DLSS 5 mod brings next-gen tech to old Ampere GPUs, but frame rates are horrible — most games tank to single digits, high-end GPUs can hit up to 40 FPS in some cases
After a leaked DLSS 5 DLL was patched to run on Ampere GPUs, community testing shows performance collapses in most titles. Examples include Cyberpunk 2077 at 7 FPS on an RTX 3080 Ti and Hogwarts Legacy at 2 FPS on an RTX 3070; only by dropping to 720p ultra-performance could one user get 41 FPS in Cyberpunk. Image quality and latency also vary. Nvidia has not officially announced DLSS 5 support.
