Architecture

🏛️ FrameBridge Architecture

The diagram below illustrates how FrameBridge integrates the core OptiScaler engine and Nukem9's mod via an all-in-one installer to bridge the gap between native game requests and your hardware capabilities.

Loading

How it works

1. Input: The game natively attempts to load upscaling/frame generation technologies (like DLSS).
2. Installer: Instead of manually moving files, the FrameBridge Installer drops the required interception DLLs (like version.dll) directly into your game directory.
3. Core Engines: The injection DLL loads the powerful OptiScaler and DLSSG-to-FSR3 engines in the background.
4. Output: These engines translate the proprietary game requests into open standards (like FSR or XeSS) that run smoothly on your specific AMD, Intel, or NVIDIA graphics card.
