With help for FSR 3 rising however nonetheless properly behind DLSS 3, it’s tough for homeowners of older graphics playing cards to escape the sensation that they’re nonetheless on the skin trying in on the sky-high body charges that body era can present. Because of a brand new mod, nevertheless, they needn’t look on with fairly so envious eyes anymore.
A part of the rationale that the likes of the GeForce RTX 4070 Tremendous and its RTX 40 collection siblings dominate discussions relating to the very best graphics card, is due to their native help for Nvidia DLSS Body Technology. This benefit, although, might show much less engaging to homeowners of older GeForce RTX GPUs, with this AMD FSR 3 mod in thoughts.
Created by modder Nukem, ‘DLSSG to FSR 3’ is a free to obtain mod that injects FSR 3 into video games that solely help Nvidia DLSS 3. In doing so, it replaces Nvidia’s answer, enabling older graphics playing cards to get pleasure from the advantages of body era.
Earlier than we get into efficiency good points, it’s price noting that this mod sadly solely helps GeForce RTX graphics playing cards. That is unlucky, on condition that FSR 3 is model agnostic in its native type, and certain symptomatic of the mod itself.
Testing the mod with a GeForce RTX 3080, Alex Battaglia of Digital Foundry noticed efficiency will increase of as much as 73% utilizing DLSSG to FSR 3 in Cyberpunk 2077, boosting body charges from the mid 40s to excessive 70s, utilizing the sport’s RT Overdrive mode. Sure, that’s path tracing operating on a graphics card exterior of the GeForce RTX 40 collection.
Nevertheless, as per the official FSR 3 pointers offered by AMD itself, an optimum expertise with the expertise, “it’s extremely beneficial to be at all times operating at a minimal of ~60 FPS earlier than body era is utilized for an optimum high-quality gaming expertise.” This, fortunately, is feasible with DLSS Tremendous Decision set to ‘Efficiency’ at 1440p, and nonetheless leads to a sizeable 67% enchancment, with body charges pushing triple digits.
Unbelievable as these body charges are, there are some issues to pay attention to. In accordance with Battaglia’s findings, FSR 3 seems to have intermittent points with producing clean body instances which can lead to perceived judder or stuttering. There are additionally minor points with picture constancy, significantly with shadows however they seem simple to largely ignore in gameplay and must be considerably anticipated for a mod.
You possibly can obtain the mod for your self from Nexus Mods, with the set up course of showing easy to comply with. There’s no cause to not give it a whir actually, and it’s an superior instance of how the open-source nature and broad compatibility of FSR 3 can profit older graphics playing cards, particularly in lieu of widespread native adoption of the expertise.
That mentioned, with Starfield AMD FSR 3 help now right here, and with extra video games prone to comply with, we hopefully shouldn’t have to attend too lengthy earlier than the function turns into as prolific (if no more so) than DLSS 3.
