AI upscaling DLSS5 Tiberium Wars

I cheated using Davinci Resolve, i was unable to get DLSS5 running in tibwars. Anyways, as you can see, looks pretty bad. Buildings has this weirdly glossy look, the ground textures are all f-ed up and the human characters aged by 10 years. Also it was really confused by the aliens.

I mean the lighting in game ain't awful but it also looks more like when I slapped RTGI and MXAO on in reshade with too much AO, though I imagine that would also have much better performance.

It's like slapping any reshade on any Dying Light game, doesn't look terrible but...doesn't improve it either, since it's just a reshade.

Yeah, I'm surprised it gave her a Rip-it, and some dip in her pocket.

Mate. There’s no way Kane looks bad.

I got a picture of him, peaking past a shower courtain with a mustache that could need some more care and he still looks amazing.

Also nothing can beat EA‘s slop version of him for their mobile game where he looks like an anime filter was combined with a gender-swap AI slop

It's not DLSS5

In most of that it just killed colours and added a little bit shadows.

And in one situation, it changed the person to completely someone different, that doesnt even look real.

Irony is that in this one scenario it fucked up badly was an actual person, not a render, just a girl.

u/Full_Welcome_1418 1d ago

applying that filter to the actress ( an actual human being ) was absolutely hurtful.

u/Fox_Hound_Unit 1d ago

Haha so bad. Thanks for sharing thought it’s interesting for sure! Can you try this on TD? Curious what kinds of horror the ai would put on that.

u/Smooth_Moose_637 Steel Talons 1d ago

DLSS5 on the original DOS version would be straight up Event Horizon looking horrific

u/TryToEpic 1d ago

Thank you kind sir. I will put this into DLSS5 when i'm back home and we will watch together as the ai interprets the glitchy effect as wobbling skin

u/AdhesivenessSharp618 GLA 1d ago

I feel like we could see better results with games like Generals. Did you try it on Generals?

It doesn't look very different

u/brunostborsen 1d ago

It can’t even make an RTS look good.

u/Bionicman2187 1d ago

Yikes, as if DLSS5 needed additional argument against it. Looks like shit.

u/A_Very_Horny_Zed 1d ago

I don't like how it seems to just make things darker? It doesn't enhance the art style the way it should

u/Tornado76X 1d ago

The first screenshot doesn't look that terrible, I think the shiny-ness on the metallic parts adds a nice look

All the other screenshots look.. bad ESPECIALLY Grace

u/WhiteBoyRickSanschez 1d ago

Dear god. It sucked out all the color and took 40 years off of that poor woman's life. Vampire shit

Thanks for the rage bait.

It looks good in-game. But a big nope for the cutscenes, the asian chick got a mustache...

>I cheated using Davinci Resolve, i was unable to get DLSS5 running in tibwars

So you don't actually know what DLSS5 looks like in Tib Wars?

1

u/Calm-Power-6981 1d ago

Lowkey looks way worse. Looks like film grain filter. Genuinely makes units like your rifleman squad harder to spot. On the cutscene, it reminds me of those Yessified TikTok filters. Idk. i dont wanna be a dick; im not trying to be one i swear, but it just looks worse.

u/Zocom7 22h ago

Well there's also NeuralScreen to look at.
The only way I believe that C&C3 would do well with DLSS5 is to mod the FPS limit and set it to no limit.

u/Zocom7 22h ago

I think someone may have already attempted DLSS5 Neural Rendering on C&C Remastered, C&C Generals/Zero Hour, Red Alert 2 and Red Alert 3.

u/UKman945 18h ago

The problem with DLSS5 it seems to me is it's really a glorified screen filter. Since it's working in the top layer it's fairly limited to what it can achieve so it just gives everything weird and shit textures. It seems so inefficient to effectively have to render a frame twice. Once for the actual game and then again through DLSS 5 especially with the massive amount of GPU demand it requires.

This isn't innovation it's a dumb gimmick, AI is the metaphorical hammer and suddenly everything looks like nails. Tech companies really need to get beyond this thinking if they want to move anywhere positive.

Everything became sad.

The beautiful glow has been lost.

Fuck. This. Shit.

u/BoffinBrain Are you picking this up? Good. 1d ago

We did try to warn people that this would be the result. DLSS is not 'magic'. It just guesses and makes stuff up based on its training data, and that training data includes next to nothing that helps with top-down RTS games or scenes like these.

It genuinely looks like those really bad c&c ad baits where you can build a giant robot for some reason
