Nvidia extends DLSS 5 support to RTX 40-series GPUs amid modder pressure

Nvidia has confirmed that its AI-powered DLSS 5 rendering technology will officially come to older RTX 40-series GPUs, expanding beyond its initial RTX 50-only launch. The announcement was confirmed to The Verge by Nvidia spokesperson Rajal Maharaj. The decision follows unofficial modder activity that had already ported a leaked version of DLSS 5 to run on a wide range of hardware with user-controlled settings. Nvidia had originally intended DLSS 5 to debut exclusively on RTX 50 GPUs, with developers retaining full control over image quality settings. The company says its current priority remains optimizing performance for the RTX 50 series before broadening support.

The guest list was reportedly composed largely of pro-Tesla influencers, a strategy similar to the company's robotaxi event the previous year. The low-key approach appeared designed to limit outside scrutiny of Tesla's latest autonomous vehicle product.
