AMD rumored to develop DLSS 5 rival for next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs
Reports indicate AMD is developing a neural rendering technology similar to Nvidia's DLSS 5 for its upcoming RDNA 5 graphics cards.
Leaker confirms development plans
A known industry leaker identified as Kepler L2 posted on the Anandtech forum regarding rumors of AMD's new technology. The source stated that AMD will release its own version of neural lighting alongside next-generation hardware. This clarification specified that the project targets a take on DLSS 5 rather than just ray reconstruction features.
Hardware requirements explained
The leaker noted that the new technology requires next-gen RDNA 5 GPUs because the processing tasks are very resource-intensive. Direct access to specific game data like geometry and depth buffers is necessary to minimize hallucinations in the output. These technical demands suggest the system will be heavy on computational resources compared to previous generations.
Potential launch timeline
Industry speculation suggests that next-gen RDNA 5 cards could arrive in late 2027 or 2028. This projected release date might leave AMD lagging behind Nvidia considerably if the current development pace continues. The timing depends on how quickly the company can resolve issues with its approach to neural rendering.
