"Unsettling" – Nvidia’s controversial DLSS 5 AI filter has leaked, and gamers are horrified
Final Fantasy 7's Cloud looks like Scarlett Johansson in a Mötley Crüe wig.
Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering technology, controversial for its "yassification" filter, appears to have been activated ahead of its release. Modders have discovered the necessary files to enable this feature in Control, specifically in the NBA 2K27 PC early access version. The library nvngx_dlssnr.dll contains runtime files for DLSS 5's neural rendering, which modding community members have managed to activate in the game.
However, the current implementation is reportedly unusable, as it only affects character models, fails to utilize HDR, and severely impacts performance even on a powerful RTX 5070 Ti graphics card. The modders could switch between seven styles of the yassification filter, but Nvidia's full release version is unlikely to be this clunky.
The modding experiment has, however, provided valuable insights into DLSS 5's functionality and the potential compatibility with games running on Unreal Engine 5.
