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.
One week after Nvidia's DLSS 5 reveal sparked widespread developer criticism for using generative AI to alter game visuals and override artistic intent, indie figures are now urging a boycott. Dave Oshry, CEO of New Blood Interactive, called on gamers and developers to cripple Nvidia's sales and stock price, while Dusk developer David Szymanski decried its showcase in Resident Evil Requiem.

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.
Nvidia is recruiting specialists to enhance gaming performance on Linux systems, focusing on the Vulkan API and Valve's Proton software. The job listings highlight efforts to address performance bottlenecks amid growing adoption of devices like the Steam Deck. This move signals the company's investment in alternatives to Windows for gamers.

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.
Nvidia has released the full version of its DLSS 4.5 image-upscaling technology to users with GeForce RTX GPUs. Announced at CES last week, the update promises sharper visuals and better performance in games and apps. A beta was made available shortly after the announcement.
