I applied DLSS 5 to my Miku Hatsune game of choice, and I have some regrets
A PC gamer tested Nvidia’s DLSS 5 neural rendering technology on an officially unsupported RTX 4070 Super graphics card using third-party tools. DLSS 5 is currently exclusive to Nvidia’s new 50-series GPUs, with 40-series support promised for the future. The author used DLSS 5 Manager to enable the technology and tested its adjustable ‘Live Flow’ upscaling function on Hatsune Miku: Project Diva Mega Mix+, an anime-style rhythm game.
While the experiment allowed early experimentation with the cutting-edge upscaling tech, the article’s title indicates the experience left the author with reservations. The outcome suggests potential challenges in applying neural rendering upscaling to anime-style games or issues with the unofficial implementation approach.
This piece highlights the tension between enthusiast early adoption and official hardware requirements, while raising questions about DLSS 5’s performance across different visual art styles.
