NVIDIA Shows DLSS 5 at 370 FPS in NBA 2K27 as Model Runs 5x Faster

Summary
370 FPS at 4K on the RTX 5090 and 233 FPS on the RTX 5080 are NVIDIA’s first official DLSS 5 results for NBA 2K27, with 1080p and 1440p figures also reaching hundreds of frames per second.
DLSS 5 still cuts performance by about 50%-60% on average, so NVIDIA paired the tests with ray tracing, Quality-mode Super Resolution and 6x Multi-Frame Generation across the RTX 50 lineup.
RTX 50-series cards are the only officially supported GPUs for now, even though the FP8-based model can run on older RTX hardware, because NVIDIA says missing MFG features and lower base frame rates hurt playability.
5x speed gains since March helped shrink DLSS 5 from a dual-RTX 5090 demo to running across all RTX 50 cards, and NVIDIA says more optimizations are coming after the technology launches in NBA 2K27 on September 3.
Developer control remains central after earlier backlash: native DLSS 5 games will largely present players with an on-off toggle, while deeper visual tuning stays in developers’ hands rather than user-facing settings.
