Modders are trying out an unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 on Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, and a bunch of other games after code for the AI upscaling tech appeared in an early-access build of NBA 2K27. Members of the RenoDX modding channel on Discord reportedly found a way to extract the DLSS 'Neural Rendering' file and apply it to Control before it expanded to other games.
DLSS 5 represents Nvidia's latest advancement in AI-powered graphics upscaling. The technology uses neural networks to enhance image quality while maintaining performance, and the leaked version gives modders an early look at capabilities that haven't been officially released yet.
Videos show the technology dramatically improving facial detail and lighting in games like Control, with users able to tweak various DLSS 5 settings to achieve different visual effects. The modding community's quick adoption demonstrates the strong demand for next-generation graphics enhancements.
The leak comes before Nvidia has officially announced DLSS 5, raising questions about the company's release timeline. However, it also showcases the technology's capabilities and builds anticipation for the official launch.
