NVIDIA's controversial DLSS 5 is coming to RTX Remix to 'enhance' older games
The NVIDIA modding platform lets you remaster classic games with modern graphics, and now DLSS 5 is included.
NVIDIA's latest graphics technology, DLSS 5, is set to debut on RTX Remix, a platform for enhancing older games with modern graphics. The tech has faced backlash from the gaming community, who feel it alters the original artistic vision of games. Despite this, NVIDIA remains committed to promoting AI/occasional GPU innovations. RTX Remix has been free since early 2024, allowing users to add ray tracing and AI-upscaled textures to older titles.
DLSS 5 is set to launch on October 23, and October 16, it will be integrated into RTX Spark, NVIDIA's new SoC. The technology, which alters character lighting, is expected to be officially added to Hogwarts Legacy on November 5. Although DLSS 5 negatively impacts frame rates, community-built apps allow users to inject the tech into almost any PC game with an NVIDIA RTX GPU. However, the performance hit and potential issues with anti-cheat software are major concerns.
