Nearly 20,000 TechPowerUp readers vote on NVIDIA DLSS 5
The media asked its readers what they think about NVIDIA DLSS 5, and the result shows a clear preference for original game visuals.
The poll collected nearly 20,000 votes. According to TechPowerUp, 58% of readers selected “AI shouldn’t be altering games,” making it the largest response by a wide margin. This group does not want AI models changing lighting, materials, character faces, or other parts of a game’s presentation.
Another 28% said they need to see real game results first. This suggests many readers are not rejecting DLSS 5 outright, but want to judge the technology in shipping titles rather than controlled demos.

A much smaller group is already positive on the technology. Around 8% said DLSS 5 looks better than native rendering, while about 6% said they would accept visual changes only if the feature improves FPS.
NVIDIA announced DLSS 5 in March and described it as a real-time neural rendering model that adds photorealistic lighting and materials to game frames. The company says the model uses game color and motion vectors as input, while keeping output anchored to the original game content. DLSS 5 is scheduled to launch this fall, presumably only for GeForce RTX 50 series.
