NVIDIA Counts Generated Frames in Its First DLSS 5 Benchmarks

Feature image with a blue line falling to scale across NVIDIA's implied DLSS 5 render rates at 1080p for six GeForce RTX 50 cards, from 133 FPS on the RTX 5090 down to 43 FPS on the RTX 5060, with a dashed reference line at 60 FPS that the series crosses just below the RTX 5070.

NVIDIA's first DLSS 5 charts show output frame rates, and the render rates behind them are a lot lower. The Game Ready driver it needs also has a flicker bug in testing.

The DLSS 5 Back-Ports Show Where the Hardware Line Really Sits

Two donut rings drawn to scale on a dark technical cover: the left blue ring shows an RTX 4090 keeping 61 percent of its frame rate with the modded DLSS 5 Neural Rendering runtime enabled, the right red ring shows an RTX 3080 keeping 3 percent.

Modders have pushed the leaked DLSS 5 runtime from Blackwell down to Ada, Ampere and now Turing. The frame rates say more about NVIDIA's likely support list than the ports do.
