We got a first look at Nvidia's DLSS 5 and the future of neural rendering at GTC — the results can be impressive, but there's work to do

Nvidia unveiled DLSS 5 at GTC, showcasing the potential of neural rendering for gaming graphics. DLSS 5 uses AI to enhance image quality and fidelity in games, even improving lighting effects in titles with real-time ray tracing like Hogwarts Legacy. The technology also enhances environments and objects in games without ray tracing, such as Starfield and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. While DLSS 5 offers impressive results, there are concerns about maintaining consistency with a game's creative direction and potential hardware requirements. Nvidia plans to launch DLSS 5 this fall with support for over a dozen games initially.
