Modder danielblnc on GitHub continues to pump out updates for DLSS-NR on AMD, a tool that allows Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000 GPU owners to enable DLSS 5 Neural Rendering in any DirectX 12 game with FSR support. We first saw the mod surface in early September, boasting 30 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077, and there have been a ton of updates since its initial release.

The mod is now freely available in Alpha 0.4.3, something danielblnc calls “The 75 FPS update” after hitting the performance milestone in Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p in ‘9070 XT Fast mode’ – the past few days have seen back-to-back updates with significant performance improvements. Versions 0.3.3 and 0.4.0 offered big 23% and 42% upgrades, respectively.

DLSS NR on AMD gets “The 75 FPS update”

The latest Alpha 0.4.3 update details a 20% performance improvement over the previous 0.4.2 version in Reference quality mode, and 18% in Fast mode. Reference quality renders with Nvidia’s official settings/calculations (there’s no strength slider in DLSS 5’s official implementation for NBA 2K27), while Fast mode is less intensive. You can find the full patch notes below.

• 20% performance improvement over v0.4.2 in Reference quality mode, 18% in Fast mode.
• Performance now hits 75 FPS in Cyberpunk @ 1080p, 9070 XT Fast mode
• New OverlayKey setting
• Fixed the overlay not opening in some cases
• Fixed multiple bugs in the settings editor

danielblnc introduced ‘Fast’ mode in Alpha version 0.4.2, allowing users to use “cheaper arithmetic where the difference is barely visible”. It’s now the default setting for RX 9000 series GPUs, while RX 7000 cards remain limited to the Reference quality mode.

There have been multiple modders working on DLSS 5 Neural Rendering for AMD graphics cards, including the DLSS 5 Manager, which aims to provide an easier-to-install approach. In a similar fashion, there’s AMD NR, built into the popular OptiScaler mod to provide Neural Rendering alongside other features such as frame generation and Ray Regeneration.
