Why It Matters
DLSS 5 is NVIDIA's artificial intelligence-supported image processing technology. The technology, which initially required two RTX 5090 cards, was reduced to a single card with optimizations.
DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering technology, which NVIDIA announced in March, was working with two GeForce RTX 5090 graphics cards when it was first introduced. With optimizations and improvements in the artificial neural network model over the last seven months, the technology can now run on a single graphics card. In this process, performance increased up to 10 times and image quality was also improved.
DLSS 5; It can be used on all GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, RTX Spark devices and GeForce NOW Ultimate members via the cloud. The technology was added to NBA 2K27 in September and Hogwarts Legacy last week. Now it's War Thunder. Where Winds Meet will receive DLSS 5 support on November 23.
These games use the artificial intelligence model, which was released in October and works twice as fast as the previous version. NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX and RTX Spark Game Ready driver also brings optimizations for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War IV and adds DLSS 5 support to Where Winds Meet.
War Thunder has been updated regularly since 2013; DLSS 4.5 already supported technologies such as Multi Frame Generation, Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, DLAA, Reflex, ray tracing and path tracing-based global illumination. DLSS 5 support was also made available with the game's Eagle's Shadow update. The update includes dozens of new planes, ships and tanks, as well as cluster bombs and improved visual effects for planes.
Gaijin Entertainment, the developer of the game, states that it has improved brightness and light details, shadows and micro contrast with the technology. Even at Ultra graphics settings with path tracing, players can play at high frame rates with support for Ray Reconstruction and up to 6x Multi Frame Generation.
When the Neural Rendering option is turned on in Hogwarts Legacy, environmental details and shadows are enhanced, character texture details are improved, lighting becomes more sensitive, and reflections become more vivid. With this update, the game supports all NVIDIA's DLSS technologies.
When DLSS 5, Ray Reconstruction, 6x Multi Frame Generation, Reflex and ray tracing are turned on together, Hogwarts Legacy reaches up to 300 FPS at 4K resolution on the GeForce RTX 5090. The November schedule of DLSS 5 was previously announced.
NVIDIA is also celebrating the 20th anniversary of the GeForce 8800 GTX, which was released on November 8, 2006. The Steam demo called GeForce 8800 GTX - 20 Years of a Legend, prepared by Unreal Engine artist Dylan Browne, takes players back to 2006 and relives the experience of installing the legendary card on a computer compatible with the hardware of the period.
