Prepare your NVIDIA software and driver
For NBA 2K27 on an RTX 50 Series desktop or laptop or an RTX Spark laptop, install the current game update and a compatible GeForce Game Ready Driver before enabling DLSS 5. When you find and update your graphics driver, choose one that supports your GPU, operating system, and the game's DLSS 5 update.
To get NVIDIA's app, open the NVIDIA app download page, select Download Now, and install it on a supported NVIDIA PC. You can use the app to obtain NVIDIA drivers and access NVIDIA applications. Alternatively, open NVIDIA's official GeForce driver page, use Manual Driver Search to locate the driver for your GPU and operating system, then download the applicable Game Ready Driver.
Turn on DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27
Open Main Menu > Features > Video Settings in NBA 2K27. Turn on DLSS Neural Rendering to enable DLSS 5.
If you cannot enable the setting, check that you have installed the current game update and a compatible Game Ready Driver, and that your hardware supports DLSS 5. Complete any missing update before returning to Video Settings and turning on DLSS Neural Rendering.
Switch neural rendering on or off while playing
During NBA 2K27 gameplay or replays, press F9 to toggle neural rendering on or off. This shortcut applies specifically to NBA 2K27 with supported DLSS 5 hardware.
To disable the feature through the menu, return to Main Menu > Features > Video Settings and turn off DLSS Neural Rendering. You can also switch it off with F9 during gameplay or replays, without uninstalling anything.
Use DLSS 5 through GeForce NOW Ultimate
Open the official GeForce NOW download page and select Download for your supported platform, or select Launch on Browser for browser access. Use an Ultimate membership to launch a supported game on an RTX 5080-powered cloud server. Enable DLSS 5 in the streamed game's graphics settings.
If you cannot enable DLSS 5, check your membership, the game's support, and your server assignment. You need Ultimate, a supported game, and an RTX 5080 server together for this route.
Enable DLSS 5 in a compatible RTX Remix game
Install the latest RTX Remix through the NVIDIA app's Home screen. Alternatively, open the official RTX Remix product page, select Download Now, and follow the linked official distribution for the runtime or toolkit appropriate to your project. The runtime steps require the October 23, 2026 DLSS 5 update or later.
In a compatible Remix game, press Alt + X and select Developer Settings Menu. Expand the DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering section, then check DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering. You are using RTX Remix's advanced modding interface here, which requires DLSS 5-capable hardware.
If you cannot use the control, check that your Remix installation includes the required update, that your NVIDIA driver is version 616.92 or newer, and that your game or mod is compatible. Also check that your hardware supports DLSS 5 before returning to the runtime overlay.
Configure DLSS 5 when creating a Remix mod
For mod creation, use the RTX Remix toolkit with its October 2026 DLSS 5 update. Open Edit > Preferences, select HdRemix Renderer, and find its DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering section. Check DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering to enable the feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does installing the NVIDIA app automatically enable DLSS 5?
Installing the NVIDIA app alone does not activate a game's neural-rendering setting. You still need to enable that setting in the game, with compatible hardware and drivers.
Can you use DLSS 5 through a GeForce NOW Alliance Partner?
DLSS 5 availability through a GeForce NOW Alliance Partner depends on the partner. Check your partner's availability as well as the supported game and RTX 5080 server requirements.
What additional DLSS 5 controls can mod creators adjust?
In the RTX Remix toolkit's DLSS 3D-Guided Neural Rendering settings, you can access model selection, intensity controls, and automatic masking.
Can you get RTX Remix through GitHub?
Yes, you can install the latest RTX Remix through the official GitHub distribution linked by NVIDIA. This is another installation route alongside the NVIDIA app.
