DLSS 5 Will Be Coming to Older Graphics Cards After All
IGN • • technology
Key Points:
- Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering technology launched exclusively on RTX 5000 series graphics cards with NBA 2K27, but support for RTX 40 series cards is planned after further optimization.
- Nvidia is currently focused on enhancing DLSS 5 performance for the RTX 50 series, with model updates expected later in the fall before expanding support to the RTX 40 series.
- Initial testing on an RTX 5090 showed that DLSS 5 improves visual quality subtly but causes a significant 43% drop in frame rates, raising concerns about performance on older RTX 40 series GPUs.
- Nvidia has made substantial progress since March, improving model performance by approximately 5x, but significant performance costs remain, leading to skepticism about DLSS 5's practicality on less powerful hardware.
