In brief: Nvidia DLSS 5 slashed NBA 2K27's frame rates by at least 60% when it launched in September. An update scheduled for this week aims to substantially reduce the neural rendering feature's performance and VRAM overhead. Later this year, DLSS 5 will also support RTX Spark-equipped PCs, Hogwarts Legacy, Where Winds Meet, and classic games through RTX Remix.

NBA 2K27 will receive an update this Friday that aims to make DLSS 5 twice as fast, increasing overall frame rates by up to 40% while maintaining similar visual quality. Future titles that receive official DLSS 5 support, starting later this year, will use the new, faster model by default.

Nvidia claims to have doubled rendering performance and reduced VRAM usage at 4K by 20% through neural model refinements and system-level pipeline optimizations.
