Nvidia deployed DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering in Hogwarts Legacy
On November 5, Nvidia deployed DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering technology in Hogwarts Legacy on GeForce NOW, improving lighting and materials. This is a refined version of the earlier DLSS 5, whose model the company shrank by 24% and reduced VRAM consumption by 20%.
Today, November 5, Nvidia deployed DLSS 5 with 3D-Guided Neural Rendering technology in the game Hogwarts Legacy. The upgrade is available on the cloud platform GeForce NOW and, according to Nvidia, improves lighting and material appearance in the game; the deployment is part of expanding the game library on this platform.
This follows up on an earlier report according to which Nvidia published new comparison screenshots of Hogwarts Legacy showing significantly more refined face adjustments compared to the DLSS 5 version introduced earlier this year — at that time, according to the source, the technology visibly aged characters and was criticized by players as exaggerated. Nvidia also, in an October update, shrank the DLSS 5 model by 24%, to approximately 118 million parameters, which according to the company reduced VRAM consumption at 4K resolution by 20% and sped up processing by up to twice on RTX 50-series GPUs and upcoming RTX Spark laptops.
According to the source, this smaller model debuted first in the game NBA 2K27 and is set to become the default for future games with DLSS 5 support. DLSS 5 is also expected, according to earlier information, to arrive in the game Where Winds Meet.
Why it matters
The sources concern consumer graphics technology for gaming (upscaling and image enhancement using neural networks). The available texts show no direct impact on corporate processes or on an individual's decision-making in a work context — this is a product update for end users of games on the GeForce and GeForce NOW platforms.
