NVIDIA is rolling out DLSS 5 to three new titles this month, starting with Hogwarts Legacy on November 5, followed by War Thunder in mid‑November and Where Winds Meet on November 23. DLSS 5 uses 3D‑Guided Neural Rendering to boost lighting, shadows and material detail without extra modeling. The technology offers developers fine‑tuned controls via AI models, intensity settings and semantic masking, preserving artistic direction.
Hogwarts Legacy’s update improves environmental detail, lighting, shadows, reflections and character materials; War Thunder gains enhanced lighting and material effects across ground, naval and aerial combat; Where Winds Meet leverages DLSS 5 for its Wuxia‑inspired open world. NVIDIA’s latest DLSS 5 model reduces footprint by 24% (≈118 M parameters), cuts 4K VRAM use by 20% and delivers up to 2× higher performance, enabling single‑GPU implementation. Benchmarks show Hogwarts Legacy can hit 300 FPS at 4K on an RTX 5090 with DLSS 5, Ray Reconstruction and 6× Multi Frame Generation, while War Thunder reaches 400 FPS.
Additional titles like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, GRAVHOUNDS and Hunting Simulator 3 receive DLSS 4.5 or Super Resolution updates, and NVIDIA released an updated DLSS 4.5 Unreal Engine plugin.
