AMD Radeon DLSS compatibility modding

Overview

Community developers continue to develop experimental mods to enable NVIDIA’s DLSS upscaling technologies on AMD Radeon graphics cards.

While the ‘d4r’ project has focused on Linux and Proton environments for RDNA 4 architectures, developer Daniel Blanco has released version 0.8.0 of the ‘DLSS-NR-on-AMD’ mod. This update significantly expands functionality for Windows users, supporting nearly all modern DLSS features including Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, and Multi Frame Generation at up to 4x. The mod utilizes AMD-specific HIP kernels and DirectX 12 integration to run NVIDIA’s neural network models on RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 hardware, such as the Radeon RX 7000 and RX 9000 series. A new ‘NeuralHub’ feature provides an in-game overlay for managing these functionalities. Users must provide their own NVIDIA DLSS DLL files to operate the mod.

These developments occur alongside technical shifts in the industry. Recent analyses of NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 on the GeForce RTX 5080 indicate that its transition to ‘3D-Guided Neural Rendering’ increases GPU power consumption, with energy requirements varying based on the specific GPU model and resolution. Meanwhile, the d4r project remains a proof of concept for bringing advanced upscaling to non-NVIDIA hardware through experimental support for RDNA 4 kernels.
