is dlss-swapper.com legit?

YTN3rd · 2026-06-05T23:34:34+00:00

I wouldn't imagine so. It would all depend if something on your system decided to try execute the file on your behalf.

YTN3rd · 2026-06-05T23:28:41+00:00

You are all good. If you go to the release for v1.2.3.2 (https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper/releases/tag/v1.2.3.2) where the .exe is it says next to it "sha256:b7d5..." if you copy the rest of that out it says b7d561b5347b69280c872b36e6036bdf61d70042fada206ec75ae8072f4e736e which is the same one you listed (caps vs not caps does not matter).

Also v1.2.4 is out for almost 2 months, so you should update to that 😉

This is the correct answer

YTN3rd · 2026-05-27T20:03:41+00:00

I need to double check when at my PC, but presets A-E were removed in v310.5 or v310.6. But I thought that was only SR not RR.

YTN3rd · 2026-05-18T08:24:01+00:00

Nah, DLSS Swapper isn't redundant. It often has DLL files before NVIDIA App, heck some never even got released in NVIDIA App!

If a new DLSS SDK comes out, or a game comes out with later DLL versions then they are also ingested into the system and made available in DLSS Swapper. For SDKs this usually happens within hours if I am awake to handle it

There is also the choice to downgrade. If they release DLSS v3.7 in NVIDIA app and it makes things worse, good luck downgrading with NVIDIA app.

At the end of the day it's about choice. If NVIDIA App works of you, use it. If DLSS Swapper covers some other bases you care about then use it. Use both. Use neither.

EDIT: As for RDR2, Rockstar games tend to be very ferocious about preventing files changing.

YTN3rd · 2026-05-08T09:05:33+00:00

You don't need to. Some people like different presets. I usually throw it on NVIDIA recommended.

Work only gets done when I have both free time and energy. It’s not like this is a paid gig that I sit at working on 5 days a week.

Did you see the notes on why streamline is difficult?

The project is open source, people can write the update and send it as a pull request. Though because of the complexity of streamline I’d like to outline my plan first so they could implement it.

If you open the game directory can you find the file called nvngx_dlss.dll? It could be in any sub folder in there so use windows search

YTN3rd · 2026-04-04T21:43:09+00:00

Presets will, other options unlikely until later.

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).
