Bethesda has responded to backlash over Nvidia's newly revealed DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology, assuring players that its implementation in Starfield will be totally optional and under artists' control. The technology, showcased with Starfield and Resident Evil Requiem, drew widespread criticism for its visual alterations. Bethesda stated it is an early look with further adjustments planned.

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang addressed gamers' concerns over DLSS 5's generative AI features in a Lex Fridman podcast interview, admitting he dislikes 'AI slop' while emphasizing the technology's artist-guided nature that enhances frames without changing core game structures. Partnerships with major studios signal broad upcoming adoption.

Following Nvidia's DLSS 5 announcement and ensuing backlash, GeForce Evangelist Jacob Freeman described the technology as processing a single 2D frame plus motion vectors—seemingly contradicting CEO Jensen Huang's emphasis on geometry-level generative control. The exchange underscores confusion around the AI upscaling feature unveiled earlier this month.

Nvidia has posted two job openings for senior Linux engineers aimed at improving its GPU drivers, particularly for Vulkan and Proton technologies. The roles focus on enhancing performance for Linux gaming, where AMD currently leads. This move comes as Linux gains popularity among gamers amid the end of Windows 10 support.
