Official DLSS 5 running on unsupported games delivers up to 90% better performance than the leaked version
Nvidia's latest DLSS Neural Renderer, extracted from NBA 2K27 (again), is being tested on unsupported games and shows up to a 90% performance gain over the previous NR model.
Nvidia's latest DLSS 5 version, released alongside NBA 2K27, has been extracted and tested on unsupported games by modders. The new Neural Rendering (NR) model shows up to 40% improvement over its predecessor, while some games like The Witcher 3 demonstrate up to 90% better performance with the updated NR model. DLSS NR is resource-intensive, requiring less VRAM and processing neural rendering workloads up to 2x faster.
Nvidia achieved this by reducing the AI model size by 24% and VRAM usage by 20% at 4K. The modding community shared a video showcasing the new DLSS 5 model's performance improvements in The Witcher 3, compared to the older version. DLSS 5 can be run on older RTX GPUs with modifications, as Nvidia plans to officially release it to RTX 40-series GPUs soon.
