Nvidia Tones Down DLSS 5 for Upcoming Game Launches
Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology, initially criticized for its dramatic and unrealistic visual changes in games like Hogwarts Legacy and Resident Evil Requiem, has been significantly toned down ahead of its official debut. The updated version will appear in Hogwarts Legacy on November 5th and Where Winds Meet later the same month. New comparison screenshots show more subtle facial and environmental enhancements similar to those seen in NBA 2K27. Nvidia is also improving DLSS 5's performance with an October update that reduces its computational footprint by 24% and VRAM usage by 20%. This optimization will benefit RTX 50-series GPUs and upcoming RTX Spark laptops. The updated model will first appear in NBA 2K27 on October 16th before being rolled out to future DLSS 5 games. Additionally, Nvidia has released a new beta version of its app with performance enhancements for Frame Generation technologies across both RTX 40- and 50-series GPUs. The faster algorithm offers up to 35% improved frame rates but comes with minor trade-offs in image quality.
