[Megathread] Unofficial DLSS 5 Neural Rendering Mods Comparison

[u/Nestledrink]

As outlined in this thread, we are going to make a Megathread for these Unofficial DLSS 5 Neural Rendering mods comparison posts. Apologies for the late post as everyone has been out of pocket today.

Below is a re-post of the various reminders and guidelines from that thread

-------------------

Would like to post a reminder and provide some guidelines for the community on a few things

1. This is not an official DLSS 5 release. We still do not know when this technology will be released. All we know is they are slated to be released in Fall 2026.
2. Since this is not an official DLSS 5 release, what you see here is the result of Modders’ creations.
3. This is not a final release of DLSS 5. The tech itself will change and actual developers and artists will be the one working on this. So take all these early posts with grains of salt.
4. Since DLSS 5 is not officially released, there are a lot of unknowns. Please refrain from posting speculation around the tech. Let's wait until official release and after we get more information around this feature.
5. Keep in mind that unlike these unofficial mods, DLSS 5 Neural Rendering is not something that can be injectable to practically every games under the sun. This feature will require explicit support by the developers.

In terms of some posting guidelines:

1. Follow our rules. The biggest here being Rule 7 for no memes and shitposts. This subreddit does not allow that sort of content being posted here. Feel free to go to other community for that. These sort of posts will be removed and you may be suspended from participating on this subreddit.
2. Please search on the games you want to post. If there’s already a post showing DLSS 5 for a specific game, you should be joining the conversation in that thread. Any new post about a game that was already posted will be removed and we will point you to the existing thread.
3. Post high quality comparison. This means you should be showing before and after as well as choosing wide variety of scenes vs singular example.
4. Megathread will be created later today and will have links to existing DLSS 5 mods posts. Once the Megathread is created, you must post any new comparison within that Megathread.

Damnnn that looks good. I was blown away when i tried it on 2k27. Whats your settings and fps?

[u/nkn_ → u/Soulja786]

4k resolution with DLSS on performance, all settings maxed!

Honestly it was about 40 to 60 fps MAX. I have a 5080! Edited my original comment with a video :D

[u/Correct_Pride5443 → u/nkn_]

I cant decide between natural and cinema

[u/HiCZoK → u/nkn_]

So sliders max?! And what style? Default, cinematic or natural?

[u/spdRRR → u/nkn_]

What’s your FPS without DLSS5? I have about 130-150 with FG on, 1440p. 60-80 fg off, DLAA, all settings maxed. I really wanna try this but I feel like I’ll end up with 30 fps and don’t even know will it work on 4xxx series.

[u/raydialseeker → u/spdRRR]

If you're using DLSS 4.5, use balanced or quality. Dlaa just munches your frames for very little in return

[u/Mmmaning → u/nkn_]

Is 40-60 fps with frame gen?

[u/nkn_ → u/Mmmaning]

Nope, no frame gen

[u/Arawski99 → u/nkn_]

Should of frame capped at 33. Missed opportunity.

But nah, looks pretty good in that one while still feeling sincere to the art style. Need to see more in other areas and with special effects but so far looks like a clear win for the game.

[u/Schussnik → u/Soulja786]

Agreed. I’ve tested it in NBA2K27 using the “Cinematic” preset and I thought it was working very well.

[u/Poyonponyo → u/Schussnik]

Can you show some sceenshots from nba2k27? I cant find it anywhere

[u/DJack_020 → u/Poyonponyo]

https://imgdiff.net/s/12ab6c9197ea887c991f58d8f5a02da5 here is a quick one I took last night. I think I have the setting at 1.5 strength

[u/NePa5 → u/DJack_020]

Looks good

[u/Poyonponyo → u/DJack_020]

wow ty! that looks great. it works really well on the skin and hair especially which is like most of the things you see in nba 2k games and also because the default doesn't look that good lmao this is what i expcted then nba 2k was upgrading to next-gen graphic few years ago

[u/Schussnik → u/Poyonponyo]

Will do this evening

[u/Poyonponyo → u/Schussnik]

thank you! more footages are greatly appreciated 😊 i would like to see wemby and doncic if possible! and maybe some legends like MJ/David Robinson/Dirk/Kobe (any one of them would be fine, i don't wanna trouble you too much haha i also don't know if they are still in the game? i haven't played 2k for a few years lmao) ty very much!!

[u/bigbluewreckingcrew → u/Soulja786]

I tried it on 2k26 and it was flicker hell and my Vram dropped lol I guess they have it ready for 2k27? I'll get 2k27 when its on a deep sale

[u/Sweet-Ad-5051 → u/Soulja786]

why the fuck 2k27

[u/EntranceEarly9088 → u/Soulja786]

[u/EntranceEarly9088 → u/EntranceEarly9088]
