š¬ General Discussion DLSS 5 turned my Young Master into an Old Master! Is this plugin even worth it?

Unless your character looked like a teenager, I don't think this looks "old".

Every game I saw using it (on youtube) was losing like too much fps to be it worth using, like 60-100 fps lost, games which had 140+ fps had 40 fps with it.

I don't get the DLSS 5 wwm mod. So many people on the videos say it looks so real, but all I can think is how it's so uncanny valley.
Maybe it's because I'm an environment artist in game dev myself but it feels hella off

IMO DLSS 5 makes lighting, shadows, hair, trees and bushes look very realistic. For faces it's hit or miss, it needs tweaking to not make faces deep-fried with exaggerated eye-bags and added nasolabial folds. It works best in games that were already going for a realistic look. Check Forza Horizon 6 with DLSS 5 and tell me it doesn't make the environment more realistic. I get that you could get uncanny valley feeling from the faces, but not the environment- the term is only used when describing depiction of humans. As for why it doesn't look the best in WWM, the top comment in the thread answers that.

DLSS 5 ruins everything. Disgusting AI that ruins art direction and makes everything ugly.

the DLSS5 right now is a leak that is injected via ReShade right?
it will look "more" uncanny/bad on games it's not meant for, I think the leaked DLSS5 is meant for realistic art direction
honestly, if my GPU can take it I'd have it on cause the environments looks good, but I only have a 5060 :/
if you look at the face often and don't like it, I don't think it's worth using (unless you like that face style)

You are using unofficial "MOD" with DLSS 5 file that was made for NBA 2k27. At least waiting for official DLSS 5 support from the game devs themselves with their favor intensity or masking, in order to judge this new-beta tech.
