NVIDIA Confirms DLSS 5 Support Extends To RTX 40 GPUs, But First Focusing On Model Optimization on RTX 50 Series
NVIDIA has confirmed that its DLSS 5 technology will eventually support RTX 40 series GPUs after initial optimization for the RTX 50 series. The company has achieved significant performance gains in the AI model, allowing it to run more efficiently on current hardware.

Highlights the rapid evolution of AI-driven neural rendering and the hardware requirements for next-generation gaming performance.
NVIDIA DLSS 5 is going to be released on older RTX 40 GPUs and will be available once the model is fully tuned on RTX 50 series.
This week, NVIDIA finally launches its DLSS 5 technology, with NBA 2K27 being the first game to offer support for 3D-Guided Neural Rendering. While the initial support is aimed at RTX 50 GPUs based on the Blackwell architecture, NVIDIA is confirming that they plan to extend support to RTX 40 GPUs too, based on the Ada Lovelace architecture.
DLSS 5 is our most computationally demanding model to date. Since we initially announced it in March, we’ve achieved a 5X performance gain and there’s more to come.
