EVIDENCE-BASED GPU GUIDE
DLSS 5 Supported Cards & GPU Compatibility Checker
All 31 GeForce RTX models in this data set are listed below with VRAM, architecture, status and a link to the evidence page for each card: 6 RTX 50-series cards confirmed, 9 RTX 40-series cards unconfirmed, 16 RTX 30/20-series cards outside the published scope.
DLSS 5 support by model (31 cards)
Source for every status on this page: NVIDIA's DLSS 5 announcement. Hardware specification values on the individual model pages come from the published GeForce RTX series specification tables, which cite NVIDIA's own product pages and architecture whitepapers.

How each status is decided
| Status | What it means | Evidence required |
|---|---|---|
| confirmed | NVIDIA has published a scope covering this model | Official NVIDIA statement or gameplay list |
| unconfirmed | No official model-level statement exists yet | NVIDIA source linked; community claims excluded |
| no | Outside the published compatibility scope | Architecture plus official compatibility information |
GeForce RTX 50 Series (Blackwell)
NVIDIA's published DLSS 5 scope names this generation. All 6 models below are recorded as confirmed — RTX 5090, RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5070, RTX 5060 Ti, RTX 5060. Confirmed is a hardware-scope statement: each game still has to ship the feature, so check the title you care about before buying a card for it.
GeForce RTX 40 Series (Ada Lovelace)
No NVIDIA statement covers Ada Lovelace at model level, so all 9 cards below stay unconfirmed — RTX 4090, RTX 4080 Super, RTX 4080, RTX 4070 Ti Super, RTX 4070 Ti, RTX 4070 Super, RTX 4070, RTX 4060 Ti, RTX 4060. Unconfirmed is not a rejection: it means the source needed to say "supported" has not been published.
GeForce RTX 30 Series (Ampere)
Ampere sits outside the DLSS 5 scope NVIDIA has published, so all 9 cards below read "not supported in the current official list" — RTX 3090 Ti, RTX 3090, RTX 3080 Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 3070 Ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX 3060, RTX 3050. Older DLSS features on these cards are separate and unchanged by this record.
GeForce RTX 20 Series (Turing)
Turing sits outside the DLSS 5 scope NVIDIA has published, so all 7 cards below read "not supported in the current official list" — RTX 2080 Ti, RTX 2080 Super, RTX 2080, RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2070, RTX 2060 Super, RTX 2060. Older DLSS features on these cards are separate and unchanged by this record.
Compatibility FAQ
Which GPUs support DLSS 5?
NVIDIA has confirmed DLSS 5 for GeForce RTX 50 Series Blackwell hardware. RTX 40 support remains unconfirmed until NVIDIA publishes a compatibility statement.
Can an RTX 4090 run DLSS 5?
No official NVIDIA confirmation is available yet. Treat the RTX 4090 as unconfirmed rather than assuming support or rejection.
Is this an official NVIDIA checker?
No. This is an independent reference that links each status to public NVIDIA information and does not scan your computer.
How often is the matrix updated?
We update entries when NVIDIA publishes verifiable driver, game or hardware information. Recheck the linked source before making an upgrade decision.
