# NVIDIA DLSS 5 technology release > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/nvidia-dlss-5-technology-release > Updated: 2026-11-05T23:16:42.000Z. Sources: 25. Developments: 3. NVIDIA introduced DLSS 5, a 3D-guided neural rendering technology designed to improve visual realism in video games by enhancing the appearance of lighting, materials, and textures. Designed for GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, the technology utilizes motion vectors and temporal data to generate realistic details for surfaces such as skin, hair, and foliage. NVIDIA has announced the expansion of this technology to several major titles throughout November 2026. Hogwarts Legacy, developed by Avalanche Software and published by Warner Bros. Games, is scheduled to receive the update on November 5. When used with a GeForce RTX 5090 at 4K resolution, the game can reach up to 300 FPS. To maintain character identity, the system focuses neural rendering on environmental elements rather than facial features. As of November 5, 2026, the update for the PC version of Hogwarts Legacy has been officially released, utilizing AI to analyze geometry, textures, and object movement to improve visual fidelity while ensuring enhancements do not deviate from the original artistic vision. Gaijin Entertainment’s War Thunder is expected to implement the update in mid-November via the Eagle’s Shadow patch. This update includes new aircraft, ships, and tanks. Performance tests show the game can reach up to 400 FPS at 4K resolution on an RTX 5090 when combined with Ray Reconstruction and 6X Multi Frame Generation. The Chinese action RPG Where Winds Meet is also slated for integration, with support scheduled for November 24. The technology remains compatible with GeForce RTX 50 Series GPUs, RTX Spark systems, and GeForce NOW Ultimate. NVIDIA has noted that while leaked versions of the technology previously faced criticism for unnaturally altering character appearances, official implementations involve developer fine-tuning to ensure the original art style remains intact. ## Claims - Hogwarts Legacy will integrate DLSS 5 technology on November 5.
