Nvidia hasn’t yet announced a release date for DLSS 5, which it revealed to widespread backlash earlier this year. But a recent leak has provided PC modders the ability to inject the neural rendering in almost any game, which is being used to showcase just how awful its AI-powered face filters can get.
Accidentally included in a build of NBA 2K27 (via VideoCardz), an early version of DLSS 5 was accessed and made useable by the RenoDX modding community, who quickly developed a crude toolset allowing anyone to use the suite across a variety of games. These ranged from extensive tests on Control, Cyberpunk 2077, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and even Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, each showcasing some of the benefits and the many, many drawbacks of the heavily AI-reliant post-processing that Nvidia plans to introduce.
