Community developers have created continue to develop experimental mods to enable NVIDIA’s DLSS upscaling technologies on AMD Radeon graphics cards. Initial efforts centered on a Windows-based mod titled ‘DLSS-NR on AMD’. This project, hosted on GitHub, is a reimplementation of the neural network runtime for AMD architectures, targeting the Radeon RX 7000 and RX 9000 series. Early alpha testing on Cyberpunk 2077 demonstrated performance increases, such as raising frame rates from approximately 30 fps to 50 fps on an RX 9070 XT at 3440 x 1440 resolution. Subsequent developments through While the ‘d4r’ (DLSS for Radeon) project expanded support to include DLSS 4 and 4.5. This iteration specifically targets has focused on Linux and Proton environments for DirectX 12 games and supports AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture. While testing on the Radeon RX 7700 XT showed performance levels slightly below AMD’s FSR 4 in some scenarios, the mod currently only supports Super Resolution upscaling, excluding features like frame generation and Ray Reconstruction. Recent updates to the d4r project by architectures, developer ‘countervolts’ have introduced experimental support for AMD’s RDNA 4 architecture, specifically targeting Daniel Blanco has released version 0.8.0 of the Radeon 9000 series. ‘DLSS-NR-on-AMD’ mod. This allows update significantly expands functionality for the compilation of native Windows users, supporting nearly all modern DLSS 4 features including Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, Frame Generation, and DLSS 4.5 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 hardware RDNA 3 and RDNA 4 hardware, such as the Radeon RX 9060 7000 and 9070. Although the project remains a proof of concept with limited hardware verification beyond the RX 7700 XT, it continues to explore bringing advanced upscaling 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 non-NVIDIA hardware. This development occurs operate the mod. These developments occur alongside broader industry shifts, such as technical shifts in the industry. Recent analyses of NVIDIA’s DLSS 5, where 5 on the GeForce RTX 5080 indicate that its transition to ‘3D-Guided Neural Rendering’ has been noted to increase increases GPU power consumption depending 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.
