Earlier this month, Intel presented an impressive new deep learning system that transforms the 3D in-game graphics of Grand Theft Auto 5 to photorealistic images. It was doing it at a higher precision than other similar neural networks, and it was much faster than photorealistic render engines that take minutes to hours to render a single frame.

But is the gaming industry ready for AI-based photorealistic render engines. In my latest column on TechTalks, I discuss the key technical and logistical challenges that suggest we will have to wait a few more years before the technology is ready for prime time.

Memory requirements, non-linear operations, and the costs of developing and training models are still too prohibitive to make deep learning–based photorealistic rendering available to game developers and gamers.
