Nvidia releases new DLSS 5 model with 24% fewer parameters

Nvidia released a new version of the DLSS 5 model, with 24% fewer parameters than before. Testing published by TechSpot on October 21, 2026 shows that this October update model improves 4K rendering speed on the RTX 50 series by an average of 83% and 1440p by 94%, falling short of the official claim of two times. Taking NBA 2K27 as an example, the RTX 5080's frame rate at 4K rises from 53 FPS to 78 FPS, but there is still a 58% performance loss compared with turning off DLSS 5. The test also noted that the model's image quality is basically on par with the initial version, and issues such as lighting flicker, abnormal skin tones at long distances, and halos around character edges still exist. The model is currently available with the October update, and there are no further evidence-backed developments on its subsequent status.
