Gamers Are "Completely Wrong" In Criticisms Of DLSS 5, Nvidia CEO Says

Recently at GTC 2026, Nvidia announced DLSS 5, a new AI-powered tool for developers. Aspects of DLSS 5--including the eerie-looking facial features--have been the subject of public ire. Now, billionaire Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang has responded, telling gamers they are "completely wrong."

Tom's Hardware asked Huang at a Q&A at GTC for his thoughts on the criticism of DLSS 5 so far, and Huang said, "Well, first of all, they're completely wrong."

"The reason for that is because, as I have explained very carefully, DLSS 5 fuses controllability of the geometry and textures and everything about the game with generative AI," Huang said.
