Modders working on bringing NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Neural Rendering to AMD Radeon GPUs<\/a> just had their busiest day yet. The developer behind the DLSS-NR-on-AMD<\/a> tool shipped two new versions within 24 hours, Alpha 0.3.3 and Alpha 0.4.0, together adding roughly 74% performance on Radeon hardware, according to the project’s own GitHub release notes. YouTuber Ancient Gameplays<\/a> tested the update in Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440×1440, and saw framerates climb from around 30 FPS on earlier builds to roughly 50 FPS on Alpha 0.4.0. That’s a big jump for a workaround that started out barely playable. The original mod release had poor performance, but it looks like that’s being addressed.<\/p>\n

The tool works by feeding NVIDIA’s own DLSS 5 DLL<\/a> into Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, and reportedly RX 7000 cards too, intercepting the calls the DLL expects and routing the neural computation onto AMD hardware, since RDNA 4 supports the FP8 math DLSS 5 relies on. Alpha 0.3.3 also added a graphical installer with a built-in settings editor and overlay controls, so getting Neural Rendering running on Radeon apparently no longer means digging through file paths manually. Moreover, just today, the Alpha 0.4.1 update brought another 8% jump in overall performance, and a 9% performance increase under heavy gameplay loads.<\/p>\n

The developer has reportedly told Ancient Gameplays that another major update is coming soon. At this pace, DLSS-NR-on-AMD could eventually get close to NVIDIA’s own implementation, at least on paper. The modding community has been doing some great work ever since the DLSS 5 DLL leaked with NBA 2K27<\/a>. The technology has since been ported over to RTX 40<\/a>, RTX 30<\/a>, RTX 20<\/a>, AMD Radeon, and even Intel integrated graphics<\/a>. As for the AMD implementation, the progress certainly looks promising for an unofficial mod barely a few weeks old.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Modders working on bringing NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Neural Rendering to AMD Radeon GPUs just had their busiest day…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":784679,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[59,86,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-784678","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gb","tag-technology","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784678","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=784678"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/784678\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/784679"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=784678"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=784678"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=784678"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
