NVIDIA started an online firestorm this week when it announced DLSS 5 at its GTC conference. The company claims it’s meant to deliver “photorealistic” lighting and materials in games by using neural processing. But it differs considerably from previous versions of DLSS, which were focused on using machine learning to upscale lower resolutions and generate additional frames, and gamers online aren’t too happy. To help us break this down, Anshel Sag, VP and principal analyst at Moor Insights and Strategy joins us to discuss his experience with NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 demos. Also, we dive into what’s next for Xbox with Project Helix.
