NVIDIA's DLSS 5 adds subtle details to NBA 2K27, but demands a lot more power
DLSS 5's juice may not be worth the squeeze for launch title NBA 2K27.
AI Summary
NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 AI texture enhancement debuted in NBA 2K27, the first game to use the technology. The implementation is very subtle, adding only minor texture and lighting improvements that many players may not notice. However, the feature causes a noticeable framerate drop and higher power consumption. NVIDIA markets DLSS 5 as a way to achieve lifelike graphics through neural rendering, avoiding reliance on raw GPU processing. The game’s use of the tech shows a cautious approach compared to earlier, more dramatic applications in titles like Control and Final Fantasy VII Remake.
