DLSS 5 is supposed to push gaming graphics to the next level, but the more I look at it the more confused I am about it because what is the end goal. Most games already have their own art style and visual direction, so does every game really need to look more realistic?

I can definitely see the appeal for realistic games and simulators like basketball, soccer, and wrestling to an extend i guess.

In this video, I take a look at DLSS 5 in games like Grand Theft Auto V, WWE, Cyberpunk 2077, Final Fantasy VII, and Persona 5, and some of the results are honestly pretty strange.

As an artist, this made me wonder like even if this technology keeps getting better, what is the end goal? Is making games look more realistic always better, or will art direction continue to matter more?
