NVIDIA Addresses DLSS 5 Visual Misinformation

On April 1, 2026 DSOGaming editor John argues that reported visual anomalies blamed on NVIDIA's DLSS 5 are misattributed. He shows examples from Oblivion Remastered, EA Sports FC 26, and Starfield that appear without DLSS 5 and attributes many artifacts to DLSS 4/4.5 Frame Generation or preexisting mesh issues. The piece urges verification with control toggles and cautions against misinformation.
