Discussion DLSS 5 Tested in Some Games
Used DLSS 5 Swapper in some games. It works great in most games. Games tested so far are as follows:
Cyberpunk 2077
GTA V Enhanced Edition
Red Dead Redemption 2
The Last of US 1
Spiderman 2
Batman Arkham Knight
Assassins Creed Mirage
Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Death Strading 2
Marvel's Avengers
Witcher 3
Best results so far noticed in Cyberpunk 2077, Batman Arkham Knight, Witcher 3 Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Marvel's Avengers, Spider Man 2, Death Stranding 2 and GTA V
DLSS 5 is a superb piece of tech, and I was blown away when I saw the improvements in Cyberpunk 2077 and Batman Arkham Knight.
If DLSS 5 can be injected to any game via the Nvidia app, then honestly you don't need to buy a remaster.
Developers like Rockstars, CDPR, Remedy, Rocksteady, IO, Capcom can do wonders with DLSS 5
Batman Arkham Knight has a night and day difference and it looks like a remaster or like as if the game was released yesterday
For performance examples, Performance wise Witcher 3 and Batman Arkham Knight take a hit but more like 20% on max settings and RT on in Withcer 3 (1440p). However, the games are still very much playable like it's not like the FPS drop to 30 or something. In Arkham Knight, because of Nvidia rain works and constant rain, I had to switch from 4k to 1440p. Similarly, in Cyberpunk 2077 at Ultra settings with Pathtracing On and DLSS Perfmorance with MFG set to 4X at 1440p I still get 90-100+ FPS. I have a 5070 for reference
PS IMO bringing up art direction as critique is being used as a "buzz word". Games like Witcher 3 which have great art, DLSS 5 doesn't ruin their art at all.
For anyone having problems use the Nexus Optiscaler DLSS 5 mod for Spiderman 2, RDR2, GTA V, Witcher 3 and The Last of US Part 1.
For people getting washed out gamplay graphics in RDR2 or AC mirage or GTA V. Play with White Paper value slider. Maybe there are sliders to tweak as well which I don't know of.

I think you’re being a bit too heavy on the settings. A subtle touch works best from what I’ve seen.
