In a significant development for gaming enthusiasts, a new mod has emerged, breaking the boundaries set by Nvidia’s DLSS 3. While DLSS 3 is limited to RTX 40 Series GPUs, this mod enables AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3) in any game that supports DLSS 3, irrespective of the GPU brand. This opens up a world of possibilities for enhanced gaming experiences across various platforms.
Breaking the DLSS 3 Barrier
Nvidia’s DLSS 3 technology, renowned for its AI frame generation capabilities, was confined to RTX 40 Series graphics cards. In contrast, AMD FSR 3 promised compatibility with any modern GPU, regardless of the brand. However, many popular games only supported DLSS 3, leaving FSR 3 users with limited options.
The mod, crafted by Nukem9, now allows gamers to leverage FSR 3 in titles that were previously exclusive to DLSS 3. This not only broadens the scope of frame generation technologies but also extends the benefits to a wider audience, including those without RTX 40 Series GPUs.
How the Mod Works
To utilize this breakthrough, users need to download the mod developed by Nukem9 and ensure hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling (HAGS) is enabled in Windows 11 settings. This mod democratizes the accessibility of AI frame generation, enabling users with GPUs from Nvidia, AMD, or Intel to experience improved in-game performance.
User Experiences and Potential Drawbacks
Early tests of the mod have been promising but come with certain caveats. Initial reports suggest that while the mod provides an alternative for FSR 3 in DLSS 3 games, it may not match the native functionality. Users have reported varying experiences in different games, with some encountering issues such as ghosting, artifacts, and visual bugs during gameplay.
The Future of FSR 3 and Open-Source Technologies
AMD FSR 3 updates are frequent, expanding game support with each release. Major titles like Ubisoft’s Avatar have embraced FSR 3, and developers of Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 have confirmed official support in the near future. As open-source frame generation technologies evolve, the gaming landscape is poised for continuous improvement.
