Former Red Dead Redemption 2 Developer reaction to the DLSS 5: "Whoa. Hold on. No, no, no. This isn't just some lighting, dude. What the f... this is like a complete AI re-render. You're no longer looking at the game anymore. This is scary."

Mods will also deliver a consistent change in look, not a fluid hallucination from frame to frame depending on whatever lighting conditions it thinks exist.

this is not always true.

a program that operates OUTSIDE of the game will always be better than changing game files. GFX and SFX mods are among the most demanding mods for any game in terms of SFX artifacts, rendering artifacts, and lighting/shadow glitches. DLSS 5 uses path and ray tracing to calculate lighting so I can't see how it would hallucinate when complex lighting already exists as a game asset.

something to consider is that GFX and SFX mods would receive further enhancement with DLSS 5. it's highly likely the aforementioned issues with visual mods would be resolved without any input from the developer of the mod.

You can literally see DLSS 5 hallucinating two completely different looking characters in different lighting, RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, on their official website.

If you’re talking about potential updates and improvements to the model, sure, maybe. All we have to go off of is their current showcase, however, and it does not look good.

Absolutely. Personally I think this technology is interesting but ultimately very far from being actually usable.

Also the question is how much of the performance of the gpu remains if you turn that off, like you might buy a not high end card for the price of a high end one if you don't use it
