NVIDIA DLSS 5 Available September 4th: DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering Debuts In NBA 2K27 For All GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, And On GeForce NOW

Full Article Here: http://www.nvidia.com/en-my/geforce/news/d...eural-rendering

🟢NVIDIA has continuously redefined the boundaries of PC gaming. From introducing real-time ray tracing to pioneering AI-powered graphics with DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction, our RTX technologies have transformed how games are rendered and experienced.

Now, we’re releasing DLSS 5, which introduces 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, a major step forward in using AI to bring real-time graphics closer than ever to Hollywood-grade photorealism.

Watch how DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering and its artistic controls work from Edward Liu, NVIDIA’s Director of Applied Deep Learning Research, and Gabriele Leone, Director of Content Technology.

🟢DLSS 5 will be available starting September 4th at 9pm (GMT+8) in NBA 2K27, by developer Visual Concepts and publisher 2K, for all GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptops, and GeForce NOW. It marks the debut of how the technology can be used by game artists to elevate visual fidelity in alignment with their creative vision.

“What’s great is the level of control that it gives us. We can set the overall tone and style to match our existing art direction and then really get precise where it matters most, using a per pixel uplift control mask to fine tune detail on characters. Given that we want to respect their likeness with the utmost care.” - Peter Kavic, Senior Producer - Visual Concepts

----------------
🟢DLSS 5 FAQ
🟢What is DLSS 5?
DLSS 5 introduces DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering, which uses AI to infuse game scenes with lifelike lighting and materials, tuned by the developers to bring their artistic vision to life.

🟢How does DLSS 5 work?
DLSS 5 uses the game’s rendered frame and engine data to understand objects, materials, lighting and motion. It then enhances the frame with lifelike lighting and materials while remaining grounded in the developer’s artistic direction.

🟢What are the key benefits of DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering?
DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering delivers several significant benefits:
Cinematic Lighting: Reconstructs complex effects like rim lighting, subsurface scattering (for realistic skin), and contact shadows with high-fidelity.
Material Depth: Enhances PBR properties like roughness and adds micro-realism to complex objects such as eyes and hair.
Temporal Consistency: Provides stable image quality from frame-to-frame that adheres to the underlying game content.
Real-Time Performance: Delivers lifelike lighting and material enhancement at up to 4K resolution while maintaining smooth, interactive gameplay.
Developer Controls: Allows game developers to tune intensity, color, and masking to determine where and how enhancements are applied to maintain the game’s unique aesthetic.
Learn more by watching our explainer video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58FagrSqC4M

🟢How much control does the model offer to developers?
DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering provides several layers of artistic control:
Model Selection: Offers distinct model weights with different training parameters to guide the final output.
Structure Intensity: Controls high frequency details added by the model, such as ambient occlusion, contact shadows, and subsurface scattering.
Tone Intensity: Controls low-frequency details added by the model, including lighting and color response.
Automatic Masking: Detects and isolates objects in the frame (like characters) to apply DLSS 5 dynamically, eliminating the need for manual object tagging.
Developer Masking: Offers per-pixel, custom masking control, allowing effects to be applied to specific objects.
As we work in close partnership with studios, developer feedback continues to directly shape how we refine the technology and expand our suite of models and controls.

🟢How does DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering preserve developer artistic intent?
DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering is designed to preserve the structure and geometry of the rendered frame while giving developers control over how and where enhancements are applied.

Developers can select different models, adjust structure and tone, and mask specific scenes, characters or objects.

For more information on developer controls, watch the DLSS 5 Explainer VOD or read the full launch article.

You can also hear directly from the NBA 2K development team on how they integrated the technology. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79D8SVjB3HQ

🟢Which GPUs support DLSS 5?
DLSS 5 will be supported across all GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs and laptops, as well as GeForce NOW Ultimate members streaming from GeForce RTX 5080 rigs in the cloud.

🟢When and where is DLSS 5 available?
DLSS 5 will be available in NBA 2K27 on September 4th at 12PM (GMT+8).

🟢What is the DLSS 5 setting called in games?
The setting is called “DLSS Neural Rendering.”

🟢Can I turn DLSS 5 off?
Yes. DLSS 5 is optional.

🟢Does DLSS 5 work with Ray Tracing and Path Tracing?
Yes. DLSS 5 complements ray tracing and path tracing. Path tracing accurately calculates geometric light transport—determining light, shadow, and reflection placement across a 3D scene. DLSS 5 then acts as the final neural rendering stage, using the rendered frame to enhance lighting and materials like subsurface scattering, micro-reflections, and complex material properties that would otherwise be computationally prohibitive in real time. These technologies go hand in hand.

🟢Does DLSS 5 work with Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction?
Yes.

🟢Will DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction continue to be supported and improved?
Yes.

🟢NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction Enhances Image Quality In Ray-Traced & Path-Traced Games

DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction features a new 2nd generation transformer model to deliver superior image quality in ray-traced and path-traced games. It is available now via a new NVIDIA app update, introducing several major improvements:
Efficient Denoiser: The new model delivers 35% more compute capability, and processes 20% more parameters, while maintaining similar performance to the previous model
Enhanced Super Resolution: Building upon the advances from DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, the model has deeper spatial awareness across every scene, and more intelligently uses game engine pixel sampling and motion data. The result is improved lighting accuracy, better temporal stability and clearer motion in ray-traced and path-traced content
Expanded Training Dataset: Trained on a larger dataset, the new model is even better at image reconstruction. This intelligence gives the model even better awareness to pick the most accurate engine data to reconstruct scenes closer to ground truth

🟢Leading Publishers Bring Blockbuster Games and Technology To NVIDIA RTX Spark

NVIDIA is bringing the next wave of RTX gaming to Gamescom with support for new games, anti-cheat technologies and increased visual quality.

Electronic Arts, Embark and Ubisoft are among the latest game publishers and developers bringing blockbuster titles to NVIDIA RTX Spark ahead of its launch this Fall. They join the publishers that announced RTX Spark support at COMPUTEX in May, including KRAFTON, NetEase, Riot Games and XBOX.

NVIDIA is working closely with game developers and ecosystem partners to ensure today’s top PC games, including EA SPORTS F1® 25 and Apex Legends, Ubisoft’s Anno 117: Pax Romana, and Embark Studios’ ARC Raiders and THE FINALS, run seamlessly on RTX Spark devices.

“We’re excited to bring Anno 117: Pax Romana to a new generation of RTX-powered PCs,” said Stéphane Jankowski, Ubisoft executive producer of Anno 117 : Pax Romana. “Our teams build the game to be seen wide: full districts, long sightlines, thousands of details at once. Seeing RTX Spark hold that level of fidelity from a single chip is genuinely impressive.”

RTX Spark reinvents personal computing, bringing personal AI agents, advanced content creation and high-performance gaming together in a platform engineered from the ground up for the next wave of Windows PCs. For gamers, RTX Spark combines Windows devices with NVIDIA RTX technologies, including DLSS and Reflex.
Supporting modern PC gaming goes beyond running the game itself. Many of today’s biggest online games rely on sophisticated anti-cheat technologies, to enable fair play across the multiple platforms these games run on.

NVIDIA has been working with EA to bring native EA Javelin Anticheat support to RTX Spark, including EA’s biggest multiplayer games, such as EA SPORTS F1® 25. RTX Spark launches this Fall.
