Modders have created new tools that allow users with AMD graphics cards to run Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering technology, according to recent reports. Two projects, DLSS-NR-on-AMD and AMDNR, have simplified the process, with the latter offering a user-friendly interface that manages installation and updates with just a few clicks. This is currently the only way for owners of AMD Radeon cards to access DLSS 5, a feature officially reserved by Nvidia for its GeForce RTX cards and the game NBA 2K27. At first, running DLSS 5 on Radeon cards was possible but not practical, requiring users to manually copy the Nvidia DLL file from a beta version of NBA 2K27. The new AMDNR launcher streamlines this, allowing users to choose between different projects. Developers of AMDNR reported that the time it takes for the neural network to process images on a Radeon RX 7800 XT has dropped from about 73 to 52 milliseconds in 1440p resolution with FSR in Quality mode. For comparison, a game running at 60 frames per second has only 16.7 milliseconds to display each image. The Radeon RX 9000 series is also seeing new optimizations. A YouTuber named Ancient Gameplays reported a jump from about 30 to 50 frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 when using a recent version of DLSS-NR-on-AMD in 3440 x 1440 resolution. However, another source, XDA, noted a significant performance drop, from 90 to less than 20 frames per second in 4K compared to 60 frames per second in 1080p. DLSS-NR on AMD is a Windows mod that enables DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on Radeon RX 9000 cards and is said to work with RX 7000 cards as well. It integrates with DirectX 12 games that support AMD's FSR. The mod was developed by Daniel Blnc and is available on GitHub. It requires placing the installer in the game's executable folder, along with an Nvidia DLL, and running the game with FSR enabled. The project's README file states that users need Windows 11 and Adrenalin 26.1.1 or newer drivers. Games with anti-cheat systems block the injected DLL, so the mod is best suited for single-player games. Benchmarks published on the project's pages show that the results in terms of frames per second are not always consistent. Other similar projects include lmxxf, which is limited to RX 9000 and includes Nvidia weights extracted from a local copy of the DLL, and AMDNR by 3zwr1, which is integrated into OptiScaler. The author of DLSS-NR on AMD requests user feedback and encourages users to send their log files if they encounter bugs. Neither AMD nor Nvidia officially support these mods. AMD's proprietary technology to counter DLSS 5 currently exists only as a rumor. The DLSS 5 demo was poorly received in March due to concerns about its impact on the artistic direction of games, but recent improvements may have addressed some of these issues.
