Nvidia is set to release DLSS 5 on September 3rd, primarily for NBA 2K27 and compatible with RTX 50-series GPUs. This AI upscaling technology aims to enhance game realism, although initial demonstrations faced criticism for altering character appearances significantly. Developers will have control over the extent of changes in their games.
While DLSS 5 can be run on midrange RTX 5060 cards, it comes with a substantial performance cost, estimated at 50 to 60 percent. The technology's broader implementation in other titles remains uncertain as Nvidia has not confirmed additional game support.
