Modder runs Nvidia DLSS 5 on secondary GPU for major FPS boost

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A modder has developed a technique to run Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering on a secondary GPU, effectively offloading the computationally intensive post-processing. This method, demonstrated on games like Cyberpunk 2077, allows the primary GPU to focus solely on rendering the game, leading to significant performance boosts of up to 127% in neural-rendered frames. While not officially supported by Nvidia and requiring a dual-GPU setup with an extra display, the mod is available on GitHub for users to experiment with, reminiscent of older dedicated PhysX hardware. AI

IMPACT This mod demonstrates a novel approach to offloading AI-driven rendering tasks, potentially inspiring future hardware or software optimizations for AI-accelerated gaming.

RANK_REASON This is a third-party mod for an existing technology, not a release from a frontier lab or a significant industry event.

    Astonishing mod runs DLSS 5 on a second GPU to boost neural-rendered FPS up to 127% — game renders on one card, neural post-processing runs on the other, much like dedicated PhysX GPUs

    A modder has created a ReShade add-on that runs Nvidia's DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on a second GPU, rendering the game on the first GPU to share the performance load.
