Key points

  • DLSS 5 code found in NBA 2K27 early-access build
  • Modders extract and apply to Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V
  • RenoDX Discord channel reportedly found extraction method
  • Unofficial version of Nvidia's AI upscaling tech in testing

What happened

Modders are testing an unofficial version of Nvidia's DLSS 5 on games including Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, and GTA V. The code for the AI upscaling technology surfaced 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" effects, according to The Verge.

Why it matters

The leak allows modders to apply Nvidia's latest AI effects to a wide range of titles before an official release. This could pressure Nvidia to address the situation, as unofficial implementations may not be optimized or supported. The move also highlights the demand for advanced upscaling technology in the modding community.

Why it matters

This leak could accelerate adoption of DLSS 5 features across games before official release, potentially impacting Nvidia's rollout strategy.
