Gamers Use PC GPUs to Apply DLSS 5 to Upcoming GTA VI via PS5 Capture Card
WHY IT MATTERS
The experiment demonstrates that PC GPUs can enhance console‑exclusive titles, suggesting a potential avenue for cross‑platform performance boosts and prompting discussion about official support for such workarounds.
What happened
While Grand Theft Auto VI remains a PlayStation 5 exclusive, a Reddit user has outlined a method to run the console through a 4K capture card into a PC, then process the video with Veyra, an open‑source tool that applies Nvidia’s DLSS 5 neural rendering. The pipeline upsamples the 30 fps source to 90 fps using DLSS frame generation, and the output is sent back to a 4K TV.
The user demonstrated the setup on the GTA VI Extended Look trailer, noting sharper background detail, subtler shadows, and more realistic light scattering. However, the result also appears washed out compared to the original, with an unnaturally smooth “soap‑opera effect” in some scenes.
The experiment shows how consumer hardware can extend console graphics, though it remains unofficial and unapproved by the game’s developers.
