Modders have already adapted Nvidia’s unreleased DLSS 5 technology to work on older RTX 20 and 30 series graphics cards, according to nordichardware.se. The same community effort has also extended the upscaling feature to emulators, the Swedish outlet reports.
The news follows Nvidia’s announcement of DLSS 5, which has drawn mixed reactions from reviewers. According to fz.se, the company’s latest upscaling iteration is impressive but also leaves some observers uncertain. The technology has also appeared in real-world testing before its official launch, as noted by Vietnam.vn.
Sweclockers.com adds that diligent modders have been actively enabling DLSS 5 on hardware that Nvidia did not officially target. This includes the Turing-based RTX 20 series and the Ampere-based RTX 30 series, both of which are several generations old. The modifications reportedly allow these older cards to take advantage of the new neural rendering features that DLSS 5 introduces.
