DLSS 5 Will Be Coming to Older Graphics Cards After All
On Nvidia's forums, an Nvidia employee claimed that the company will be expanding DLSS 5 support to RTX 40 series graphics cards at some point, but we're probably going to be waiting a while for it.
Nvidia unveiled its DLSS 5 neural rendering technology in NBA 2K27, but it is currently only compatible with the latest RTX 5000 graphics cards. An Nvidia employee stated on the company's forums that the technology will eventually be supported on RTX 40 series graphics cards, though it likely won't be for some time. The focus now is on optimizing performance for the RTX 50 Series, with updates expected later this fall.
The technology had a significant impact on performance in NBA 2K27, even on the most powerful graphics card tested, the RTX 5090, causing a 43% performance drop from 57-60 fps to around 37 fps. While Nvidia claims to have improved model performance by around 5x since the technology's initial reveal in March, skepticism remains until actual performance improvements are observed.
