Modder brings full Nvidia DLSS 5 suite to three generations of AMD gaming GPUs
Radeon GPUs get the full DLSS experience as solo project ports all the DLSS features for RDNA2-4 GPUs.
The DLSS-NR project, created by Daniel Blanco, was initially released on September 3, 2026, for AMD Radeon GPUs, enabling Neural Rendering in the DLSS 5 suite. The most recent update (0.8.0) expanded the mod to include all main DLSS features: DLSS SR, Frame Generation, Ray Regeneration, and the upgraded Neural Rendering model. While AMD has comparable features like FSR, FSR upscaling, frame generation, ray regeneration, and anti-lag, they are not as universally supported across games as Nvidia's counterparts.
Daniel Blanco designed the mod to address this disparity, filling the gap for Neural Rendering. However, since AMD lacks an equivalent feature, the mod was created to bridge this gap. Daniel initially aimed to implement NR, but the latest release added all DLSS features, such as DLSS Ray Reconstruction, Super Resolution 4.5, Frame Generation, and the latest 310.9.16 Neural Rendering build, which modders have been using in unsupported games.
Interestingly, the update also mentions FSR 4.1.1 upscaling, as AMD GPUs already use FSR, but having the latest version ensures consistency across different scenarios. The mod currently supports three Radeon GPU generations: RX 9000, 7000, and 6000 (RDNA4, 3, and 2), respectively, in any DirectX 12 game that utilizes FSR, DLSS, or XeSS.
Users can install the mod via NeuralHub mod loader, which provides a UI for installation in supported games. Enabling FSR, DLSS, or XeSS in-game allows the mod to integrate into the upscaler pipeline and inject the desired settings, including an overlay to fine-tune DLSS settings without exiting the game.
The developer claims the output quality is comparable to native DLSS on Nvidia GPUs, except for minor effects that may not work 100%. Real-world results are mixed; some users report no performance loss over native FSR, while others experience FPS drops ranging from single digits to up to 25% lower performance across various games. Despite these mixed results, the developer continues making improvements, aiming to match the performance of a 5070Ti. However, the mod is incompatible with anti-cheat systems.
