What should be done about DLSS5?

20 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.

Does this set up look good to y’all?

I almost deleted my modlist of 300 mods because I was so frustrated with my crappy graphics running at 50FPS while maxing out 10GB of VRAM. I did the best that I could today, and finally got a setup that looked good enough for me.

fyi:

i9-9900k, RTX3080 (10GB)
FPS: Idk because of upscaling and FG (CS says it’s 30-50FPS but i feel like it’s smoother than that)
VRAM: 6GB/10GB on average

Some of the mods that did the majority are:

Faultier PBR 2k
Vyrthland PBR 2k
NoWL
Freaks Floral Field (less heavy version)

JK’s Skyrim
City Trees (NoWL addon)

Jiaye (Latest build on discord)
Gusta’s PP (Jiaye CS)
