| DLSS 5 | |
|---|---|
| parameters | 118 million parameters |
| parameter reduction | 24% fewer parameters |
| 4K VRAM use | cut down by 20% |
| NBA 2K27 speed | over 30% faster |
| NBA 2K27 4K frame rate | 65 FPS to 90 FPS |
| Hogwarts Legacy support | November 5 |
| Where Winds Meet support | late November |
NVIDIA's October update trims the model by 24%. The result is a model with 118 million parameters.
Wccftech adds that 4K VRAM use falls by 20%. NBA 2K27 moves from 65 FPS to 90 FPS in 4K.
The Amazon NBA 2K27 page shows only a price. It does not state model size, VRAM, or frame-rate change.
The 118 million parameter count ties the speed and VRAM claims to a smaller model. It is not a new silicon part.
The 20% VRAM cut applies to 4K. It is not a universal memory saving.
The 30% speed claim is tied to NBA 2K27. It should not be assumed for Hogwarts Legacy or Where Winds Meet without a new benchmark.
Power draw, latency, and visual quality remain unmeasured. No page names a chip, node, or wattage.
The update changes the software path for RTX 40 support. It does not show that every title gets the same 30% jump.
The smaller model is the real change, while the speed and VRAM gains are 4K and title-specific.
