Nvidia has launched DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, the only supported game for now, with official support limited to RTX 50-series GPUs. The rendering system combines training and game-engine data to infer lighting and shadows while scanned player models remain the base geometry. Nvidia said it plans to expand official support to RTX 40-series hardware after further tuning. The source reported Nvidia's 4K performance figure uses six-times multi-frame generation and 1080p upscaling.
