DLSS 5 is on track for a Fall 2026 debut and replaces a game's original textures with AI-inflused versions to make them hyperreal. Or, out of one uncanny valley and into another!

They aren't upscaling a lower-res render in real time, they're upscaling the textures in memory in real time and then rendering the usual viewpoint with fake new textures.

I don't think that's entirely the case. It might be part of what's going on, but it's definitely not everything, because actual shapes are changing https://streamable.com/pzap7c

Per the article:

According to Nvidia, unlike Video AI models, which must run offline and can produce unpredictable output, DLSS 5 operates in real time, using a game engine's motion vectors and source color as inputs for its AI model. Those inputs are then used to combine the aforementioned photoreal lighting and materials, delivering consistent performance frame-to-frame. DLSS 5 has been trained to apply its visual enhancements across various model details, including hair, skin, and even fabric.

Ah, you're right, this is even worse than I expected. Merely upscaling the textures would have been notably less awful.
