   Nvidia's October DLSS 5 model runs much faster, but image-quality issues remain

   Nvidia has released a new October version of its DLSS 5 neural rendering model, saying the update cuts the model's parameters by 24%, halves execution time and reduces VRAM usage by 20% while keeping image quality broadly comparable. TechSpot tested it in NBA 2K27, again the first game to officially ship with the latest model, and measured average render-time gains of about 83% at 4K and 94% at 1440p across the RTX 50 lineup — substantial but short of Nvidia's claim of running twice as fast, with TechSpot noting the speedup applies to DLSS 5's own rendering cost rather than overall frame rates. TechSpot said performance, not visual quality, was the focus of this release, and that artifacts and image-quality issues from the original launch remain.

   Nvidia's October DLSS 5 update doubles model speed, cuts 4K VRAM use by 20%

   Nvidia announced an October update to its DLSS 5 neural-rendering model that it says is twice as fast as the current version, a roughly 10x gain since the technology was first shown in March. The company says the model is 24% smaller at about 118 million parameters and uses 20% less VRAM at 4K, halving GPU overhead versus the September release at comparable visual fidelity. Nvidia claims frame-rate gains of up to 1.4x, while TechRadar cites its NBA 2K27 testing showing 30% to 40% improvements. The new model debuts in NBA 2K27 on October 16 and runs on RTX 50-series GPUs, RTX Spark laptops and GeForce NOW; Hogwarts Legacy gets support on November 5, with Where Winds Meet described as coming in the near future. Nvidia also introduced a faster Frame Generation performance mode called Preset C, which replaces the AI model used for optical flow with a lighter algorithm and is claimed to be up to 35% faster on the RTX 5060, though Nvidia acknowledges minor image-quality trade-offs and TechRadar reports some users see added glitching. The Verge notes that DLSS 5's facial changes in Hogwarts Legacy appear far more subtle than in the March preview.
