Modders Make DLSS 5 Work On AMD GPUs With Simpler Installation
For better or worse, NVIDIA has unleashed DLSS 5 into the world, and it’s now the key selling point of its GeForce RTX 50-series cards – if you can find and afford one. It may eventually be available on the older 40-series cards as well, but for now, it remains strictly an NVIDIA thing, at […] The post Modders Make DLSS 5 Work On AMD GPUs With Simpler Installation appeared first on Lowyat.NET .
NVIDIA's DLSS 5 has become a key feature of its GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards, though it is currently exclusive to NVIDIA hardware. Modders have taken it upon themselves to bring DLSS 5 support to AMD GPUs, despite the performance and installation challenges. Previously, DLSS 5 was achievable on AMD Radeon GPUs, but the performance was lacking and installation required manual work to replace DLL files in each game.
However, recent advancements have resulted in significant performance improvements, up to 89%, and installation has become more user-friendly through the AMDNR launcher. This launcher allows for the installation of two implementations of DLSS 5 on AMD hardware: Kien's dlss5-on-amd9070xt-porting, which is open-source, and Daniel Blanco's DLSS-NR-on-AMD, which is closed-source.
Both implementations come with limitations, such as being restricted to single-player titles and potentially causing visual artifacts due to the nature of DLL injection. Despite these drawbacks, AMD may eventually develop its own version of DLSS 5, but until then, modders' unofficial ports offer a viable solution for AMD GPU users.
