GeForce RTX 3080 Drops From 138 FPS to 4 FPS When DLSS 5 Neural Rendering is Enabled; Reports Confirm Similar Performance Drop With RTX 30 Series
Wccftech • • technology
Key Points:
- DLSS 5 Neural Rendering has been confirmed to run on older RTX 30 series GPUs, such as the GeForce RTX 3080, through unofficial modding efforts.
- Despite running on these older GPUs, enabling DLSS 5 causes a drastic performance drop, with FPS plummeting by up to 97%, making gameplay nearly unplayable.
- The performance impact on RTX 30 series GPUs is significantly worse compared to the 40-50% hit observed on newer RTX 40 and 50 series cards.
- Currently, DLSS 5 Neural Rendering is officially planned only for the RTX 50 series, with no confirmation from NVIDIA about support for RTX 20, 30, or 40 series GPUs.
- NVIDIA has introduced DLSS 4.5 for older GPUs, but the availability of DLSS 5 for these cards remains uncertain.
