NVIDIA confirms DLSS 5 support for RTX 40 series

NVIDIA confirmed that DLSS 5 support will come to the RTX 40 series after the RTX 50 series. Here are all the details about the new generation artificial intelligence technology and optimization process.

NVIDIA confirmed that it has introduced the highly anticipated new generation DLSS 5 technology first for RTX 50 series graphics cards. The company announced that after completing the model optimization processes on new cards with Blackwell architecture, it will expand this artificial intelligence-based technology to RTX 40 series graphics cards.

DLSS 5, which made its debut with the NBA 2K27 game and uses the 3D-Guided Neural Rendering method, is currently the artificial intelligence model that requires the highest computing power. NVIDIA emphasizes that the model needs to be made more efficient for RTX 40 users to benefit from this advanced visual experience.

Optimization Processes Continue for RTX 50 Series

According to the information shared by NVIDIA, while DLSS 5 technology was initially only able to work on a dual RTX 5090 configuration, it has now been able to work on a single RTX 5090 thanks to the software and core optimizations carried out in the last two months. This development was achieved through a combination of hardware, software core and common design strategies. The bulky model, first exhibited at GTC 2026, has now turned into a much smaller, faster and more visually realistic structure.

The Wait Continues for the RTX 40 Series

Although there is currently no definitive date for RTX 40 series owners to access DLSS 5, NVIDIA's model tuning history looks promising.

Since the RTX 40 series does not have MFG (Multi-Frame Generation) support, a serious performance improvement is required in order for the model to work efficiently on these cards. NVIDIA stated that it will start official support work for the RTX 40 series, which has the Ada Lovelace architecture, once the performance settings in the RTX 50 series are fully established.

Future Updates Will Improve Performance

NVIDIA states that optimizations on DLSS 5 will continue unabated. With the new updates expected in the coming months, the performance of the model is planned to be 7 to 10 times more efficient compared to the day it was first introduced.

If this goal is achieved, players will be able to benefit from the advantages of DLSS 5 without losing high performance. Whether these improvements will open a door for older RTX 30 series cards is being followed with curiosity in the technology world. The fact that it has been tested even on the RTX 20 series through unofficial modes shows that the technology has a very high potential to reach a wide audience.
