DLSS 5 Can Slash Frame Rates by Up to 73% on RTX 5080 in NBA 2K27

DLSS 5 may be Nvidia's most ambitious AI-rendering leap yet, but early testing in NBA 2K27 reveals a punishing cost. According to PC Gamer, enabling DLSS 5 on an RTX 5080 gaming PC can reduce frame rates by as much as 73%, raising serious questions about what kind of hardware would actually be needed to run the feature without taking a significant performance hit. The findings suggest that, at least in NBA 2K27, the AI-enhanced visuals come at a steep price that even one of Nvidia's most powerful consumer GPUs struggles to absorb.

Nvidia DLSS 5 Launches via NBA 2K27 With a 50–60% Performance Cost

Nvidia's long-anticipated and already-controversial DLSS 5 is making its official debut this week through NBA 2K27, giving owners of 50 Series GPUs and GeForce NOW subscribers their first taste of the company's next-generation neural rendering technology. Promising "Hollywood-grade photorealism" and AI-generated imagery designed to overhaul how lighting and materials look in games, DLSS 5 has been pitched as a transformative leap rather than just another upscaling trick. The technology had already stirred up buzz after modders prematurely extracted it from game files late last week, but its arrival in a shipping title marks the real starting gun.

Nvidia DLSS 5's AI Filter Leaks Early, and the Internet Is Already Having a Field Day

Nvidia's DLSS 5, the next generation of the company's deep learning super sampling technology, has leaked ahead of its official release after modders dug the necessary files out of NBA 2K27. The feature at the center of the controversy is DLSS 5's neural rendering AI filter, which was already widely criticized earlier this year for its tendency to over-smooth and "yassify" in-game visuals, giving characters and environments an uncanny, heavily processed look. Now that the tech is out in the wild, players and modders have wasted no time injecting it into virtually every game they can get their hands on, producing a wave of reactions ranging from fascinated to genuinely unsettled.
