What happened
Modders extracted a leaked DLSS 5 build and got it running in Control on early Blackwell hardware. Testing showed an RTX 5070 Ti dropping from 71 to 35 FPS at 4K, suggesting the leaked version is either broken or unoptimized rather than a performance win.
Why it matters
This is early leaked gaming GPU tech with no actionable takeaway for builders. The FPS regression is notable only as a caution that leaked DLSS builds are not representative of shipping performance. Skip unless you track NVIDIA upscaling pipelines closely.
Discussion angle
Brief mention only: leaked early-access GPU software benchmarks are unreliable signals for planning hardware purchases or infrastructure decisions.
