AI Summary

Testing Nvidia’s DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27 on a high‑end RTX 5080 system shows a severe performance penalty. On a benchmarking rig with an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5080 and 32 GB DDR5, enabling DLSS 5 can reduce average frame rates by up to 73 percent in certain scenarios, far exceeding Nvidia’s own estimate of a 50‑60 percent hit. The technology does improve visual quality in the game, but the drop in performance is substantial even on a $3,000‑plus PC.
