Kingdom Come Dev Defends DLSS 5 Slop Filter, Calling It an 'Uncanny Beginning'

Daniel Vávra, head of Warhorse and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, publicly defends Nvidia’s DLSS 5, calling it an ‘uncanny beginning’ that could eventually replace costly ray tracing and be trainable for specific art styles or faces. He rejects the idea that DLSS 5 merely redraws a 2D image with a soap-opera filter, while critics argue otherwise; the piece sits amid broader backlash from developers and analysts about AI-assisted visuals and the tech’s potential impact on game design and industry dynamics.

NVIDIA DLSS 5 Upscales Real-Time Frames Using 2D Imagery and Motion Vectors

DLSS 5 is described as taking a 2D frame plus motion vectors as input and using an AI model to output enhanced frames in 2D, with underlying geometry and textures unchanged; NVIDIA says this 2D-only approach is more efficient than full 3D rendering. The tech will offer developers controls for intensity, color grading, masking, and where enhancements apply, though it remains an early preview.

PS5 Pro boosts visuals with a big AI upscaling update tonight

Sony is rolling out an upgraded PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) AI upscaler to PS5 Pro games with the latest system update, expanding support to titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Silent Hill 2, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and more. Digital Foundry testing says the update reduces shimmering artifacts and delivers crisper, more consistent graphics, thanks to AMD/Sony’s Project Amethyst work and a backport of FSR 4-style tech. The upgrade arrives in phases starting March 17 at 1 AM ET, with additional titles and patches (including Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Cyberpunk 2077) to follow in coming weeks; players can toggle PSSR on or off per title.
