Modders have applied an unofficial version of Nvidia’s DLSS 5 AI upscaling to games such as Skyrim, Cyberpunk 2077, GTA V, and Control after extracting the Neural Rendering file from an early‑access build of NBA 2K27, as reported by RenoDX. In a video, a modder showed that enabling the Neural Uplift setting in the Control mod alters the protagonist’s facial details, making the face appear paler with more visible lines. Another modder demonstrated the effect in GTA: San Andreas, where the technology changes surface textures, sharpens shadows, and shifts lighting tones. Additional videos show the mod enhancing definition in Palworld characters and altering shadow intensity in other titles. Performance testing by a user with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth indicated frame rates dropped from 90 to 29 FPS and noted a large increase in VRAM usage when switching presets. Tests on RTX 50‑series hardware and on RTX 4090 and RTX 4080 GPUs have also shown the mod running. Reactions are mixed; some users say the visual improvements enhance game appearance, while others describe the results as AI‑generated artifacts that resemble image filters. Nvidia announced DLSS 5 in March, describing it as a real‑time AI system for photoreal lighting and materials, and CEO Jensen Huang said the tool does not alter artistic control. The official DLSS 5 release is scheduled for the fall. Because the mod is unofficial, its impact on developers’ intended visual style remains unclear.
