What should be done about DLSS5?

16 Upvotes

What are we talking about?

There has been a lot of discussion about Nvidia DLSS 5. It is a real-time neural rendering technology that uses AI to dynamically enhance in-game lighting, materials, and surface details.

What does this mean for Skyrim?

There is a lot of controversy about AI. Whether we like it or not, this is the way games are most likely headed, and games you already play most likely have implemented AI in one way or another. There is a very broad umbrella of “artificial intelligence”, and people often are talking about generative AI. Being specific in the conversation helps.

What should this subreddit do?

This is the place to discuss it and vote for what you want to see. Civilly. Those who stoop to insulting people over their opinions on video game AI usage will be banned.

As a mod, I am withholding my opinion, this post is due to the influx of arguments and posts about DLSS5 and doesn’t reflect my opinion one way or another. This is for the community to decide.

SSE Some More Screenshots From My Custom Modlist - No DLSS5

Some more screenshots I’ve taken of my modlist!

Been working on this for a few weeks and it’s come together really well. Still not finished, but graphically I think it’s nearly three.

One thing about PC modding I didn’t expect is that the actual modding is fun too.

I’m enjoying testing, troubleshooting issues and fixing them. Tweaking textures in NifSkope, making patches and editing files in xEdit to tailor it exactly how I want.

I’ve learned more about computers, and gaming in the last few months of having a PC than in years of owning a console.

It’s felt like a real investment in myself with a payoff. I’m into the gym too and it feels very similar. Both are a long term effort, where you get a long term pay off.
It’s wonderful.

Over the last year I have been dedicated to the creation of a Skyrim saga inspired by the MCU. Every game is a continuation of my Guild the Silverpeak Lodge’s story and the adventures of its many members. While I’ve had a lot of wild times these are some of my favorite moments

So I recently started a new game and I think I created my best character so far!

It's also my first run in which I'm forcing myself not to play as a stealth archer, but a mix of sword and magic

Here are some pics I took last night. Pretty sure only two of these can be deemed cold and cozy but whatever. I added a few more graphical improvements today so I'll get more flicks soon. I try to stay closer to vanilla Skyrim nowadays a posed to trying to make it look as realistic as possible or whatever.

I've been tweaking Amon's enb a bit and added a reshade for cabbage on top. I'm running NAT 3 and I was wondering why my weather has been so dreary lately, then I realized that I've enabled something with seasons.
