Nvidia Launches Controversial DLSS 5 for RTX 50-Series GPUs

Nvidia is officially launching DLSS 5 on September 3rd, targeting RTX 50-series desktop and laptop GPUs as well as GeForce Now cloud gaming. The technology, which Nvidia describes as its most significant graphics breakthrough since 2018's real-time ray tracing, uses AI to enhance game visuals based on source content. Currently, NBA 2K27 is the only game supporting the tech at launch, arriving September 3rd at 9PM PT on PC. Despite Nvidia's claims of providing developers with greater control, the technology has been divisive. Early examples were criticized for significantly altering character appearances, such as the protagonist in Resident Evil Requiem. Other previously mentioned titles, including Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, and EA Sports FC, do not yet support DLSS 5, and Nvidia has not confirmed when the tech will expand to other titles.
