Nvidia’s DLSS 5 could give my favorite old games the glow-up I’ve been waiting for
It has the potential to bring back some golden memories.
AMD may be developing an alternative to Nvidia's DLSS 5, according to a leaked statement from a GPU expert. The neural rendering technology would be integrated into next-generation RDNA 5 GPUs, potentially launching as late as late 2027 or 2028. This delay could put AMD at a significant disadvantage against Nvidia, who have already implemented DLSS 5 in their graphics cards.
A leaker suggests that AMD should focus on creating a separate AI model for lighting and another for complex surface shading, bypassing the need for the AI to guess and making more accurate light interactions. The suggestion to omit color-grading from the AI's process also aims to preserve the original artistic intent better. AMD has been lagging behind Nvidia in graphics technology, with FSR following DLSS, so this development could be an opportunity for the company to catch up.
However, the performance hit from DLSS 5 is substantial, so AMD's rival must address this issue to be successful.
