A small gameplay example of DS III with this modification has been published online. Ganaboy walked through the Crucifixion Woods location.<\/p>\n<p>Dark Souls III was run on a PC with an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 processor, a GeForce RTX 5080 graphics card, and 16 GB of RAM. The game ran at 1440p resolution, with NVIDIA DLSS upscaler set to Quality.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1789864695_86_maxresdefault.jpg\" alt=\"DarkSouls3 Pathtracing - Crucifixion woods(Nvidia DLSS-5 Comparision)\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"absolute inset-0 h-full w-full object-cover\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The modder explained that in NVIDIA DLSS 5, &#8220;pre-upscaling is performed using NRD to remove noise.&#8221; According to Ganaboy, this makes the technology require fewer computational resources.
