TechPowerUp • • general
Key Points:
- NVIDIA has confirmed plans to bring DLSS 5 support to the GeForce RTX 40 Series, but only after the RTX 50 Series performance is fully tuned, with no exact timeline provided.
- Community feedback highlights concerns about DLSS 5's heavy performance demands, especially on the RTX 40 Series and older GPUs, with some users skeptical about its practicality and power consumption.
- Discussions reveal that DLSS 5 relies on hardware features like FP8 and potentially FP4 precision, which may limit backward compatibility with older GPU architectures such as Ampere (RTX 3000 Series).
- Some users praise NVIDIA for supporting older hardware with advanced upscaling technologies, while others criticize the company for potential performance throttling to encourage new GPU purchases.
- The debate around DLSS 5 includes concerns over hardware stress, such as power connector overheating on high-end cards like the RTX 5090, and skepticism about the feature's real-world benefits versus marketing claims.
