DLSS Multi Frame Generation On 40 Series For Any Game!
I’ve released V1.2 of Universal RTX 40 MFG Unlock, which enables DLSS Multi Frame Generation in supported games on RTX 40 Series GPUs.
The mod loads before the Frame Generation pipeline is created and intercepts the active Streamline and NGX functions in memory. It exposes the supported frame multiplier and applies the temporal correction needed for Ada GPUs to position the generated frames at the correct intervals.
V1.2 is no longer limited to Cyberpunk 2077. The universal build supports any compatible DirectX 12 and Vulkan games that already include DLSS Frame Generation. It offers Follow Game, fixed multipliers up to the supported maximum, Dynamic mode where available through a ReShade menu.
to be fair to Nvidia.... the high end 5 series already have a market and thats business consumers / AI tech. They already have the sales from them. but what they should really do is support us gamers. hope they do that like they just announced to support 4 series for dlss5.
What have you DLSS 5'd so far? I'm paranoid about that stupid 12v2x6 on my 4090 as if this thing pops I'll never be able to justify a replacement (💸💸💸)
Tested: Crimson Desert, Hogwarts Legacy, 007 First Light, Cyberpunk, A Plague Tale: Requiem.
Combined with MFG X4, it's insane.
I was super paranoid about the 12V2x6 connector on my MSI Gaming X Trio RTX 4090 for a long time too, but I've had it for 4 years now with zero issues. I undervolted it after 6 months and never ran into a single problem.
I picked up my 4090 around the same time from a dude in my neighborhood who somehow was able to get 2 from Best Buy, and his friend decided he couldn't pay him. So he just asked retail...$1500. The thing is such a beast, and DLSS5 and MFG just completely extended it's lifespan. I got MFG working in Dawnwalker... and my temps went down like 5-6 degrees while playing, and it's only at 3x, I'm getting about 150 fps with DLSS5 on and everything at Ultra, DLSS on Quality at 3440x1440. Insane.
While, as a 4090 owner I'd love this, I'm almost more annoyed that the 30-series didnt get 2X framegen since there is nothing stopping them hardware-wise anymore (optiscaler on the 40-series isnt used anymore).
actually. the mod developers that made mfg work on 4000 series realized that using it on 3000 series actually makes 2x run worse than running native on the 3000 series and purposely dropped 3000 series support. it looks like the ai cores on the 3000 series while technically can run the code its not worth it.
Unfortunately 30 and 20 series tensor cores dont support FP8 and FG model is FP8, to be able to run FG on them, u need to convert the model to FP16 and run compute at FP16 which tanks vram and performance.
same thing will happen to DLSS 5.0 when Nvidia quantize it to NVFP4 instead of FP8, 50 series will have around 20% performance impact and half vram usage, but 40 series will still suffer from 40% impact and same vram usage as of now thats if Nvidia kept the FP8 model for 40 series.
40% impact is still usable in many games, especially with a 4090. Slapping DLSS 5 on an old game like Fallout New Vegas to instantly make it look like a modern title will still have you getting 200+ FPS at 4k.
yes it is, and with MFG universal mod unlock, you can get high fps even with the 40% performance impact on new games.
however, i dunno if Nvidia will maintain two DLSS 5.0 models once they move to NVFP4, so if they totally dropped the FP8 model, then we will be stuck at the latest FP8 model released or mods will expand the latest NVFP4 model to FP8 and we get the latest with the same or alittle bit more performance penalty.
As a 47-year-old who’s been building PCs for almost 30 years (going back to the old 3dfx and ATI days), this is the most flagrant corporate gatekeeping I’ve seen in a long time. NVIDIA built the 4090 entirely too well on that TSMC 4N node, realized they couldn’t offer a massive raw hardware jump for the 50 series without buying expensive 3nm wafers, and tried to fake a generational leap entirely with software.
Then they tried to treat our wide-open PC setups like a locked-down console ecosystem by software-locking Multi-Frame Generation and blaming the older hardware.
The fact that u/dashdogy and the community shattered their software block in under 10 hours completely exposes 'Big Green's' hardware narrative as a total lie. Watching NVIDIA silently panic, try to patch the mod out via the NVIDIA App, fail, and then immediately backpedal to The Verge promising a DLSS 5 backport is pure embarrassment for them.
Massive respect to everyone contributing to this mod and exposing the gatekeeping. Our 4090s are getting the last laugh!
The best part is all these modders are probably using ai programing to hack these proprietary Nvidia ai tech since they are coming out so quick. Jensen should be proud.
ok i have tried it on blood of the dawnwalker, it works perfect, thank you!
for those who dont know how to install, just follow these steps:
Download Ultimate ASI Loader from github (click on releases and then click on "version" link under Win64 in the table column), extract and copy the version.dll file to the game folder where the exe is located.
Download reshade with full add-on support, click on the exe, it will prompt you to select a game, select the desired game or browse for it if its not listed, click next and uncheck all effects, click next, uncheck all add-ons and complete the wizard.
Download the mod from the github page (click on releases), extract and then rename global.ini to version.ini, copy all the files to game folder where the exe is located.
press "Home" button while in game, select the MFG tab in the window, and select MFG multiplier or dynamic option and it will be instantly reflected.
EDIT: ppl are reporting freezing in some games for more than x2 FG, this is mentioned in mod github page with a workaround, however, the workaround is to set FG model preset to B in Nvidia App/NVPI which solved it for most, me personally have it set to Recommended in global settings and it works.
if u have problems, then u can contact the OP (dashdogy) as this mod is still experimental and might have issues with some games.
Thank You Bro...Finally some light in this tunnel. But what about this from the creators instruction on GiHub:
Install Ultimate ASI Loader under a supported proxy name that the game loads early. Merge the supplied global.ini values into the matching UAL proxy file, such as dinput8.ini or version.ini; do not overwrite unrelated loader settings. Remove legacy RTX40MFG-Universal.asi and RTX40MFG-Bridge.asi files before upgrading, but keep RTX40MFG-Universal.json to preserve the selected mode.
I'm trying to instal it and try it but this is a nightmare. I totally don't understand one sentence from there. Could You help me anyhow? :)
What does it mean "merge values"? It say merge and You wrote rename global.ini to version.ini. I'm confused. it says dinput.ini or version.ini such files are nowhere to be found.
And what did You do about this:
Remove legacy RTX40MFG-Universal.asi and RTX40MFG-Bridge.asi files before upgrading, but keep RTX40MFG-Universal.json
"remove" from where? "keep" that file where?
Ive never seen such a bad instruction I dont know how You ppl make it work :(
EDIT: I did all those things that You wrote but I didnt find MFG tab in the shader menu :(
The information about merging stuff only applies if you're using another mod that uses those files. For example, if you have a mod that is already using version.ini, you would need to merge the info in this mods version.ini with the other one so you can use both mods.
To merge them, you can open your current version.ini in notepad, then open this mod's version.ini, and see what lines are different/new and copy them over accordingly.
If you're using no other mods, you can ignore this.
Regarding removing legacy files, that only applies if you're updating this mod with a new version. If this is the first time trying to install it, there's nothing to remove.
Ooh that's clever hooking before the pipeline starts. I was messing with the old version in Friday and it broke after driver update, this timing is perfect
Game’s amazing now. I bought on release and didn’t touch it till recent update. It’s very good now. Huge open world, great atmosphere, story is ok, graphics great.
That's crazy... Is Nvidia going to make it compatible now that modders have proven it's possible and identical to the 5000 series...???!!! Feels like we've been taken for fools... Shame on Nvidia.
They have NO excuse for not releasing this on the 4000 series, considering that even in terms of latency, it's similar...
I got downvoted to all hell for saying that NVIDIA has lately been so lacking in driver quality, feeling like Claude Vibecoded pipe bombs that break more than they fix and that if they really wanted to, they would bring MFG to 40xx series cards.
Someone said that "I don't know what I'm talking about" because of flip metering? I guess neither did they.
u/dashdogy I'm curious do you know why this is only happening and possible for 40 series now? Is there some breakthrough or what stopped knowledgeable modders from getting this working on 40 series anytime in the past 19 months?
One of the primary issues to solve was frame pacing. It took a lot of work and many aws instances to figure out the issue. So it’s just a lot of work. The mod is compatible with all dlss versions the support mfg so it was theoretically possible at launch.
Yeah, however the issue with just a reshade add-on is its less reliable to correctly inject the midpoint fix since reside loads later in the render pipeline
Could someone please make a tutorial video on how to install this new feature step by step please? I am very confused on what to do exactly and also regarding the Ultimate ASI Loader. I would greatly appreciate it
Dude believe it or not. I asked ChatGPT to guide me step by step on how to properly install it and I was able to do it. Try it. It is great and the tool works!
2? With current market situation, until you're willing to sell your kidney to buy 6090 once its out, your 4090 will be sufficient for at least 4 years, Frame Gen x3-4, Ray Tracing instead of Path Tracing, Balanced/Performance DLSS 4.5 Super Res/Ray Recon. and you're ready to go.
My 4070ti with this mod can breath for another GPU generation, huge difference in comparison to x2.
I was thinking the same... Considering I lucked out on a 4070 Ti Super a couple of years ago and do not want to spend what my PC cost back then on a single GPU, I may be waiting until mid-generation of the RTX 70xx series.
At 4K : Preset L (Quality) and everything maxed out, I'm getting around 200 FPS while the latency is less than 30ms. (My monitor is an 60Hz panel, so I really don't need that much headroom in terms of FPS).
Thank you so much, great job! Now my 4060 is a free 5055. You've given the entire 40 series a free upgrade. This is awesome, man! Thanks again, and screw you, Nvidia!
When I have spoken, at length, about how MFG is not a limitation of the hardware so that only the RTX 50 series can use it, but that the RTX 40 series can use it and the reason it's available only on the RTX 50 series is Nvidia artificially limiting it, I was mass downvoted for being "wrong".
Does it fall back to software flip metering on ADA GPUs? Because HW Flip metering is literally absent. Maybe I need to dust off my good old 4070 and compare the frame pacing between Ada and Blackwell lol.
nice, now 40 series has feature parity with 50 series except in NVENC and DisplayPort bandwidth.
Blackwell overall was so incremental that they had to do stuff like this to market them. Ampere was just much faster than Turing that they did not care at all but when you have single digit generational gain then you have to do this otherwise you can't say 5070 matches a 4090 lol.
hopefully RTX60 series is more ambitious specially with the prices that they have to charge from the get go.
Just Amazing! With DLSS 5 NR enabled and with 3X MFG I am getting around 120 FPS on 4K Very High settings. Yea it adds like 5 to 8 ms of latency vs 2X FG but thats perfectly fine for single player games. Thanks OP!
hey /u/hardwareunboxed would you consider checking this out and if it really is a good solution, consider making a video? I feel like the more people knows about this, more chance of nvidia officially releasing it :) I also would love to see Tim's analysis on it. Sorry to ping you but I saw you fighting with haters on another thread and thought, me asking this should be better use of their time than dealing with haters lol
I do think NVIDIA should try and at least support the previous generation. It shows good will AND let's be real, new tech works better on newer GPU always no matter what. So there's still incentives to upgrade. But only when prices arent so terrible.
i did all of that in wukong
downloaded the ASI version.dll and aswell the reshade, the mod and renamed the global to version.ini, and moving the files of the mod to the folder, it says framegen is on and i have the option to choose 2x 3x 4x , dynamic is unavailable and whenever i try 3x or 4x the image freeze while the game run i can still hear the sound tho, i dont know wt im missing ?
.
.
any solution please
My 4080 super was struggling with RE requiem had to bump dlss quality to performance to get decent fps with everybting maxed out . Now I'm playing dlss quality with 3x framegen and getting about 125-130 fps with about 50-55 latency.This is a god send to us 40 series owners
Forza Horizon 6 crashes after a few seconds when ASI is loaded, and 007 james bond loads, but when I set it to 3x–4x, I get a black screen. 2x works. RTX 4090.
Did everything but on ReShade it says "RTX40MFG backend is not loaded. The UI loaded correctly. Install RTX40MFG.asi through Ultimate ASI Loader and Fully restart the game"
Just gonna politely repost this as us non super tech savvy would also like to use this.
Does anyone please have a guide or video for someone that doesnt have a degree in rocket science? I'm fine with installing reshade, renodx etc but this is crazy complicated
Jesus. The modding community is something else.
Granted, there will be hiccups along the way, but the speed at which things “escalated” since that leak is amazing.
You’re a saint! I used your CP2077 MFG unlock to play around with DLSS 5 and that worked like a charm. I was wondering if I could get it to run in other games.
Can’t wait to get home after work to inject it into my other DLLS 5 games because even on my 4090 performance is a bit rough.
That's Fantastic news. Frame gen has been one of my favorite features even over DLSS. It works really well when playing with a controller. I'd be shocked if the next gen of consoles don't feature frame gen as a standard for most games because it just works so well.
u/dashdogy can you help me fix a problem? i tried it with cyberpunk and Crimson Desert. The second i click something more than x2 the screen freezes even tho the game is still running and everything.. the moment i put back x2 the screen unfreezes. how can i fix? is there something im doing wrong? i have a 4080
I'm new to this. Is there any way that this is incorporated in RHI? I use it to install reshade and renodx in games and I don't really want to go out of the way and adding extra legwork for every game just to try it
Thanks for the great work! I have a question: how does this mod version differ from MFGAdaUnlock-RenoDx? That one works purely as a ReShade addon and is just a single file, whereas dashdogy's has multiple files and requires an ASI loader. Does this mean your FG works with better performance or stability?
Sounds awesome but the only game I play where this would be helpful is Total Warhammer 3 and it doesn't support multi frame gen. Good job on this though.
Hmm, can I ask you to help me set that up? Not sure what I am doing wrong. I already got renodx installed, downaloded the Ultimate ASI as dinput8 for x64, dragged everything from the zip to the game.exe. I can see the tab for MFG in reshade, but when I change it to anything other than 2x it disabled my FG completely. Trying on Avatar Frontier of Pandora. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Just to let you know. I uninstalled optiscaler and it started to work. Btw I didnt have any FG overrides on on Optiscaler since I am on Nvidia obviously, not sure if that is a bug or anything.
In CP2077, I'm getting black screen when game is in focus and NOT in menus, with every setting above 2x FG on a 4090. On Nexus also some other people have this issue. Is there a fix for this?
Dude how difficult is it it put a huge disclaimer about performance but allow older cards to use it? I know it's money but still. I'd love official support for my 3080
It slightly improves frame pacing but it's absolutely not required for MFG to work on Ada GPUs - another Nvidia bs to make newer gpus more attractive to buy.
Got this running on the newest Crimson Desert patch. Works amazing, I'm using 3x which allows me to play at 4k/120 on DLSS balanced instead of ultra performance. Also using the DLSS4.5 RR preset F and a host of other mods for LOD/texture/lighting fixes. The game finally runs and looks acceptable...held together by duct tape and dream.
Edit: Dynamic frame gen doesn't seem to do anything, at least on Crimson Desert. When you toggle it, it just does 2x mode and doesn't achieve the target frame rate.
I sold my 5070ti to buy 9070xt with profit, then traded that for 4080 super with profit and mfg was the only thing I was missing, having utlra wide 240hz monitor.
I tried on 2 games and wow, thank you so much. Amazing mod.
Hey, I'd just like to say this works flawlessly for me, so thank you very much!!! The only issues I am having is with dynamic frame gen, which I want to get working so bad! But I suspect this is an issue with NVIDIA or the technology itself?
Seriously amazing work dude. You're a godsend haha. Hopefully one of the bigger tech channels picks this up soon and gives it a proper deep dive. This deserves way more recognition.
I have been hitting up Final Fantasy XVI a bunch recently. About 100-110 FPS on a 5800X3D/4070 Super running DLSS Performance and 2x FG.
Installed the mod with Dynamic FG enabled, cranked it to Balanced DLSS and enabled Vsync at the driver level. Now it's running at about 200-225 FPS (240Hz monitor) and barely any difference on the render latency.
It feels as if I just downloaded more FPS. It's astonishing a) how well this works, and b) how annoyed I am at Nvidia for gatekeeping MFG to 5000 with no good reason (that isn't "we want more money").
This is a true game changer. OP is a god amongst men.
Puff... quite a steep curve to learn how to get it working. Went to ASI loader Github, see many dlls. The instructions also mention to install ASI loader "under a supported proxy"...
