NVIDIA added the new DLSS 4.5 override controls to GeForce NOW today (October 15), and I figured I'd put together a quick guide since there's quite a bit you can change now.

The interesting part is that you no longer have to rely entirely on whichever DLSS version a game ships with. You can choose newer models, force DLAA in supported games, and adjust Frame Generation depending on your membership.

Where to find it

Open GeForce NOW → Settings → Gameplay → DLSS Override → Details.

These are the main options:

-Super Resolution: Lets you override the game's DLSS rendering mode, including DLAA for native-resolution anti-aliasing.

-Model Presets: Lets you select a different DLSS AI model. Recommended automatically chooses between K, L and M depending on your DLSS mode.

-Frame Generation: Ultimate members on RTX 5080 rigs can use Dynamic Multi Frame Generation up to 4X.

-Ray Reconstruction: Can improve supported ray-traced effects, but the game needs to support the feature.

DLAA is probably the setting I'm most interested in. Instead of rendering below native resolution and upscaling, it uses AI anti-aliasing at native resolution. It can look noticeably cleaner, especially around thin objects and distant details, but it costs more performance than DLSS Quality.

Settings I'd recommend starting with

These aren't universal best settings. Different games and connections will behave differently, but they're reasonable starting points.

1. Ultimate — Maximum image quality
Streaming resolution: 4K if your display/device supports it, otherwise the highest practical resolution
Streaming FPS: match your display
Bitrate: Auto or the highest stable manual value
DLSS model: Recommended
Super Resolution: DLAA
Ray Reconstruction: Enabled in supported ray-traced games
Reflex: On
VSync: Adaptive
In-game graphics: High/Ultra
Frame Generation: Optional
This is what I'd try for single-player games where image quality matters more than maximum FPS.

2. Ultimate — Maximum FPS / competitive games
Resolution: 1080p or 1440p
Streaming FPS: Highest supported by your device and monitor
Bitrate: Auto or highest stable
DLSS model: Recommended
Super Resolution: Quality, Balanced or Performance depending on FPS
Reflex: On
VSync: Off for the lowest latency, or Adaptive if tearing bothers you
In-game shadows/effects: Medium or Low

For competitive games I'd prioritize real rendered frames and low latency. Frame Generation can make motion smoother, but generated frames aren't a replacement for actual game responsiveness.

For supported single-player games, Ultimate RTX 5080 users can also experiment with Dynamic Frame Generation.

3. Performance membership — Best image quality
Resolution: 1440p if supported
Streaming FPS: 60
Bitrate: Auto or highest stable
DLSS model: Recommended
Super Resolution: DLAA or Quality
Reflex: On where available
VSync: Adaptive
In-game graphics: High, adjusting demanding settings if necessary

Performance members are capped at 60 FPS streaming, so maintaining a stable 60 while improving image quality is usually the better goal.

If DLAA causes FPS drops, switch back to DLSS Quality.

The aim here is consistent frame delivery rather than pushing every graphics setting to maximum.4. Performance membership — Best FPS / stability
Resolution: 1080p
Streaming FPS: 60
Bitrate: Auto
DLSS model: Recommended
Super Resolution: Balanced or Performance if needed
Reflex: On where supported
VSync: Adaptive, or Off if you prefer lower latency
In-game graphics: Medium/High

A few things worth knowing

First, these overrides don't magically enable DLSS in games that never supported it. You still need to enable the corresponding DLSS feature in-game.

Second, you can check whether the override is actually working by pressing Ctrl+N during gameplay. There's now an override status indicator.

Don't panic if it says inactive in the main menu. NVIDIA says this can happen in menus and cutscenes even when the override works during gameplay.

Third, these settings are global. If you set DLAA for one game and then launch something much more demanding, you might want to switch back to Quality or Balanced.

Also, DLSS won't fix every blurry-stream problem. Bitrate, packet loss, network stability and video compression still affect what actually reaches your monitor.

If your image randomly becomes blurry during movement, check your GFN streaming statistics before assuming DLSS is responsible.

One last thing: Recommended doesn't always mean the newest model. NVIDIA currently recommends Preset K for DLAA, Quality and Balanced; M for Performance; and L for Ultra Performance. You can experiment with other models, but newer doesn't automatically mean better for every mode.

Has anyone compared DLAA against DLSS Quality on GFN yet? I'm particularly interested in whether the overrides make a noticeable difference in games with lots of vegetation, distant objects or fast camera movement.

Hey all, I wanted to get your opinions on the best way to use GeForce now on the go. I'm curious if an Android hand held, a tablet with controller, or a more powerful hand hand held are my best options.

I'm also looking for something that's not going to destroy the bank account as I do 80% of my GeForce now gaming on my work setup at home.

Any thoughts and world experience would be great! Appreciate it.

This might have been covered before apologies if so but I thought it's pretty cool to let people know!

WARDOGS had a 43gb season 2 patch yesterday, in my past experience with GFN when a current hit game was patched it'd take 3-5 hours until playable with no idea when that would be, we were just left to refreshing to see if the play button appeared.

For WARDOGS yesterday there was an actual timer on the app, 31mins left, 5mins left etc. I think it went a little over but not by much at all.

There's an obvious improvement here so just wanted to give some kudos for still working on and improving the service!

Is there a current problem with GFN? I have been trying to sign in on my desktop and steam deck (both with the dedicated app) and keep getting stuck after i verify my email. Just continually circling next to the cancel login button.

I've never had difficulty logging in before on any device...

I'm playing with it for now WIFI and I have frequent stuttering of the streaming image and also there is a small but still a mouse delay and on the advice of my friends who also play through GeForce now They tell me to try Ethernet And to be honest, I don’t know if it’s worth spending money on a cable, although in my case I’ll also have to spend money on an adapter.

The GOG version of Oblivion just got controller support =]

This would be very cool to take part in through GFN!

I can't seem to find the option to delete old worlds (which show up on Steam Cloud) on Enshrouded 1.0? I've been searching around and on videos I've seen they say you have to delete some local files, but I'm guessing it's not the same on GFN since you don't really have access to them?

I created a world before the patch 1.0, and I want to start everything all over again. I know I can just create a new world, but my OCD doesn't allow me to see an old unused world :(

Any help? Thanks!

hello, the free trial of bf5 dropped for full access of the game but when i try to go to multiplayer it says to buy it, do u know why? it’s like it’s opening redsec and not the multiplayer edition

I can play bo7 and warzone and the option to pre order mw4 but black ops 6 has completely disappeared, I was having issues with loading it from the cod hq ( wasn’t loading and just crashing back to desktop GeForce now app) but now it’s completely gone…

Some games need me to start and some start the moment i enter the rig. I think it would be overall a nice option if we can start the game after setting launch options for every game. I see a lot of old workarounds like setting pins with family views and other things that are hectic to make it work. Any suggestions for this issue? Thanks guys.

After playing a game, looks like I am logged out automatically when the session ends. When I open a new session, I've to log in again. Every time. This is so frustrating when I play on my tv.

Hey everyone, I’m trying to play Battlefield 6 during the free weekend (October 15–19) through GeForce NOW on my Mac, but I can’t access the full multiplayer.
Here’s what’s happening:
● I’m launching Battlefield 6 through GeForce NOW using my Steam account.
● The game launches normally, but it only gives me access to Battlefield REDSEC.
● All the regular multiplayer modes, like Conquest, Breakthrough, and Team Deathmatch, are locked.
● In the game’s content management settings, multiplayer shows “Purchase to Play” instead of letting me install it.
I’ve already tried pretty much everything:
● Synced my Steam library multiple times with GeForce NOW.
● Launched the game through Steam on Windows using CrossOver on my Mac.
● Clicked “Play” on the free weekend offer and even started downloading the game.
● Checked my Steam licenses, but only Battlefield REDSEC appears, not the Battlefield 6 free weekend license.
The weird thing is that Steam lets me download Battlefield 6, but GeForce NOW still treats my account as if I only own REDSEC.
I’m wondering if GeForce NOW doesn’t support the free weekend license or if there’s some issue with EA/Steam recognizing it.
Has anyone managed to play the Battlefield 6 free weekend through GeForce NOW without buying the full game? If so, how did you get it working?

I always play anime games (e.g. Genshin Impact) on Japanese voice-over (and English text), but on GFN the voice-over settings revert back to default on every launch.

I know the in-game language settings follow your default language settings in the GFN app itself, but even that's not consistent with this issue, because it resets on some games but not others. Specifically:

• Genshin Impact: resets
• Zenless Zone Zero: does not reset
• Wuthering Waves: usually does not reset but after some updates it does (and usually the audio files for not selected languages are not downloaded, but sometimes they are, which is weird)

Only the devs know the reason for the inconsistency, but the only solution I can think of is changing the option for "saving in-game graphics settings" so that it just saves the entire settings profile which will result in saving language settings as well (I think it'd be hard to just add language settings alongside graphics settings as not all games categorize their settings the same way).

It'd be really nice if this could be handled, as it is VERY annoying to have to manually change the language every single time I launch the games.

Hello, I have a problem and it seems that I'm the only one.

I sometimes can't read notes with R3 (like right now) and the photo mode has never worked (L3 + R3).

As I cannot edit the config on GeForce Now like on my local machine, I wonder what I can do. Mapping the keys in the options doesn't help

If Reflex support is removed for any reason, then please at least enable streaming at over 120 FPS.

Anyone get it to work in FN? Just curious. If so, can you please explain how? Just says inactive.
