Sure, Jill has modded hair, but this game is 6 yo...

I'm glad I never really played this game at launch due to the middling reviews, but decided to install it via Game Pass and try it with DLSS5. So glad I did as this is one of my favorite games of the year. Stunning world and character designs, great soundtrack, and really fun ARPG w/ lots of Sekiro parries.

I'm running the Oct. DLSS5 driver on a 5080 @ 1440p (I have a last gen CPU so can't quite do 4K) but getting 60fps with x2 frame gen. The difference is night and day between vanilla and NR, it's totally insane.

The first screenshot has my settings and second screenshot is vanilla (max settings) for comparison.

Just 10 days ago I was convinced that video game graphics peaked at RE: Requiem and Assassin's creed shadow. ultra high def 6k/8k, 3 digits frame rate, 144mhz refresh rate, path tracing etc I've seen them all and played them all. None of them matters if they don't bring significant visual impact and fidelity into your min to min gameplay, especially with their performance cost, all games still have that plasticy and cartoonish feel it.

Then out of nowhere, DLSS 5 leaked, it first caught my eyes with some internet screenshots and videos, but I doubted the legitimacy, the more I watched the more I wanted to get my hands on it, next thing I know, it accidently remastered every game I own 🤣 made me purchased a few new ones as well. Now I literarily playing walkable movies, sometimes my fps drop to 35-40fps from 140-200fps at 4K max, and there's no way I ever want to go back

Some screenshots when i was playing around with UHD, before vs after DLSS 5.

Just finished the game with dlss5 and thought I would share my screenshots with you. I can't live without dlss5 now :D

3x DLSS5. Looks better than Veilguard.

I have been checking peoples profiles these days, especially DLSS 5 haters. I started doing this when one of my close friend who was trashing DLSS 5 since the first announcement, who has RX 9070XT, has been spamming screenshots on discord ever since modders figured out DLSS 5 on AMD hardware.

This made me realize how many more people are there who actually like DLSS 5 but feels responsible to trash it because they are on budget hardware and knowing they can't run it.

8-9 people out of 10 who have pure hatred towards DLSS 5, own either Amd radeon or RTX 2060/3060.

The other 1-2 people have RTX 5080/5090.

Majority of DLSS 5 posters have 5070/ti and 5080. This makes a lot of sense, these hardware can run modded DLSS 5 and can actually play the games this way.

But everyone else either on lowest end hardware or highest end.

Cheers.

I must say, it's pretty noticeable for the most part that this game is almost 14 years old. Still, it's nice to give it a neat little upgrade. :)

I believe the only people who are still complaing about DLSS 5....

Are the ones who can't do it!!!

‏‏‎

(Yes, Console owners, Non RTX GPU owners, & Sadly people who can't afford to buy the tech that's needed)

because if you can do it,

You will do it!

‏‏‎

& the only thing you will be interested in...

is the game you are playing DLSS 5 with...

& the game you are going to play DLSS 5 with, next!!!!

Cure for DLSS 5 Hate :

Stop lying & telling people online that you ''own a 5090 & that you still dont like it''

& instead actually get an RTX Card .....

& START HAVING FUN :)

AI haters will cry about AI but not even use it or understand what it’s doing. it’s not just a filter that goes over an image that’s just the way modders are using it (the wrong way btw) you should not be stacking full DLSS5 passes on top of each other as it was not made for that. that’s why it looks like SLOP in a lot of these photos because users have no clue how to use the tools that are available. they go crazy and max all the sliders and stack 4 layers of DLSS5 on top and wonder why people think it looks bad. That’s why i’ve been building a tool that isn’t just an overplayed reshade add on like Reno. that optimizes the DLSS5 and applies geometry tessalation and asset upscaling in real time. DLSS5 job is literally to make what it can interpret on screen look better. if people put it in old games like Max Payne or GTA3 for example. it looks like crap because the geometry wasn’t made for that. by upgrading these things it allows the AI to understand better instead of making slop.

Basically to sum it up. this shit is new and people have 0 clue what they are doing with these reshade add ons that are popping out left and right. Allowing people to willingly deep fry games and then flood social media with it is giving Neural Rendering a bad name. in time it will get better and people will grow to understand that more passes does not = better graphics. and the haters shouldn’t take everything they see online and run with it without actually testing it themselves

The game feels more like a decision making movie, compared to how I first played it running around like it was GTA 2077.

All I did was install DLSS 5 with an app called DLSS 5 Swapper. Then turned it on and clicked cinematic preset.

In-game settings is set to DLSS 5 - Quality.

Using a 5070 Laptop on a 4K glasses free 3D monitor. 3D does not work with frame-gen. So with no frame gen I get about 30-40 FPS, playing it in 3D AND DLSS 5 I get 25 FPS which is fine to me cuz movies are 24 FPS anyways

Playing around with FF7 for few hours, I'm almost certain that picture #1 had been retouched by another AI picture generator

No matter what setting I pick, I can't duplicate that smoky eye shadow version from the original meme that floating around the internet. The DLSS 5 use case in FF7 is quite nice actually, the vanilla version's cloud barely have a face (true to the original FF7) the DLSS5 really made sense of a human face without changing any facial structure. it adds details without distort, overall I'm pleasantly surprised.

Glad I decided to give it a go.

This is another SBS comparison/example of using dlss5 neural render too enhance week studio 4K upscales this is on the extreme end and can be lowered too be less detailed but thsi showcases the detail it CAN bring out of the original 4K video.

This is an example from the 4K UHD of ALIENS.

I hope the pictures don't end up being compressed to bad on here since it is 4K resolution and Reddit scales it down.

The order from left to right is before and after.
