Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin pushed to its limits with DLSS 5 Neural Rendering, Path Tracing and the FROST Dark Souls II Remastered setup, exploring Harvest Valley and facing the Covetous Demon.
This setup is based on the FROST modlist/installer, combined with DLSS 5 Neural Rendering.
DLSS 5 Neural Rendering can produce divisive results, so whether it looks better ultimately comes down to personal preference.

Yeah but how often do they actually police that? I played WoW with mods for years and blizzard never banned me.
Plus this AI decompiling thing is going to make it very hard for companies to prevent local hosting.
Not with those DS3 animations that completely kill the point of the game, it isnt.
really proves how terrible DS2's art direction is, even with AI enhancement it's still mostly bland looking, let alone the janky animation compared to DS1
The best game in the series and it's not even close.
We dont need remakes anymore at this point xD
Монстр на 0:35 просто зверь 🔥
Frame rate looks like shit
It looks like a remake of Demon's Souls.
why does this look even better than elden ring dlss5 and non dlss5 combined?
it was never the question about its look, its about its enemy position and design philosophy
WHEN DOSE THIS VERSION RELEASE
What kind of spec of PC would it take the run the game looking as good as this?
I was going to say that DLSS 5 looked promising for the first time, but then I realized it was PT that was doing all the heavy lifting…
video gaem
its literally demons souls
Starting the showcase in the Harvest Valley where everything is a boring greenish greyish sludge was certainly a choice. Don't get me wrong the later portions in the mill do look gorgeous but that starting location was probably one of the worst areas you could have picked to flex what this is capable of.
Haven't played this here shit for 45 yeeuhhs
Goat Souls II.
Disgusting AI slop is what DLSS5 is.
My favorite souls game ❤
I was looking forward to your video.
In "Earthen Peak," the impact of the poisonous mist is even more pronounced, giving the entire area a more eerie and sinister atmosphere.
If you told me this was a remake I wouldn't question you for a single second, this looks INSANE!!!!..
Hope they fix that parry issue.
played this game back then in 1789
Can u mix these mods with seamless coop?
Covetous demon in all his glory
Beautiful!
how you gonna fix an ass looking gameplay tho? with dlss 5? 😂
pathtracing? how? <doubt>
This is easily the best I've seen DLSS 5 improve an old game.
I tried playing DS2 again on the PS5 but it looks so much worse than this 😭
Beyond the trailer
Bro DLSS5 & Pathtracing?
How is your GPU ? isnt it running hot ?
Another great upload as always keep up the good work. 👍
2:30 Are the environment new models
I am enjoying the heck out of my fist DS2 run🎉
now only thing that is missing, mod for those boring picked up item icons
would this run on a 5070 ti or a 9070 xt
Kind sir, please share your DLSS5 settings. Yours looks different from Frost.
Yeah but it's still dark souls 2
There was no lantern in DS2. Also while some things are good, some things completely missed the mark. So I'd rather stick to OG as it is.
Suddenly I realize that my problem with DS2 always was the graphics
