📋 About This Mod

! Warning !

This is a proof of concept to see if such a mod is even feasible. Expect bugs!

This mod attempts to replace DLSS with FidelityFx Super Resolution 2. 2. The mod is still in development, but early results are already quite impressive: My GTX 1080 is able to run Cyberpunk in 4k with about ~45 FPS which is a 2x improvement compared to the native 4k performance while having a very minor quality impact. Also, yes! this is mod is compatible with any AMD, Intel, and Nvidia GPU that can handle Cyberpunk.

How does this work?

Both FSR 2 and Nvidia DLSS are temporal upscalers and work (except for some minor differences) very similar. This means that both systems need similar data to work. Luckily, NVIDIA publishes its DLSS implementation as a dynamic library ( a dll file). This allows us to simply replace the DLL in question with our own version that is able to translate NVIDIA DLSS to FSR 2 commands. API reimplementations like Wine or DXVK work in a similar way.

Installation

  • []Extract the Archive into the Cyberpunk Folder so that the nvngx.dll is in the same folder as the main EXE file. (Don't use Vortex. The plugin has some problems with dlls it doesn't know...)

    []Very important: Run the included "EnableSignatureOverride.reg" file. (Accept the admin prompt that pops up)

    []Launch the game, go into the graphics options and select a "DLSS" setting.

    []Play the game with FSR 2.

    Uninstallation

    • []Remove all installed DLL Files.

      []Run the "DisableSignatureOverride.reg" file as admin.

      FAQ

      • []Is it possible to add this hack to other games?

      Yes, any game that uses DLSS 2. 0 should work with this technique (after a bit of work).

      • []I am using DLSS. Should I download this mod?

      You don't need to. The included DLSS version works a lot better than this hack. I made this for people with incompatible GPUs who need to resort to FSR 1. 0.

      • []Does this hack work with the Steam Deck/Linux?

      Yes! I just tested the new version with my Steam Deck and the game looks awesome.

      • []Is this mod compatible with Overlay XYZ?

      I tested the mod with Cyber Engine Tweaks and SpecialK and didn't experience any issues. Your overlay/reshade will probably work as well.

      • Is this implementation of FSR 2 representative of a native implementation by the developers?

      No, I am ca
