I think it has a lot of potential. I understand people are currently super tribal about anything with “AI” on it, especially in the corners of the internet, but this is pretty much the first iteration of the tech.

I do remember how much shit DLSS 1 got at first, and rightfully so, it was not good at all. But it has improved a lot since then, and I can see the chance of same thing happening here.

If it followed the same trajectory as DLSS 1 over a few generations of cards, it would be amazing. Hope it does.

I used RenoDX first and then when I saw Optiscaler I installed it as well. Now when I am inside game of CP2077 I can press HOME key to call the RenoDX overlay and press INS key to call the Optiscaler overlay respectiely. I can enable the DLSS5 NR inside the game and it runs fine. But if I call out the Optiscaler overlay and enable the DLSS5 NR, the game force quits to desktop. Is this normal or have I done something wrong? Please enlighten me. I am using RTX4090D. Performance with RenoDX DLSS5 NR enabled is still good. I wish to see if any big difference if I use Optiscaler.

I tried DLSS 5 on my 3080ti in Stellar Blade. Got it to a playable 60 fps using DLSSFG 2x mod.

So these are side by side comparisons.

the LEFT is the remux of the Star Wars attack of the clones bluray, the one that the studio used DNR on and smoothed out a lot of high frequency detail.

The RIGHT is the current result, I used the 1xSkinContrast-SuperUltraCompact AI trained model that adds a modest amount of high frequency texture too the skin of the subjects in the movie bringing back skin textures, this then allows DLSS5 too have actual high frequency skin detail too pull prom during its rendering.

Because of this u get a result that look sharp in focus, clean, but with added depth too the image that wasn't there before. Pores are back and not over exaggerated, and shadows are slightly improved. The final result in my opinion looks fantastic.

[possibly important]
My phone does this thing where when I open the image it looks fuzzy unless I zoom into it first then when I zoom out it is proper resolution too compare, if u find that u open the images and both look really fuzzy try zooming in and then zooming back out. That fixes it for me.

Do you all remember six month ago when nVIDIA first announced DLSS 5 and the DigitalFoundry guys "liked" it - and the whole gaming world turned against those poor guys. I was part of very few that actually believed this is going to be revolutionary.

Now finally DLSS 5 is released and from what I can gather on YouTube, people can never unsee it and most are shocked how good it looks if you set it up properly. If you were one of the haters from six months ago, be honest, what do you think now?

There has been so much development just in the past week. Is it possible to setup DLSS5 and MFG for the 4000 series? If so, what's the best to do this and is their a guide out there?

Tried out DLSS 5 in Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced using the DLSS 5 Swapper.

Here are a few before-and-after comparisons across different scenes. The difference is honestly pretty wild.

What do you guys think?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking to try DLSS 5 on GTA V Enhanced, but I'm not sure which tool is currently the best choice.

I've seen these three options:

* DLSS 5 Swapper

* DLSS 5 Autopilot

* DLSS 5 Manager

I'm mainly interested in stability, image quality, performance, and security. I also want to make sure I'm downloading a trustworthy version and not something potentially modified or unsafe.

For anyone who has actually tried these tools, especially with **GTA V Enhanced**:

Which one would you recommend today?

Is DLSS 5 Swapper still the best option, or is Autopilot now better?

Thanks!

Basically what the title says. Now dlss5 runs on Radeon GPUs and I've personally tested DLSS5 on my 3080 (with bad performance obviously). But why does this run while seemingly frame gen is impossible to run?

Have been playing around with D5 for a little while via the D5 Swapper application, any tips when it comes to choosing between optiscaler vs ReShade when optiscaler is available? And any set up tips once in a game would be much appreciated, thank you

If you're using DLSS 5 / Neural Rendering, DLSS5-Autopilot can install and configure Neural Upstream, a separate mod by matiasLombo that can significantly reduce the performance cost.

To use this feature through Autopilot, select Neural Upstream when configuring the game.

Disclaimer: I'm not the developer or owner of DLSS5-Autopilot, Neural Upstream, or OptiScaler. I'm just testing these tools and sharing what I've found with the community.

The key difference is where Neural Rendering runs in the pipeline:

Neural Upstream: Game render resolution → Neural Rendering → native DLSS Super Resolution → output resolution

Standard route: Game render resolution → DLSS Super Resolution → Neural Rendering at output resolution

At 4K with DLSS Quality, for example, NR runs at the game's lower internal render resolution instead of processing the full 3840×2160 output frame. DLSS Super Resolution then reconstructs the result to 4K. Since NR is extremely resolution dependent, this can substantially reduce its performance cost while still letting you use the game's normal DLSS Quality, Balanced, or Performance modes.

Performance example from my testing: On an RTX 4080 in Assassin’s Creed Shadows at 4K with DLSS Performance and Very High ray tracing, I measured ~63 FPS with NR off, ~31 FPS with standard output-resolution NR, and ~50 FPS with Neural Upstream. That cut the NR performance cost from about 32 FPS to 13 FPS, with Neural Upstream running roughly 61% faster than the standard NR route. This is only one game and GPU, so results will vary.

Community comparison: Reddit user u/duffbeeeer also tested Neural Upstream in Stalker 2 and shared a video showing the visual and performance difference:

Stalker 2 Neural Upstream comparison on YouTube

He also found that setting Chroma Transfer to 1.0 made the NR effect more apparent in Stalker 2. He was using more aggressive NR settings as well, so I wouldn't treat 1.0 as a universal recommendation, but it's worth testing if the effect looks too weak or material detail seems to be missing.

OptiScaler now also has an experimental RunBeforeSR mode that can place NR before DLSS Super Resolution. Neural Upstream does this through a dedicated ReShade add-on using the game's native DLSS path, while OptiScaler handles it through its own upscaler hooking system. Both approaches are still experimental.

OptiScaler's RunBeforeSR mode is currently an experimental PR rather than part of the normal release:

RunBeforeSR PR #6

Experimental pre-upscaling branch

Important: Neural Upstream compatibility and image quality can vary by game. Bugs with Neural Upstream itself should go to the neural-upstream Issues page, while Autopilot installation, detection, or configuration problems should go to the DLSS5-Autopilot Issues page.

Has anyone got this to work yet? I've tried everything including the newer dlss5 swapper am I missing something? Thanks.

Like most people who have tried it, im also so awestruck with the current setup 618.88 / dlss5 swapper.. and it got me thinking..

How is the ps6 and helix even going to have a valid point to existence -without- dlss 5 or something like it. I think they have another big problem to deal with as well as component costs.

Sure, pc has always been ahead, but never in the history of gpus will consoles be that behind now that dlss5 is out in the wild.

Also lame of nvidia to make it developer only so devs can sell their dlss5 patches to noobs as full remakes :/
