Briefings
A Reddit user named RevolutionaryBus8208 proposes using a PS5 connected via a 4K capture card and Veyra software to apply Nvidia's DLSS 5 AI rendering to the upcoming GTA VI. This setup aims to convert the console's 30 fps output to 90 fps for better visual fidelity, though the resulting video often appears washed out with an unnaturally smooth 'soap opera effect' compared to the original trailer. The evidence is limited to a single user's demonstration on an unmoderated subreddit and does not confirm the technology's feasibility for the full game.
Key points
- A user named RevolutionaryBus8208 plans to connect a PS5 to a PC via a 4K capture card and Veyra software to apply DLSS 5 AI rendering to GTA VI.
- The proposed method converts the console's 30 fps output to 90 fps, but the demo video often suffers from an unnaturally smooth 'soap opera effect' and washed-out colors.
Context
This finding addresses a growing trend of gamers attempting to bypass console exclusivity by using PC hardware to enhance graphics. The specific context is the unmoderated GTAVI subreddit where the proposal was shared, highlighting the experimental nature of the technology before official PC support.
Limitations
Evidence is limited to a single user's demonstration on an unmoderated subreddit. The technology's feasibility for the full game remains unverified, and the demo video shows significant visual artifacts compared to the original trailer.
