PC gamers are testing out DLSS 5 graphics on games like GTA: San Andreas and Skyrim, and the results are realistic but uncanny.

The short version

  • PC gamers are testing out DLSS 5 on games like GTA: San Andreas and Skyrim Nvidia's controversial upscaling tech, DLSS 5 , hasn't officially been released for its RTX 50-series computer chips.
  • Files for the real-time neural rendering model were recently discovered in an early access build of N BA 2K27, so naturally, people raced to get it working.
  • Based on fan uploads, the apparent latest iteration of DLSS 5 is a definite improvement over the earlier iteration's tendency to yassify every pixel.

What happened

Some games, however, just can't shake DLSS 5's uncanny valley effect. Months later, DLSS 5 is accidentally back in the limelight.

Why it matters

This time, however, Nvidia can't curate the footage of DLSS 5.
