“Better” is in the eye of the beholder. DLSS 5 is optional, as are the shader and texture mods that are available for many games for ages. They both change the look of the game in ways the people creating them didn’t intend. I don’t really care about what the creators of games intended, I want to have fun playing it, and I’m okay with changing/modding the game until I have more fun. That is “better” to me.

DLSS5 probably doesn’t matter to me anyway, since the Nvidia together with their AI business centipedes actually don’t want to sell GPUs to consumers anymore.
