Modder enables Nvidia DLSS 5 on AMD RDNA 4 GPUs

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A modder has successfully enabled Nvidia's DLSS 5 technology on AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs, specifically the RX 9070 XT. While current performance is limited to 30 FPS at 1080p, the mod aims to eventually achieve performance comparable to Nvidia's RTX 5070 Ti. This workaround requires games to support FSR and involves intercepting Nvidia's NGX API calls to run DLSS 5 calculations on AMD hardware. The mod is currently closed-source and has shown some improvement with patches, but performance on non-compatible hardware remains a significant challenge. AI

IMPACT This mod demonstrates the potential for cross-vendor compatibility of AI-driven graphics technologies, though performance limitations highlight hardware-specific optimizations.

RANK_REASON Third-party modification of proprietary technology for use on competing hardware.

    Modder gets Nvidia's DLSS 5 working on AMD's RDNA 4 GPUs — RX 9070 XT only manages 30 FPS at 1080p right now, but 5070 Ti-level performance is the eventual goal

    If you have an RX 9000 series GPU, you can try out DLSS 5 on your PC right now and absolutely destroy the stable performance you were getting before.
