NVIDIA is rolling out an updated DLSS 5 architecture that doubles the speed of its neural rendering model for supported games. The refresh brings enhanced lighting reconstruction to Hogwarts Legacy and RTX Spark laptops, while cutting memory demand across the board. Gamers can test early performance gains through an updated beta version of the NVIDIA app.
NVIDIA streamlined the 3D Guided Neural Rendering pipeline to run 2X faster than previous releases. The updated model reduces the parameter count by 24% down to roughly 118 million parameters, while trimming 4K video memory requirements by 20%. These optimizations cut graphics processor overhead in half while matching original visual fidelity. NBA 2K27 will debut the faster profile with frame rate gains reaching up to 1.4X on GeForce RTX 50 series hardware.
The upgraded neural rendering system arrives in Hogwarts Legacy in the coming weeks, targeting GeForce RTX 50 series hardware and RTX Spark laptops. Developers at Avalanche Software tuned the toolset to maintain the intended artistic atmosphere while generating realistic illumination and surface textures. Where Winds Meet will also adopt the neural rendering tools shortly after, adding sharper character and environment details to the open world action title.
A new Frame Generation Performance Mode is now accessible in beta form under Preset C within the NVIDIA app driver settings. This alternative mode swaps out optical flow calculation algorithms for a lighter script, yielding frame rate increases of up to 35% on hardware like the GeForce RTX 5060. Modders will gain access to these same neural rendering capabilities through an upcoming update to RTX Remix, enabling sharper materials and refined path tracing for remastered titles.
