NVIDIA To Officially Bring DLSS 5 To RTX 40-Series GPUs

NVIDIA has announced plans to bring its cutting-edge AI-driven graphics technology, DLSS 5, to its existing RTX 40-series graphics cards. This announcement comes after initial claims that DLSS 5 would only be available on NVIDIA's newest RTX 50-series GPUs. While the tech is currently only available on one game, NBA 2K27, modders have successfully implemented it on RTX 40-series cards, and potentially older models, across a wide range of games.

NVIDIA spokesperson, Rajal Maharaj, stated that the company's primary focus is currently optimizing performance for the RTX 50-series, with updates expected later this fall. Once this optimization is more fully tuned, NVIDIA plans to expand official support to the RTX 40-series. The company reiterated that gamers will only have the option of enabling or disabling DLSS 5, with more granular artistic controls reserved for developers.

Despite modders having extensive control over the technology, NVIDIA emphasized that these controls could be made available to gamers through developers' settings menus. NVIDIA previously showcased DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 with multiple games, including Resident Evil Requiem, but the company has not confirmed if these initial titles will feature the technology.

The company mentioned that more games with DLSS 5 integration are on the way and that developers are actively working on integrating the technology.
