Nvidia's next-generation AI rendering technology, 'DLSS 5,' which is at the center of attention, was officially scheduled to be released with only one supported game and Nvidia's latest RTX 50 series GPUs, maintaining the artistic vision intended by the developers.
However, unofficially, modders have already ported leaked versions of DLSS 5 to work in almost all environments and are using it with settings sliders maxed out. In response, Nvidia is revising its plans. Nvidia spokesperson Rajal Maharaj confirmed to The Verge that while DLSS 5 will still be prioritized for release on RTX 50 GPUs, older generation RTX 40 series GPUs will also receive official support.
Part of Nvidia's statement:
"Currently, we are focusing on optimizing the performance of GeForce RTX 50 series through a model update scheduled for later this fall. Once performance tuning for the RTX 50 series is complete, we plan to expand official support to the GeForce RTX 40 series."

Now that the secret is out, will regular gamers be able to control DLSS 5's slider settings as modders already are? Nvidia's answer is "no."
Nvidia stated, "For gamers, DLSS 5 is simply an on/off toggle switch." They drew the line by saying, "More precise and artistic control options such as model selection, structure intensity, tone intensity, automatic masking, and pixel-level custom masking are features provided to developers."
