FAQ

What is Nvidia's DLSS 5?

It is the fifth generation of Deep Learning Super Sampling, using AI to improve graphics quality and game performance, with new generative capabilities for faces and details.

Why did DLSS 5 spark controversy at its first reveal?

Because its generative effects altered character features too aggressively, making teenage characters look older and changing other characters unnaturally, leading gamers to call it 'gen AI for video games.'

Should MENA gamers upgrade to new RTX cards now?

It depends on the games you play. If you play AAA titles and want better performance, an upgrade may help, but it is wise to wait for independent performance reviews of DLSS 5 in Hogwarts Legacy before buying.

How does DLSS 5 differ from previous versions?

Earlier versions focused on upscaling and frame rates, while DLSS 5 adds generative elements for faces and details, which raised concerns about altering character identity before Nvidia toned down the effect in the final release.
