  "account": "Nvidia has announced that its AI-powered DLSS 5 technology, which utilizes neural rendering for gaming, has doubled its performance compared to the current model. This marks a 10x improvement in performance since March. The enhanced model is also more efficient, using up to 20% less VRAM. Nvidia credits systematic pipeline optimizations and neural model refinements for the performance boost. The latest update, released in October, reduces the size of the DLSS 5 model by nearly a quarter to 118 million parameters and cuts VRAM usage at 4K by 20%. Consequently, the GPU overhead has been halved compared to the September model, potentially boosting frame rates by up to 1.4x. The new and faster DLSS 5 model will be introduced in NBA 2K27 on October 16. Nvidia plans to support this technology on RTX 50-series GPUs, GeForce NOW, and the RTX Spark lineup. Additionally, the company has introduced a new faster Performance Mode for Frame Generation on RTX 50, 40 series GPUs, and RTX Spark laptops. The new Preset C mode replaces the previous AI model used for calculating optical flow, boosting DLSS Frame Generation, MFG, and Dynamic MFG. This change results in a 35% improvement in speed on the RTX 5060.",
