What is DLSS 5?
DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a rendering technology by NVIDIA that uses AI to boost game performance while maintaining image quality.
DLSS 5 (expected / emerging term around the GeForce RTX 50 series era) builds on earlier versions like DLSS 2, 3, and 3.5.
Core idea (simple)
Instead of rendering every frame at full resolution:
- The game renders at a lower resolution
- AI reconstructs it into a higher-resolution image
- Result: more FPS with similar visuals

This topic has sparked huge controversy, I thought we could use a dedicated topic.
In my opinion it sometimes looks pretty damn neat. 14 year old me would have gone crazy for this technology.
However I am concerned about the original artistic vision. We can't let art design go to a complete waste...
