Nvidia's DLSS 5 to Launch September 3rd, Requires New GPUs
Nvidia will officially release its DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology on September 3rd. The feature requires new GPUs and will be available in the upcoming NBA 2K27 game.
Nvidia is set to officially launch its DLSS 5 technology on September 3rd. The AI-powered upscaling feature, which previously drew criticism upon its announcement, is primarily targeted at RTX 50-series GPUs and the GeForce Now cloud gaming service.
The company has described DLSS 5 as its "most significant breakthrough in computer graphics since the debut of real-time ray tracing in 2018." However, critics have raised concerns regarding its potential impact on image quality and performance, particularly its resemblance to real-time generative AI filters and motion smoothing technologies.
NBA 2K27 is slated to be the first game to feature DLSS 5. The game is scheduled for release on PC on the same day, September 3rd. The broader adoption of DLSS 5 across other games and hardware configurations remains to be seen following its initial release.
