TL;DR Summary
Modders have unofficially ported Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI rendering to games like Control, Skyrim, GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, and more, showing facial feature tweaks and lighting changes; the mod can halve FPS and use a lot of VRAM, with RTX 4090/4080 support via older RTX GPUs. Nvidia says the feature preserves artistic control and DLSS 5 will officially launch this fall, while reactions range from impressed to skeptical that it looks AI-generated.
