  "account": "Modders have developed two significant solutions for Nvidia's DLSS 5, enhancing both performance and compatibility. The DLSS 5 Swapper app simplifies the process of applying DLSS 5 to unsupported games by automating the setup, while DLSS 5 Autopilot offers a one-click setup with an additional \"neural upstream\" add-on that improves performance by running the neural rendering process earlier in the rendering chain. However, despite these advancements, the author advises caution when using unofficial mods due to potential security risks and possible image degradation. DLSS 5 is currently officially supported in only one game, NBA 2K27, and even then, it provides an excellent performance boost.",
  "summary": "The Swapper and Autopilot mods for DLSS 5 allow for easily applying the tech to all kinds of games, with a nifty additional trick in the case of the latter.",
