DLSS5-NR v0.8.0

Includes Small and Large models in one DLSS5-NR package, with Standard and Natural presets for each. Choose Small for lower GPU cost or Large for the stronger look of the original model.

Improves Small's intermediate rounding and attention calculations, and optimizes DirectX 12 processing for both models on NVIDIA and Intel Arc. Adds Vulkan safeguards against black output from invalid neural feedback and preserves HDR pixels at zero strength. Existing NR presets continue to select Small after updating.

Requires Borderless Gaming 2.0.12 or newer. Update the app, then reinstall DLSS5-NR through Install from GitHub, or install the attached .fxpkg.

DLSS5-NR v0.7.0

Updates DLSS5-NR to NVIDIA's smaller 310.9.16 model, with lower memory use and a smaller download. GPU processing time is 36–40% lower in 960×960 tests on the RTX 3090 and Intel Arc B580 using DirectX 12 and Vulkan. Includes Standard and Natural presets.

Requires Borderless Gaming 2.0.12 or newer. Update the app, then reinstall DLSS5-NR through Install from GitHub, or install the attached .fxpkg.

DLSS5-NR v0.6.0

Adds an 8×8 Vulkan matrix variant to DLSS5-NR for compatible Intel Arc A-series GPUs.

Requires Borderless Gaming 2.0.12 or newer. Update the app, then reinstall DLSS5-NR through Install from GitHub, or install the attached .fxpkg.

DLSS5-NR v0.5.0

Requires Borderless Gaming 2.0.11 or newer.

Improves performance on Intel Arc GPUs and includes optimizations for NVIDIA GPUs. Includes Standard and Natural presets, with adjustable inference size.

Update Borderless Gaming, then reinstall the effect using Install from GitHub with https://github.com/andrewmd5/bgfx-dlss5-nr, or install the attached .fxpkg directly.

DLSS5-NR v0.4.0

Requires Borderless Gaming 2.0.8 or newer.

DLSS5-NR now runs through BGFX shaders. ONNX, Windows ML and provider installation are no longer used.

• Inference size is adjustable again, from 320 to 1920, with a default of 960.
• Includes Standard and Natural presets, with lighting, tone, structure and strength controls.
• Applies the neural correction to the original-resolution image and preserves its alpha.
• Includes DirectX 12 and Vulkan variants, selected using the GPU's supported matrix operations.

Install or update

Update Borderless Gaming first, then open the effects editor and install from https://github.com/andrewmd5/bgfx-dlss5-nr. Reinstalling replaces the previous NR package and removes its obsolete model files. You can also install the .fxpkg below directly.

On Windows, use Clone mode. GPU support depends on the graphics API and driver: DirectX requires Shader Model 6.10 and compatible matrix operations; Vulkan requires compatible cooperative-matrix operations. BGFX checks these requirements before enabling the effect.

DLSS5-NR v0.3.0

Updated DLSS5-NR for Borderless Gaming 2.0.0 and BGFX's new machine-learning backend.

BGFX prepares the effect for your GPU during installation and automatically selects compatible acceleration. The package includes a default preset and a Natural preset, with controls for strength, lighting, tone and structure.

Updating from an earlier version

Reinstall this effect after updating Borderless Gaming. Updating the app alone does not replace the older DLSS5-NR package.

1. Update to Borderless Gaming 2.0.0 or newer.
2. Open the effects editor and choose Install from GitHub.
3. Paste https://github.com/andrewmd5/bgfx-dlss5-nr and complete installation.

You can also download DLSS5-NR-v0.3.0.fxpkg below and install it from a local file.

Requires a supported GPU and graphics driver. Performance varies by hardware.
