Leaked DLSS 5 runs in Control, shows performance hit on RTX 5070 Ti

A leaked version of Nvidia's upcoming DLSS 5 neural rendering technology has been successfully integrated into the game Control by modders. This early implementation, reportedly requiring Blackwell GPUs, showed a significant performance drop on an RTX 5070 Ti, reducing frame rates from 71 to 35 FPS at 4K. While the modders' work provides a glimpse into DLSS 5's capabilities, including enhanced lighting and shadows, the performance impact and hardware requirements are not yet representative of the final product, which is slated for release this fall.
