Developer Daniel Blanco has released version 0.8.0 of the DLSS-NR-on-AMD mod. This update enables full support for all four NVIDIA DLSS technologies, including Ray Reconstruction and Multiframe Generation 4X, on AMD RDNA3 and RDNA4 hardware.
Why it matters
The project allows users with non-NVIDIA hardware to access advanced upscaling features typically reserved for specific GPUs. By using custom DLL files, the mod bridges the gap between hardware architectures for enhanced graphical performance.
Version 0.8.0 requires users to supply their own NVIDIA DLSS DLL files to function. Testing on a Radeon RX 9070 XT at 1440p showed a performance impact of 4 to 10 fps when using path tracing, while 1080p performance reached 90-100 FPS.
The players
Daniel Blanco
He is the software developer responsible for creating and maintaining the DLSS-NR-on-AMD modification project.
The details
The mod functions by porting NVIDIA's proprietary upscaling and frame generation logic to an all-AMD system. While current support is limited to RDNA3 and RDNA4 architectures, development is currently focused on extending compatibility to the Radeon 6000 Series.
Timeline
The mod update was released as of October 20, 2026.
A broader surge of NVIDIA DLSS-related software modifications occurred last month.
The Tech Race
This project represents an effort to democratize access to NVIDIA Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) technology across different hardware platforms. It extends the reach of this technology by enabling its use on non-NVIDIA hardware, marking a departure from the platform-exclusive nature of the original software.
Users can potentially boost visual fidelity in games like Cyberpunk 2077 by enabling these advanced settings on their AMD cards. However, players should be aware that anti-cheat software may block the mod, potentially risking account access in online games.
The takeaway
This mod highlights a growing trend of enthusiasts bypassing hardware exclusivity to improve graphical performance. Users should carefully weigh the potential for increased visual quality against the risk of conflicts with game security measures.
