Gamers Give Console Video a PC Detour in Search of a Better Picture
· New York time
Players are using a capture card and open-source software to route PS5 video through a PC graphics card and apply Nvidia's DLSS 5 to GTA VI footage, Ars Technica reports. The setup is an elaborate workaround rather than a standard console feature. It turns a straightforward path from console to display into a tour of additional hardware and software, all in pursuit of a different image. The ingenuity is the attraction as much as any particular visual result: players are making equipment perform a task its usual setup did not provide. Whether the result looks better is a matter for viewers, not a guaranteed improvement. The project also reveals a familiar hobbyist instinct. Give people an expensive graphics card and a video signal, and eventually someone will ask whether the two can be introduced. Convenience can wait outside while the cables get acquainted.
