Nvidia Rolls Out Faster DLSS 5 Model Ahead of Major Game Launches

Nvidia announced on October 5 that its DLSS 5 neural-rendering technology has been revised with a new AI model that is “two times faster” than the version shown earlier in the year. The update is positioned to debut in NBA 2K27 on October 16 and to be enabled in Hogwarts Legacy on November 5, with additional support slated for the upcoming title *Where Winds Meet* later in the year. Nvidia also highlighted a new performance mode for Frame Generation that will be available on RTX 40-, RTX 50-series GPUs and RTX Spark laptops.

Nvidia’s communications emphasize that developers retain “detailed artistic control” over how DLSS 5 is applied, allowing studios to balance visual fidelity with performance. The company also noted that the new “Preset C” algorithm replaces the previous optical-flow model, delivering the cited speed improvements for Frame Generation, Multi-Frame Generation, and Dynamic Multi-Frame Generation.
