Modders achieve up to 90% performance boost with DLSS 5 on unsupported games

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Modders have successfully implemented Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology in games not officially supported by the new version, achieving performance gains of up to 90% compared to previous leaked versions. Nvidia has optimized the new Neural Rendering (NR) model to be more efficient, using 20% less VRAM and processing neural workloads up to twice as fast, despite its smaller size. This advancement allows for better performance on existing hardware, including older GeForce RTX 20-series GPUs, through community modifications. AI

IMPACT Improved efficiency in AI rendering models could lead to broader adoption and better performance on consumer hardware.

RANK_REASON The cluster discusses the application of a released technology (DLSS 5) to unsupported games by third-party modders, rather than an official release or new capability from the developer.
