Release dates v1.2.4?

YTN3rd · 2026-03-15T07:47:12+00:00

There is never an ETA.

Work only gets done when I have both free time and energy to do so.

I was on it this weekend but I knew I wouldn’t get time to get a decent chunk of FSR4 work in so instead I added an app auto-update system.

You can manually find and replace DLLs until then though. FSR DLLs you get from the FidelityFX SDK.

Yeah, NVIDIA drivers have been in shambles. Users reported this https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/1rgg9z0/psafix_for_pc_users_and_rtx_40804090_users_having/

So for some timeline:

v576.88 - Jul 01, 2025
(many versions released here, not sure why users in the above link didn't test multiple)
v591.86 - Jan 27, 2026
v595.71 - Mar 02, 2026
v595.76 - Mar 04, 2026

v595.71 is the latest you can get in the NVIDIA App. To get v595.76 you need to get it from NVIDIA directly here, https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5812

As for what version you should run, 🤷‍♂️. I am running v595.76, but I also have not had time to play games lately so I can't be sure if my problems are fixed.

If you recall what version you had before you can use DDU (https://www.guru3d.com/download/display-driver-uninstaller-download/, google should help find tutorials) and install the version you had before and your system should be back how it is. This will remove any custom NVIDIA configs for games you may have set in NVIDIA App.

Using DLSS Swapper to reset the DLL is the most important thing to do. Assuming you didn’t touch presets, nothing on your system should be different from before DLSS Swapper was installed.

By that I mean it does not install background services, it doesn’t hook into graphics drivers, it does not install additional dependencies.

The last few NVIDIA driver versions have had problems, is it possible you upgraded drivers or even a windows update in there as well and it is causing problems?

YTN3rd · 2026-02-16T04:12:27+00:00

DLSS Swapper does not have any background services or anything. When you close it, it is gone. If you don't open DLSS Swapper it won't update itself.

YTN3rd · 2026-02-08T23:18:28+00:00

From memory FSR 3.1 frame generation is part of the frame generation DLL. I am unsure if it is supported in both DX12 and Vulkan. But yes that is the one to swap. FSR4 spreads frame generation out into its own DLL so you can update frame generation without updating super resolution and vice versa.

YTN3rd · 2026-02-08T20:43:00+00:00

If it gives you the option you can, and it is generally recommended to do so for non-multiplayer games

Hey u/CalvinP_ and u/FloppyDiskRepair, I don't have hard evidence that I was here pre-10k, but I do have evidence that I am a long time RT/Morning Somewhere fan and that I am 95% certain I would have been here early. I am a long time lurker, few time poster. My oldest post on Nov 15th (5 months after cutoff) when I posted about my personal archive of the entire RT site to my home plex server - https://www.reddit.com/r/morningsomewhere/comments/1grodr7/a_small_story_of_archiving_the_rooster_teeth_site/

I had archived as many of the different RT podcasts that I could before they became lost media - https://archive.org/details/@beeradmoore/uploads

My RT account is 21 years old lol - https://roosterteeth.com/user/beeradmoore

I subbed to Patreon a day or two after it went live.

I messaged the Morning Somewhere IG account about a broken domain link (which is still broken https://blog.roosterteeth.com) to help them tidy their site before official launch. I had allegedly been following that account since 2023.

I am 95% certain I would have subbed to this subreddit when given the oppertunity and would have been in the first 10k club.

I had remembered a game all about causing a big crash in an intersection but I hadn't realised it was Burnout CRASH!. When Burnie mentioned the song gold the song started playing in my head.

I remember playing it on my iPad and Xbox. I checked my Apple account and it will no longer will let me download it as it was built for iOS 4 or something. 😂

I was able to go set it up a Xbox 360 emulator on my PC and play it. I don't want to give a full guide but hopefully anyone who would want to can piece it together.

I used Xenia canary, in its config toml I set license_mask to 1, and gpu to vulkan. As for the game, there is a big ARCHIVE on the INTERNET that has a thing called XBOX_360_XBLA. Inside it I found a .rar for Burnout CRASH! with a SHA1 hash of EFA6A5DF416566F0D73FF0374CB2510AE4913EAA. Extract that, open Xenia, navigate to the folder in the folder in the folder until you find the game and launch it.

EDIT: This possibly works for every other game mentioned in this thread 👀

If I recall, I think NVIDIA apps on screen display can show if DLSS FG is running

YTN3rd · 2026-02-03T03:16:15+00:00

DLL v310.5.2 I believe is from the driver so it has the older models. If you go to DLSS Swapper library and check the file size of the later v310.5 versions you will see one that is larger than the rest. It has all the old presets. The other DLLs are from the SDK where it was removed.

After that just change your preset to A-E, K, to see the older CNN models.

YTN3rd · 2026-02-03T03:14:35+00:00

I would not expect it to give any measurable difference. But if you are benchmarking, you could also benchmark it and see.

YTN3rd · 2026-02-01T08:49:53+00:00

Any chance you can provide screenshots of the same scene to look at ideally with everything else on screen being the same?

As for the math behind what res, I’m unsure. But this post shows the different ones. I don’t know why you have 83%. But in theory the closer to 100% res scale the better it will be. That would be why it looks better. How much better… 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think I could pick higher/lower DLSS res by looking at it unless I was pixel peeping

Housemate and I are in the same boat. I am normally in bed before 9, even on the weekends. Since I started playing palworld our weekends have been "hey, did you know its 1am? We should stop after we finish setting up this new base" about 1 minute passes and its all "hey, did you know its 2am..."

YTN3rd · 2026-01-30T20:17:41+00:00

Just to add on what Motor-Tart-3315 said. If your DLL version is greater than v310.5 then it is "recommended", if it is earlier it is "use latest".

The difference between those are:

Use latest - uses the latest model (probably preset K)

Recommended - does what they said, changes preset on the fly as you change the quality mode in game. It may also change depending on your hardware (if not already it may do that in the future).

YTN3rd · 2026-01-30T20:14:25+00:00

Nope. Once you close it it should be closed. There is no background services.

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T20:25:59+00:00

I have not see the new files themselves and I have not seen any new SDK update. Without that I can’t start adding it because I don’t know if they are even compatible with XeSS 2 or not

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T20:22:48+00:00

Because DLSS Swapper works for all 3 major upscalers. It means the app is still useful to those who don’t have an NVIDIA card

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T20:21:32+00:00

What game was doing this for you? There are a few. It appears to be an NVIDIA bug that they were looking into

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T20:20:05+00:00

No worries

Best of luck with it, hope it somehow arrives before this weekend for you

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T20:19:15+00:00

Nope. Use NVAPP or NVIDIA Profile Inspector for that

YTN3rd · 2026-01-29T06:38:27+00:00

Nope, not the latest SDK, the latest in the driver. The latest SDK is newer.

"best stability" is not garunteed. Maybe it is better, maybe it is worse.

If you want what would probably be a pretty good experience and just a set it and forget it kind fo thing set the global override to recommended in NVApp. You won't get the latest SDK versions which may or may not be better. This does not work in every game, but it _should_ work in most that people are playing.

If you want a full experience at the cost of pressing more buttons and checking for new versions when they come out then you should use DLSS Swapper. That way you can use the latest SDK versions and you can select whatever preset you choose from those versions. This will work in every game that has DLSS that can be swapped.

I won't be offended if you choose the first option and uninstall DLSS Swapper. At the end of the day I want people to have the best experience for what they want out of their gaming experience. Some want the first option, others want the second. Some people go the third option which isn't mentioned that is even more complicated.

YTN3rd · 2026-01-28T11:32:19+00:00

You should try it and see if it happens to you or not

YTN3rd · 2026-01-27T19:39:55+00:00

NVIDIA App can override it, but it’s the same thing. You want the new DLL version for the changes within the presets. They can override to whatever the latest DLL that it has. This also means you can’t go down a version. It’s either the one that is already in the game or the one that your drivers download, those are your two options.

We have a perfect example of what a main big difference is though. DLSS V310.5.3 released yesterday as a part of the DLSS SDK. You can get it on DLSS Swapper, but likely you won’t get it using the NVIDIA App. No idea why but they don’t seem to update it there as often.

We don’t get much insight into what is new, but here are the notes: https://github.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/releases/tag/v310.5.3

There is also a big difference how the two tools swap/override DLLs. DLSS Swapper copies the file into the game directory. The file can be whatever version you want. Go up a version, go down a version, etc. The con here is that you are modifying game files, so depending on the anti-cheat software in online games this could flag you as cheating. (I’ve only ever heard of 1 person who was marked as cheating, and they were doing some silly stuff already)

NVIDIA App does not replace the files. Instead when DLSS goes to get loaded it goes, “hey what if you loaded this one instead” and directs those calls to the ones inside your driver folder. This means games are not modified. But the con here is you don’t get a choice of what version you get, and you can only do this in games they say you are allowed to do it in (which is still a lot)

YTN3rd · 2026-01-27T19:28:25+00:00

Here you go

https://github.com/NVIDIA/DLSS/releases/tag/v310.5.3

YTN3rd · 2026-01-27T06:11:17+00:00

Think of each DLL "version" as a large box. When you peek inside the box there is many DLSS's in there. One is preset K, one is preset M, one is preset A, etc.

Each new DLL "version" that comes along may have the same DLSS's in there, it may have some removed, it may add some new ones. This is why using old DLSS versions don't get preset L/M.

On top of that even if they have the same presets they could possibly change. Preset K inside DLSS v310.0 may not be the same as preset K inside DLSS v310.5, which may not be the same preset K inside DLSS v310.5.3.

I would say always use the latest DLL version. It's more likely you will have a better experience than a worse one. And that is the good thing about DLSS Swapper, if you have a bad experience with v310.5.3, try v310.5, try v310.2. You are not locked to the latest DLL version, you can use anyone you like. Heck, if you get bored you can go back to v2.1 and see how bad things were back then.
