GoKawiilModders extract leaked DLSS 5 neural rendering tool from NBA 2K27, run it in Control
A file named nvngx_dlssnr.dll was found inside NBA 2K27's early access build, revealing pieces of Nvidia's unreleased DLSS 5 neural rendering system. A RenoDX modder used the library to enable DLSS 5-style effects on character models in Control, exposing seven adjustable style and intensity sliders.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This is the first hands-on glimpse of DLSS 5 ahead of Nvidia's promised fall launch, and it comes with a steep cost: an RTX 5070 Ti dropped from 71 to 35 FPS at 4K with the feature enabled, and only Blackwell GPUs currently support it. If those performance figures hold with proper optimization, gamers may face a tough tradeoff between visual upgrades and frame rates.
- A leaked DLL in NBA 2K27's early access build hints DLSS 5 support is imminent.
- Modders got an early, unofficial version running in Control using the leaked library.
- Performance testing showed a roughly 50% FPS hit on an RTX 5070 Ti at 4K, though settings weren't disclosed.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Graphics Card — If you want to experiment with Nvidia's upcoming DLSS 5 neural rendering yourself, a Blackwell-generation RTX 5070 Ti is the card the modders were testing on. It's a solid 4K-capable GPU that puts you in position for whatever Nvidia ships this fall.
