A modder has ported DLSS 5 Neural Rendering onto an AMD GPU for the first time, less than a week after the tech started spreading to older NVIDIA cards<\/a>. Developer danielblnc released a tool called DLSS-NR for AMD, which allows AMD’s RDNA 4 GPUs to run NVIDIA’s neural rendering model in supported games. The setup works by dropping a small installer and NVIDIA’s own nvngx_dlssnr.dll file into a game’s bin folder, then toggling neural rendering through an FSR 3 or FSR 4 profile. It has been tested on Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA V: Enhanced so far, with older AMD GPUs reportedly not supported. Anti-cheat games will block the DLL entirely, so this is single-player territory only for now.<\/p>\n

According to tests by YouTuber Ancient Gameplays, performance is still the bottleneck. Early builds tanked Cyberpunk 2077 from over 80 FPS down to around 11-12 FPS at 1080p on the Radeon RX 9070 XT. The modder’s latest Alpha v0.2.7 update has clawed back roughly 12%, pushing it to about 30 FPS, still a steep cost for a card that handles native rendering well. The reason this works at all is quite straightforward. DLSS 5 runs on FP8 math, and AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, which powers the RX 9000 series, has native FP8 support, just like NVIDIA’s RTX 50-series and 40-series cards.<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/a> \"\"\/<\/a> As we noted in our DLSS 5 preview<\/a>, NVIDIA has been firm that the feature is Blackwell-only for now, even as modders got it running on RTX 40-series<\/a> and 30-series cards<\/a> within days of the leak. NVIDIA has since confirmed that support for the RTX 40-series is in the works<\/a>, which is understandable, since those cards also support FP8. The AMD support is early and unofficial, so don’t expect this to be a practical way to play anytime soon. However, it’s another sign that NVIDIA’s neural rendering tech is spreading faster and wider than the company planned for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A modder has ported DLSS 5 Neural Rendering onto an AMD GPU for the first time, less than…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":880427,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":["post-880426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=880426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/880426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/880427"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=880426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=880426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=880426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
