Modders Push Leaked DLSS 5 to RTX 20 GPUs and DX9 Games With FP16

Summary
RTX 20-series and RTX 30-series cards are now running the leaked DLSS 5 through community mods, with testers also enabling it in PCSX2 and older DirectX 9 and 11 games.
FP16 builds replaced the earlier FP8 approach that hurt Ampere performance, and RenoDX Discord users reported more respectable results on RTX 30 hardware.
Compatibility remains uneven: Red Dead Redemption reportedly worked, while Red Dead Redemption 2 failed, Hogwarts Legacy stalled, and GTA 5 lost display output after about 10 seconds.
ShortFuse released new DLSS-NR builds for older RTX hardware, including a speed-boost version for Turing, extending support three generations behind Nvidia's recommended Blackwell GPUs.
The spread began after a DLSS 5 precursor leaked with NBA 2K27; Nvidia still has not said which GPU generations will get official support when DLSS 5 launches this fall.
