Early leak of NVIDIA's DLSS 5 has an uncanny valley problem

An early-access build of NVIDIA’s DLSS 5, extracted from the NBA 2K27 PC beta, was applied to games such as Control and Skyrim, producing facial textures that appear photorealistic yet unnaturally stiff, creating a pronounced uncanny-valley effect. Neural Rendering in Control dropped performance from 71 fps to 35 fps at 4K on an RTX 5070 Ti, and the leaked version’s visual oddities suggest the final release may require careful integration to avoid similar issues.
