NVIDIA DLSS 5 is now available for all kinds of Steam games. Gamers often hear the conversations around trying DLSS 5 in every sort of game, but the official support is still limited. The problem is now resolved to some extent with a new tool, Borderless Gaming. This is a Steam app that comes with a caption saying, ‘DLSS 5 Neural Rendering for Everyone.’
The tool does not ask users to replace game files; instead, players can install the add-on, pick a preset and apply it to a supported game. This gives PC gamers a simpler way to test DLSS 5 through a mod. The developer stated in the description, “DLSS 5 Neural Rendering is now available in Borderless Gaming – without replacing game DLLs, modifying game files, or needing a game-specific mod. Install the effect, select the preset, and apply it to your game.”
Borderless Gaming was first made to help players run games in a borderless window. Its new DLSS 5 option uses the app’s BGFX system. It works separately from NVIDIA’s own game files. Still, this is not the same as having official DLSS 5 support in a game. The result can also change from one game to another. Players need to download the DLSS 5 effect separately after installing the tool.
Apart from the mod, NVIDIA is also working to bring DLSS 5 support to more games. As of now, the company has announced working with Bethesda, CAPCOM, Ubisoft and Warner Bros. Games to bring the support to games like Starfield, Resident Evil Requiem, Assassin’s Creed Shadows and Hogwarts Legacy. Though there’s no specific time mentioned for the games to have the support.

For players who do not want to deal with complicated game changes, Borderless Gaming offers a simpler option. The setup can work across a wider range of GPUs, but the results depend on the game and the settings being used.
NVIDIA currently lists DLSS 5 support for GeForce RTX 50 Series graphics cards and announced that it has been working on older RTX cards to support DLSS 5. No matter how popular it gets, the Steam tool can’t replace the quality of the official technology. It simply gives PC gamers another way to test DLSS 5.
