Modder gets Nvidia's DLSS 5 working on AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs — RX 9070 XT only manages 30 FPS at 1080p right now, but 5070 Ti-level performance is the eventual goal
Developer danielblnc released 'DLSS-NR-on-AMD', a closed-source mod that injects DLSS 5 into DirectX 12 games with FSR support on AMD RDNA 4 GPUs. Initial tests on Cyberpunk 2077 show 30 FPS at 1080p on the RX 9070 XT, with plans to reach RTX 5070 Ti-level performance. The mod requires a legally-obtained DLSS 5 DLL and does not work with anti-cheat games. Performance on RDNA 3 is also explored but limited.

We tested DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27 with every RTX 50-series GPU — first official release comes with a big performance hit, but almost every Blackwell card can run it at 1080p
Tom's Hardware's hands-on review of the first official DLSS 5 implementation in NBA 2K27 reveals a transformative visual uplift but a steep performance cost. Testing every RTX 50-series GPU at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K, they found that DLSS 5 makes skin and hair look realistic, but lower-end cards struggle. At 1080p, even the RTX 5060 can manage ~60 FPS, but at 4K only the RTX 5080 and 5090 deliver acceptable latency for frame generation. The article includes detailed power consumption and latency charts, showing the feature's high Tensor Core demand.
