NVIDIA Confirms DLSS 5 Will Be Available Starting 3 September

NVIDIA has officially confirmed that the next-generation AI upscaling technology, DLSS 5, will become available starting September 3rd. This development puts an end to the rumors and leaks that have circulated regarding the new technology since it was first discovered in an early-access version of NBA 2K27 via a DLL file. DLSS 5 introduces a Neural Rendering upscaling engine, which allows developers to adjust the level of detail for various aspects within a game.

Depending on the intensity, this can either enhance or soften the overall realism of the game. When utilized with a RTX 5090 at 4K, DLSS 5 using Multiframe Generation at 6x can maintain an average of more than 300 fps for NBA 2K27, and nearly 600 fps at 1440p. For the RTX 5070 with Full HD, the same settings result in an average of 385 fps.

The modding community, RenoDX, has tested the next-generation AI upscaler on numerous titles, though performance drops occur on older generation RTX GPUs when Neural Rendering is enabled. NVIDIA has not yet specified which other games will support DLSS 5, but future titles like The Witcher IV and current releases such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Resident Evil Requiem are believed to be on the waiting list.

In the interim, gamers will need to continue using DLSS 4.5, which is set to launch alongside several games including 007: First Light and Control Resonant, the sequel to the 2019 title Control.
