NVIDIA has made [DLSS 5](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_learning_super_sampling) quicker and lighter. It also confirmed **Hogwarts Legacy** support for **5 November** and said DLSS 5 launches on the new **RTX Spark laptops** today, 16 October.

The October update to the 3D-Guided Neural Rendering model is **2X faster this week** and **10X faster overall** than when DLSS 5 was announced in March. For more, see our [DLSS 5 coverage](https://technosports.co.in/tag/dlss-5/) and [NVIDIA RTX Spark laptop launch](https://technosports.co.in/tag/nvidia/).

## DLSS 5 October Update at a Glance

| Change | NVIDIA’s Figure |
| --- | --- |
| Speed this week | 2X faster |
| Speed since the March announcement | 10X faster |
| Model size | About 24% smaller (roughly 118 million parameters) |
| VRAM use at 4K | 20% less |
| GPU overhead | Half that of the September version |
| Image quality | “Comparable visual fidelity” |
| Frame-rate boost in NBA 2K27 | Up to 1.4X |

The improvements come from pipeline optimizations and model refinements. NVIDIA says the new model will ship by default in future DLSS 5 games.

## Which Games Get DLSS 5, and When

| Game / Tool | Date | Supported On |
| --- | --- | --- |
| NBA 2K27 (new model) | 16th October | RTX 50 Series, RTX Spark laptops, GeForce NOW |
| RTX Remix | 23rd October | DLSS 5 and faster Frame Generation Performance Mode |
| Hogwarts Legacy | 5th November | RTX 50 Series, GeForce NOW, RTX Spark |
| Where Winds Meet | “Coming weeks” / “late November” | NVIDIA gives both timings |

On Hogwarts Legacy, developer Avalanche Software used DLSS 5 SDK controls to keep the game’s artistic intent. NVIDIA says DLSS 5 improves lighting and materials in side-by-side comparisons.

RTX Remix modders get the same artistic controls as developers, including per-object presets and masking. NVIDIA showed **Fallout 4 RTX** (better helmet reflections, lighting and clothing depth) and **Mirror’s Edge RTX** (better contact shadows and ambient occlusion). These are NVIDIA’s own claims.

## New: Frame Generation Performance Mode (Preset C)

NVIDIA also released a beta **Frame Generation Performance Mode**, called **Preset C**. It is available on GeForce RTX 40 and 50 Series GPUs and RTX Spark laptops.

- It swaps the second AI optical-flow model for a faster, lighter algorithm, with “minor trade-offs in image quality.”
- NVIDIA says it is up to **35% faster on a GeForce RTX 5060**.
- It works with DLSS Frame Generation, Multi Frame Generation and Dynamic Multi Frame Generation.

## How to Turn On Preset C

1. Install the newest NVIDIA app beta update.
2. Go to Settings > About and opt in to beta or experimental features.
3. In the Graphics section, open Driver Settings > DLSS Override – Model Presets > Custom.
4. Set Frame Generation to Preset C.

If Preset C doesn’t show up, reboot. NVIDIA does not give a minimum driver version in the article.

## Why It Matters for RTX Spark Laptops

DLSS 5 launches on [RTX Spark laptops](https://technosports.co.in/tag/nvidia/) today. A model that is smaller, uses less VRAM and has half the GPU overhead is the kind of change that helps a thin laptop most, where power and cooling are limited. NVIDIA calls DLSS 5 “game-changing” for these machines.

## Quick Answers
