New Mod Transforms RTX 30 Series Performance in Cyberpunk 2077 with FSR3 Frame Generation Upgrade
Players can now activate advanced frame generation technology, boosting performance in games previously lacking official FSR3 support.
FSR3’s Recent Open Source Release Empowers Players and Developers to Integrate Advanced Graphics Tech with the open sourcing of FSR3, gamers and developers now have immediate access to implement this technology in software. Early adopters are already seeing mods for games like The Last Of Us Part 1 and Cyberpunk 2077, which awaits official FSR3 integration.
Despite the delay in official support, modders have stepped in to enable the substitution of NVIDIA’s DLSS Frame Generation with AMD’s FSR3 in various titles. While this workaround offers enhanced gaming experience, it’s important to note that it may not match the performance of native implementations and could lead to visual inconsistencies, glitches, and a diminished overall experience. Additionally, universal mods designed for ‘all’ games might encounter compatibility issues with certain titles.
Enabling Frame Generation in Single-Player Games: Exploring AMD’s AFMF Option for single-player gaming enthusiasts, an alternative to consider is AMD’s AFMF (Fluid Motion Frames) technology. This driver-level solution offers a parallel experience to Frame Generation and is user-friendly.
However, it’s important to note that native Frame Generation implementations typically deliver superior performance, and AFMF is only compatible with AMD GPUs. In the meantime, for those with different hardware, innovative mods are emerging. One such example is Nukem9’s ‘DLSSG-TO-FSR3’ mod, a complimentary tool that’s readily available for download. This contrasts with some mods that are monetized through platforms like Patreon.
Mod Installation Guidelines from the Creator:
- Possess a current Nvidia RTX graphics card and ensure drivers are up to date.
- Activate Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling in Windows Settings.
- Position the mod within your game’s main folder.
- Initiate your game, go to settings to turn off vertical sync (V-Sync), and then enable frame generation.
- To counteract screen tearing while maintaining frame generation, access the Nvidia Control Panel, select ‘Manage 3D settings’, and turn on ‘Vertical sync’ for the game in question.
Guide to Implementing DLSSG-TO-FSR3 by AndreasLyUs
- Locate your game’s installation folder, which varies by platform. For Steam games, right-click the game in your library, choose ‘Properties’, then ‘Local files’, and finally ‘Browse’. Navigate to the ‘bin > x64’ folder.
- Obtain the file ‘dissg-to-fsr3-0.3.zip’. Should you encounter issues, consider using an earlier version.
- Transfer the files ‘dissg_to_fsr3_amd_is_better.dll’ and ‘dbghelp.dll’ to the directory identified in the first step. If prompted to replace existing files, confirm the action.
- Start your game. A notification should appear confirming the loading of the ‘dissg-to-fsr3’ mod and its experimental status. If this message doesn’t show, the installation may be incorrect.
- In the game’s settings, the Frame Generation option should now be active. Enable it and choose between DLSS or FSR for upscaling (DLSS is recommended for compatible GPUs, and ray reconstruction can also be activated).
Feedback on DLSSG-TO-FSR3 Mod Across Various Games such as Gamers have found success using the tool with titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3. However, challenges have been noted in games such as Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, Dying Light 2, and Hitman 3. Some players suggest that deactivating features like Reflect or HDR can facilitate mod compatibility in certain games, though this isn’t a guaranteed fix for all issues.
A demonstration from MxBenchmarkPC’s video showcases the effectiveness of the FSR3/DLSSG mod in Cyberpunk 2077. Specifically, on a GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card, the mod is reported to almost double performance:
Stay Updated with GitHub Discussions and Alternative Modding Solutions. It’s advisable to monitor the ‘issue’ section on GitHub, where users frequently share workarounds. Alternatively, exploring paid mods or awaiting updates and fixes from other modding enthusiasts are viable options. Given that it’s only been a brief period since FSR3 was made open source, the advancements and potential seen so far are quite promising.
