Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations

Here's something that might surprise you — Nvidia's latest DLSS 5, which promises smoother gaming, actually depends heavily on 2D frame data. And get this — according to Reddit user /u/esporx, testing shows it sometimes hallucinates details, making stuff up rather than rendering accurately. So, why does this matter? Well, for gamers and developers, it means some of those visual boosts might come with artifacts or errors, especially in complex scenes. What /u/esporx points out is that DLSS 5’s reliance on 2D data can lead to hallucinations — things that look real but aren’t. This isn’t just a minor glitch; it raises questions about how much we should trust these AI upscaling tech in critical moments. But here's the thing — Nvidia’s still pushing its claims, and the tech isn’t going away anytime soon. So, keep an eye on how these hallucinations evolve and what that means for future updates and gaming realism.
