The testing involved a comparison of the RTX 5090 Founders Edition and an RTX 5090 with dual power connectors, revealing the truth. Using Dual Connector RTX 5090 Reportedly Reduces the Impact of DLSS 5 Neural Rendering, as RTX 5090 With Single 16-pin Connector Struggles at Full Power NVIDIA's latest DLSS 5 Neural Rendering brings down performance significantly, and even high-end GPUs like the RTX 5090 appear to struggle to maintain FPS in triple digits. DLSS 5 is surely demanding, but it appears that the real bottleneck might not be the actual hardware, but the amount of power it can draw. […]

The leaked DLSS 5 Neural Rendering implementation continues to expand well beyond NVIDIA's officially announced scope, with modders now targeting older RTX GPUs, games without native DLSS implementations, older graphics APIs, and even emulators. It has only been a few days since NVIDIA's experimental DLSS 5 Neural Rendering runtime leaked through NBA 2K27, but the PC modding community has already made remarkable progress in getting the technology running where it was never intended to. After initially bringing DLSS 5 to RTX 40 Series GPUs, enthusiasts have now enabled it on the older GeForce RTX 30 and even RTX 20 Series, […]

NVIDIA's DLSS 5 marks a major shift for the company's AI-powered graphics technologies, using Neural Rendering to enhance lighting, materials, skin, hair, and other visual elements in real time. NVIDIA is positioning it as a “significant step” toward more photorealistic game graphics, while still giving developers and artists control over how the effect is applied. Although DLSS 5 isn't officially available in games yet, PC gaming enthusiasts have already managed to get an early and unofficial version working. An experimental runtime library shipped with the early access PC build of NBA 2K27, and members of the RenoDX Discord server quickly […]

This week, Roblox Corporation has unveiled Roblox Reality, an ambitious project that aims to deliver a DLSS 5-like AI powered model to level up the visuals available in the popular game creation platform. In the announcement blog post, Senior Vice President of Engineering Anupam Singh described Roblox Reality as a hybrid architecture that splits responsibilities between two components: the existing Roblox Game Engine (running on cloud servers), which handles all authoritative game logic like physics, collision, state synchronization, and player positions, while a new Video World Model (called "Super Upsampler") runs on edge infrastructure powered by H200/B200-class GPUs and handles the visual output, generating […]

At GDC 2026, Intel graphics engineer Marissa du Bois took the stage to present Intel's version of neural texture compression, very similar to NVIDIA's NTC in that both technologies are deterministic. The presentation was a follow-up to the original R&D prototype shown at GDC 2025, with the key news being that Intel has now productized that research into a standalone SDK. Texture Set Neural Compression (TSNC) is essentially a smarter way to store game textures. Traditional GPU block compression formats (BC1 through BC7) use fixed mathematical rules to reduce texture size, and while they're fast and universally supported, they leave […]

During a GTC 2026 session titled "Introduction to Neural Rendering," NVIDIA showcased its Neural Texture Compression (NTC) technique once again. Neural Texture Compression was showcased for the first time nearly three years ago and has been available via an SDK since early 2026, but so far, no game developers have used it. Perhaps that is why NVIDIA has once again taken the chance to explain its potential benefits. Senior DevTech Engineer Alexey Bekin described Neural Texture Compression as a machine learning approach for storing textures more efficiently. Instead of storing every texel directly, NTC compresses the texture into compact learned latent […]

Nobody, except for a very select few who had already checked out a demo, was expecting NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang to unveil DLSS 5 during his GTC 2026 keynote last week. NVIDIA had already countered AMD's FSR Redstone at CES 2026, where it announced and released a second-generation transformer model for its Super Resolution upscaler, which adopted the DLSS 4.5 label and was quickly judged the best upscaler available. Two months later, they stunned the world - for better or worse - with a new version of DLSS that did not focus on improving frame rates or ray tracing performance, […]

To say that the reveal of NVIDIA DLSS 5 at GTC 2026 sparked a controversy on social media would be the understatement of the year. Despite strong praise from veteran tech journalists who experienced the in-person demo, such as Digital Foundry and Ryan Shrout, and the reassurance from both NVIDIA and game studios like Bethesda that the (work-in-progress) tech is fully under developer control and optional anyway, the vocal anti-AI crowd hasn't stopped condemning NVIDIA's newest DLSS addition for being "just an AI filter" and "disrespectful of the developer's original design". However, DLSS 5 also has its proponents, including veteran […]

NVIDIA has shared more information on how DLSS 5 works, the GPUs that will support it, and how it honors the original artist's intent. NVIDIA's Revolutionary DLSS 5 Tech Will Not Compromise Artists' Vision, GeForce Team Shares More Info on Hardware Support & More A few hours ago, NVIDIA unveiled its groundbreaking and disruptive new technology called DLSS 5, which leverages Neural Rendering to achieve unforeseen levels of visual fidelity uplift. While the initial unveil has all of us left shocked, there are a few who have raised some valid questions based on the comparisons, as the scenes presented with […]

At GTC this week, Nvidia has announced DLSS 5, the next major evolution of its AI‑powered rendering technology. The company says the update marks a shift toward real‑time neural rendering, aiming to push game visuals closer to cinematic lighting and material detail. Better yet, DLSS 5 will be launching later this year.

DLSS 5 introduces a new AI model that analyses colour and motion vectors in each frame, then reconstructs lighting, materials and fine detail with greater accuracy. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang described the moment as a major turning point for graphics, saying: “Twenty‑five years after NVIDIA invented the programmable shader, we are reinventing computer graphics once again. DLSS 5 is the GPT moment for graphics”.

The model has been trained to understand scene semantics such as characters, hair, fabric, skin translucency and environmental lighting. Nvidia says this allows DLSS 5 to generate deterministic, consistent frames suitable for interactive play, running in real time at up to 4K. Integration uses the existing Streamline framework shared by DLSS and Reflex.

In the comparison image above, you can get a preview of what DLSS 5 is capable of in Resident Evil Requiem, having a rather stark effect on the Grace character model.

Game developers will also gain new creative controls, including intensity, colour grading and masking options. So while AI will be doing some heavier lifting on the graphics and visuals, the developers themselves will still have sliders and toggles to control the impact of the effects and where they show up to avoid overriding the original art director's vision.

Early partners are already testing the tech. Bethesda’s Todd Howard said: “When NVIDIA showed us DLSS 5 and we got it running in Starfield, it was amazing how it brought it to life. We’ve played it. We can’t wait for all of you to do so as well.”

Capcom’s Jun Takeuchi highlighted similar benefits for atmospheric titles, saying: “DLSS 5 represents another important step in pushing visual fidelity forward, helping players become even more immersed in the world of Resident Evil.”

DLSS 5 will be supported by major publishers including Bethesda, Capcom, Ubisoft, Tencent and WB Games. Confirmed titles include Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Phantom Blade Zero, Resident Evil Requiem, Starfield, Oblivion Remastered, Hogwarts Legacy and there are still more to be announced.

KitGuru Says: Typically, Nvidia ushers in a new major DLSS revision alongside a new generation of GeForce graphics cards. This time though, it looks like DLSS 5 will be coming to current-generation GPUs.
