NVIDIA's faster DLSS 5 Neural Rendering model, shipped with NBA 2K27 on October 16, has been extracted by modders and tested in unsupported titles. Renan Maniero on X pulled the 310.9.16.0 DLL build, enabling injection via tools like RenoDX and OptiScaler. The new model (Preset B) runs up to 90% faster than the old version (Preset A) in The Witcher 3, though gains vary by game.
NVIDIA claims the update shrinks the model by 24% to ~118 million parameters, cuts 4K VRAM use by 20%, and doubles neural rendering speed versus September’s version. Officially, DLSS 5 is limited to RTX 50-series and GeForce NOW, with RTX 40-series support planned but undated. Modders have already enabled it on RTX 20-series cards via modified runtimes.
