As we’ve witnessed since CP2077 launch, the dev team and Nvidia have done countless partnerships to show the abilities of the RED Engine and Geforce RTX hardware, through things like Pathtracing, Frame Gen, Ray Reconstruction.
Hours ago, Nvidia showed off their newest build of “Gaming Software” DLSS 5.0, where using AI, your GPU will superimpose graphics onto the game to give the illusion of higher quality and even photorealism.
As every single person with a brain expected, it is pure slop and takes away all soul from the medium it’s trying to enhance. DLSS 5.0 literally looks like a mobile porn ad.
I would LOVE if CDProjektRed denies doing further sponsored showcases with Nvidia, considering this is the exact kind of thing a megacorp would do. Doing a showcase for a product like shown would literally gain nothing for Cyberpunk 2077, outside of sponsor money, considering the entire crux of the “Upscaler” is “Look at how bad this game looks, but how amazing it could look with AI!” The game would literally just be a skin for Nvidia to use for advertising.
