AMD FSR 3 Mod for DLSS Implementation: Compatibility, Performance, and Drawbacks

In late September, AMD released its answer to Nvidia’s image interpolation technology DLSS frame generation in the form of FSR 3. However, the implementation of the technology has been relatively slow, and currently there is only official support in a total of four games. Last week, however, the company released the FSR 3 which Open source codeand as expected, it wasn’t long before modders started using this to create their own implementations of the technology in games.

One of those modders is Nukem9 who has released the mod dlssg-to-fsr3 on Github. As the name suggests, it’s about a method to hook image interpolation with FSR 3 in games that already have DLSS frame generation implemented, where in practice you replace the latter technology with AMD’s ditto. This is done via a modified version of the nvngx.dll program library used for DLSS in games, where it instead calls FSR 3 when DLSS frame generation is activated.

However, the mod does not come without its drawbacks, one of the biggest of which is that it requires a graphics card from the Geforce RTX family. The reason for this is that Nvidia’s framework Streamline used for the mod simply does not work with other graphics card families. In addition to this, HDR is not supported, and whoever chooses to enable it will in most cases be met with crashes.

The FSR 3 mod works with Cyberpunk 2077, among others.

The developer and several users have tested the mod in Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 with relatively good results. The method also seems to work for several other games that currently have DLSS frame generation implemented, but the visual output and general stability can vary greatly depending on the title.
