DLSS 5 Supported Cards: Confirmed, Planned, and Unsupported GPUs
RTX 50 desktop and laptop GPUs support DLSS 5 Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27. RTX 40 support is planned without a release date. Compare the features your card can use now, then check the exact game and driver before enabling them.
DLSS 5 supported cards short answer
Last checked October 18, 2026: RTX 50 desktop and laptop GPUs are confirmed for DLSS 5 Neural Rendering in NBA 2K27, including RTX 5090 through RTX 5050, and RTX Spark laptops joined with the faster October model. RTX 40 is planned but not available yet and still has no public date. RTX 20 and RTX 30 have no current official DLSS 5 support, while GTX, AMD, and Intel cards are outside NVIDIA DLSS.
Which DLSS features does each GPU support?
Neural Rendering (NR) changes lighting and materials. It is separate from Super Resolution (SR), Ray Reconstruction (RR), Frame Generation (FG), and Multi Frame Generation (MFG). Each feature also needs game support.
| GPU | SR / DLAA | RR | FG | MFG / Dynamic / 6X | DLSS 5 NR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| RTX 50 | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Live in NBA 2K27 |
| RTX 40 | Yes | Yes | Yes | No | Planned; no date |
| RTX 30 / RTX 20 | Yes | Yes | No | No | No official support |
| GTX / AMD / Intel | No | No | No | No | No local support |

Quick answers for the most-searched cards
These are the models people search for most with "DLSS 5". For any other card, use the GPU checker.
RTX 3060 and RTX 3060 Ti
No DLSS 5 support
RTX 30 cards have no official DLSS 5 Neural Rendering support, and NVIDIA has not announced plans to add it. A Ti suffix or 12GB of VRAM does not change that. They keep DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution, DLAA, and Ray Reconstruction in supported games, but not NVIDIA Frame Generation. Read about unofficial mods and their risks.
RTX 4060 and RTX 4060 Ti
Planned, no date yet
RTX 40 support is planned, but NVIDIA's October 2026 update still left RTX 40 out. When it arrives, the 8GB models will be the tightest fit, since Neural Rendering adds VRAM use at higher resolutions. Today they support Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and 2X Frame Generation. Read about unofficial mods and their risks.
RTX 4070, 4070 SUPER, and 4070 Ti
Planned, no date yet
Same RTX 40 status as every other 40-series card: Ti and SUPER variants do not get DLSS 5 earlier. If DLSS 5 is the only reason to upgrade, waiting for NVIDIA's RTX 40 date is reasonable; the card already runs every other current DLSS feature except Multi Frame Generation. Read about unofficial mods and their risks.
RTX 3070 and RTX 3080
No DLSS 5 support
Like the rest of RTX 30, no official DLSS 5. These cards still benefit from the DLSS 4.5 Super Resolution model; in ray-traced games, Ray Reconstruction is the newest DLSS feature they can use. Read about unofficial mods and their risks.
RTX 5060, 5060 Ti, and 5050
Supported now
Every RTX 50 card is supported, including the entry models. The catch is speed: independent tests showed Neural Rendering roughly halving frame rates on the launch model, so on these cards start at 1080p with Super Resolution and check the 8GB vs 16GB version of a 5060 Ti before comparing results.
RTX 5070 desktop and laptop
Supported now
Both are supported. In GameGPU's NBA 2K27 test the desktop RTX 5070 was the lowest card averaging above 60 FPS with Neural Rendering and maximum ray tracing, without frame generation. The laptop version is a different chip, so compare laptop results, not desktop ones.
RTX 4090 and RTX 4080
Planned, no date yet
The fastest RTX 40 cards are in the same planned group as the rest of the series. Raw performance is not the blocker; NVIDIA simply has not released the RTX 40 version yet. Read about unofficial mods and their risks.

How these status labels changed over time
The timeline below records each time these labels changed, and the DLSS 5 evidence tracker lists the sources behind the current answer. Seeing how the answer moved is useful: it shows which claims were guesses before launch and which are now backed by NVIDIA documentation.
- March 17, 2026, after GTC. First labels. Higher-end RTX 50 cards were marked confirmed from NVIDIA's announcement, RTX 40 and RTX 30 were marked possible or unlikely, and GTX had no DLSS. The same day we moved the RTX 5060 and 5060 Ti down to unlikely after rereading the GTC material. The September launch article later showed that was too cautious.
- June 22, 2026. We dropped guess-style labels such as "possible" and "unlikely" in favour of "expected" and "unknown", because NVIDIA had not published a hardware list and the earlier wording read like predictions.
- September 5, 2026, after the NBA 2K27 launch. NVIDIA's launch article named every RTX 50 desktop and laptop GPU, so all of them became confirmed. RTX 40 became planned, based on NVIDIA's FAQ, and RTX 20 and RTX 30 became unsupported for DLSS 5 while keeping their other DLSS features.
- October 18, 2026. RTX Spark laptops were added as confirmed after NVIDIA's October model update named them. RTX 40 stayed planned because the same update did not include it.
What would move RTX 40 to confirmed: an NVIDIA driver note, game patch, or support table that names RTX 40 GPUs for Neural Rendering. A forum post, a leaked menu, or a mod is not enough.

Frequently asked questions
Which cards support DLSS 5?
The confirmed cards in this guide are RTX 50 desktop and laptop models. RTX 40 support is planned but not live and has no public date. RTX 20 and RTX 30 have no current official DLSS 5 Neural Rendering support.
Does RTX 4070 support DLSS 5?
RTX 4070 is in the RTX 40 group: planned for later, not available today, and still without a public date. It supports current DLSS features such as Frame Generation, Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and DLAA.
Do GTX cards support DLSS?
No. GTX cards do not support NVIDIA DLSS because DLSS relies on RTX hardware.
