useful, u+ often improves games visually alot, Display commander is certainly a good tool i use that quite a bit, if a game needs an ultrawide fix ill use that

[crude laurel]

none tbh

[inland topaz]

oh thats huge

[crude laurel]

everything is on a per-game basis

[civic cairn]

yeah thought so as well, just wanna make sure im not missing out on anything else like i was with hdr 😭

[mental glen]

well theres always stuff to improve but i wouldnt say youre like hugely missing out on anything if you dont use everything

Optiscaler i only use in some games

not all

[inland topaz]

so luminosity as it is in your mods is a custom formula?

[mental glen]

for example

[civic cairn]

i assume i will know when i need it

[mental glen]

u+ i will generally use if available id say

displaycommander is nice for fps capping and nvapi hdr games shenanigans and some other QoL stuff, i use it for example with games where i use controller to have anti-deadzone settings because so many games have quite big deadzones on the sticks and the steam controller settings for this are a bit annoying to use while in DC its just a simple slider

[crude laurel]

yea, u+ is almost always welcome

[mental glen]

[civic cairn]

ooo they have a few games i plan on playing soon lets go

oh that deadzone option might be fire

[mental glen]

steam has it as well but its like 5 menues deep

i have a controller with hall effect sticks so i can basically play all games with 0 deadzones because the sticks a giga accurate but many games still have built in ones which is annoying asf and every game has different ones so i cant just set it globally in steam kek

[inland topaz]

does steam still apply its deadzones if you're not using steam input?

[mental glen]

would be suprised if it does

steam shouldnt interfere at all if steam input is disabled

so you couldnt even do that without SK or DC or some other tool
but yeah in steam its like a bit annoying to get to like i said

like bruh

[inland topaz]

the annoying part to me is if i want to shrink my deadzones, i gotta shrink them everywhere lol

[mental glen]

well global doesnt really work

because everygame has like their own amounts of deadzone and shapes of deadzones

[inland topaz]

right but i mean like

the controller has a deadzone setting

steam has a deadzone settings

etc etc

if i want to make it smaller and one of them is still larger than the other than nothing really changes

[mental glen]

well controller if hall effect should be 0

my controller sends a super tiny amount of input just from tilting the controller or blowing on the stick

[inland topaz]

if only adaptive triggers and haptic feedback + halleffect

without spending 8 billions dollars

[mental glen]

well adaptive triggers are cool and all but sticks are most important to me

and shape

[inland topaz]

regular sticks are good enough that id choose to have the fancy features

[mental glen]

i hate the ps controller shape

[inland topaz]

also i love the duelsense shape

ps4 and 3 are for alien hands

ps5 is goat

its like they looked at the ps4 controller and said "huh, this wasnt built to be held comfortably" so they changed it to be human hand fitting

its a crazy concept that they only just figured out

[mental glen]

ps4 was atrocious

5 is better but still alot inferior to the xbox style shape to me

[inland topaz]

i used to use an xbox controller

thought i liked offset sticks

now i cant go back to offset sticks lol

[mental glen]

i can play both

but i prefer offset heh

[inland topaz]

man re9 sure is great huh

[mental glen]

dunno i barely played

waiting for either a different denoiser maybe with like reframework? or RR update

[inland topaz]

It was joke to recenter channel

I know you haven’t played lol

[mental glen]

[sturdy tide]

Waiting for DLSS5

[stray finch]

pussy ass bitches

report it everyone

[mental glen]

NAHHHHHH

The audacity

[mental glen]

Why the fuck did the mods close the comments

But not take this shit down

[solid shale]

Nexus mods don’t care lol

[worthy cradle]

i reported it

on nexus mods

[frank badge]

Could high debanding in nvpi help with color banding in dark areas?

[dire helm]

How close to the end am I once I reach ||the orphanage||?

[carmine lantern]

Around 2/3 maybe?

[dire helm]

Thank you

[pearl willow]

@fierce wedge hey, there are new slider defaults for the latest Reno fix added by you on Nexus? Or why you mention that we need to reset settings? I think you refer to the RenoDX settings right? Not the game's settings, yes?

[civic cairn]

Are you talking about the red text in the menu?

[pearl willow]

No, about the change log notes: """ Make sure you read the instructions carefully, this requires more steps than other RenoDX mods

• RESET YOUR SETTINGS, NEW DEFAULTS AND SLIDERS"""

[civic cairn]

Oh yeah, for reset all (default preset) has been updated and is recommended to apply the adjustments

so would just do reset all and then retoggle hdr. as far as I’m aware in game hdr settings don’t matter other than the toggling — and overall game settings do not matter or need to be changed

[pearl willow]

okay, thanks!

i wonder what the sliders default too, what has been changed? With the previous version i needed to tweak a bit the pre tone map shadows, game crushed blacks a bit, at least for my case on my OLED TV

So i bumped pre shadows to 95 from 85

[nocturne vine]

Is the mod working fine with latest updates and all?

[dense fjord]

yes

[dire helm]

Yup just finished game with it

[nocturne vine]

tyty

[pearl willow]

I see that Musa added a new slider in his latest version of the mod, shadow contrast slider

good to dial in those shadow details better

How to make renodx working with specialk?

[solid shale]

why do you need it with special k?

[frank badge]

I dont need it for hdr?

[carmine lantern]

Renodx uses reshade add on for hdr

U don’t need special K

[frank badge]

Ref menu doesn't open with optiscaler installed

[solid shale]

renoDX mod adds HDR. special K is only for adding HDR to games without native HDR or renodx

why do u need optiscaler

[frank badge]

XeFg

[carmine lantern]

They are both keybound to insert

Change one of them to a different key

[frank badge]

Already do that, delete for ref ans insert for optiscaler

[carmine lantern]

Do you have reshade installed too?

What dll name are u using for reshade and optiscaler

[frank badge]

Now i'm using
dxgi - optiscaler
Reshade64 - reshade
dinput8 - reframework

Opti for xefg works, reshade for renodx work, ref menu doesn't show.
In this case specialK as SpecialK64 give me ctd or even pc freeze

[carmine lantern]

Reframework still doesn’t show when not using specialk?

[frank badge]

Ref show only when specialk is installed or before configuring XeFG in optiscaler

[frank badge]

Ill delete specialK and disable optiscaler only if i need to add a mod through ref, anyway thank you

[carmine lantern]

Yeah it can get pretty finicky trying to manage all the different software lol

[last kiln]

uh no sk has a ton of other features lol

it can work with reno now

but opti + ref + reno can work without sk

[solid shale]

Well ya ofc but I’m just saying in regards to adding hdr support, special k isn’t needed when u have RenoDX

[frank badge]

And ref menu can be usable?

[solid shale]

If ur using it for fps cap and other stuff then sure yeah
