Nvidia DLSS 5 Survey Shows 71% of Gamers Would Never Use It
The announcement of DLSS 5 has not been well received by players. While Nvidia’s CEO has tried to defend the technology, he has not been able to convince them, as many continue to criticize it.
Now, a recent survey has made it clear just how strong that rejection really is, as most players who took part said they have no interest in using it at all.
Most PC Gamers Say No to Nvidia DLSS 5, Survey Shows 
PC Gamer recently conducted a survey asking, “Could Nvidia convince you to use DLSS 5?” The poll received a total of 4,484 votes and included several response options.
The results were as follows:
- “However good it looked, I’m ethically opposed to it and would never enable it” — 37%
- “It looks awful, I would never use it” — 34%
- “I’m already convinced” — 10%
- “Only if it looked better” — 10%
- “I would use it on certain games” — 9%
When combining the first two responses, the total reaches 71%, showing a strong rejection of the technology among those who took part in the survey.
Only 10% of respondents said they are already convinced by DLSS 5, while another 10% said they might use it if it looked better. A further 9% said they would only use it in specific games.
For now, it is clear that most PC players are not interested in what DLSS 5 currently offers, at least based on this survey. However, opinions may change once Nvidia fully launches the technology.
So, what do you think? Would you use Nvidia DLSS if the company presented and marketed it better? Let us know in the comments below.

I want a DLSS5 filter to make all game characters White and Heteronormative.
I hope Sony continue to use their own implementation (PSSR) and don’t go anywhere near this.
The whole thing is stupid. They haven’t actually showed any FOOTAGE. They just pause the screen and apply the filter. They won’t tell us how hardware intensive it is to have this enabled while playing – they can’t even tell us how much RAM and GPU power they used just to uglify the still images. This is one of those pointless things Nvidia is doing just to they can stamp it on a box and charge an extra $1000 for. Do you want an RTX 6070 with DLSS 5 capabilities? $3000. It is the same as a 5070, but won’t explode when DLSS 5 is enabled.
DLSS 5 is revolutionary tech! People are crying now but they won’t be in 3 years. You can bookmark this comment and come back then to tell me if I’m wrong.
