Nvidia tones down DLSS 5 for Hogwarts Legacy debut on november 5
Nvidia’s DLSS 5, first shown earlier this year, returns to Hogwarts Legacy with far less aggressive facial changes. The new screenshots released today show teenagers looking their age instead of the middle‑aged look that sparked criticism when a 15-year‑old student in the game appeared older and a character in Resident Evil Requiem was described as “yassified.”
Key points
- dlss 5 will launch in hogwarts legacy on november 5th with subtler facial changes
- october update cuts model size by 24 percent to about 118 million parameters and lowers 4k vram use by 20 percent
- performance mode for frame generation is up to 35 precent faster and twice as fast on rtx 50-series GPUs
The technology will launch in Hogwarts Legacy on November 5th and later in Where Winds Meet. An October update to the neural‑rendering system claims the model footprint is shrunk by 24 percent to roughly 118 million parameters and 4K VRAM usage is cut by 20 percent, according to Nvidia’s Andrew Burnes. The same update promises the DLSS 5 model to run twice as fast on RTX 50‑series GPUs and upcoming RTX Spark laptops. A new Nvidia app beta also adds a performance mode for Frame Generation that Nvidia says is up to 35 precent faster, with minor image‑quality trade‑offs. The updated DLSS 5 model will first appear in NBA 2K27 on October 16th and is slated to ship by default with future DLSS 5 games.
