Gamers Attempt DLSS 5 On GTA VI Console

While Grand Theft Auto VI remains a console exclusive this month, gamers are experimenting with ways to bring PC graphics technology to the title. On an unmoderated GTAVI subreddit, user Revolutionary Bus8208 proposed running a PlayStation 5 through a 4K capture card to a PC. The video signal passes through Veyra, an open-source tool that applies Nvidia's DLSS 5 AI-powered "neural rendering" to upscale the 30 fps source to 90 fps output.

A demonstration using the GTA VI Extended Look trailer shows sharper background elements and subtler shadows, but the upscaled version appears washed out compared to the original's deeper blacks and suffers from an unnaturally smooth "soap opera effect." Although the setup causes occasional graphical artifacts and glitches from the frame generation process, it serves as an interesting proof of concept demonstrating how far DLSS 5 has come from early Internet memes. The experiment highlights the lengths enthusiasts will go to modify console exclusives, even when the results are mixed.
