This version of DLSS is a higher version number than the one included with Rainbow Six Siege (although the modified date seems older than 2.2.6.0..?) - still, it's newer than the ones included with Metro Exodus and Doom Eternal and it's available directly from Nvidia here:

https://developer.nvidia.com/dlss/unreal-engine-plugin

Download the UE4 archive and you'll find it in 06172021-DLSS-UE4-Plugin\DLSS\Binaries\ThirdParty\Win64

Works great in Doom Eternal!
 
Maybe you should have included "Unreal Engine plugin" as at first glance looks like you can improve DLSS on a card just with a download where as its nothing to do with upgrading the hardware its the Unreal Engine implementation of DLSS support. :)

Yes, it's a download for a UE plugin, but the included nvngx_dlss.dll will work with any* game that uses DLSS 2.x as a drop-in replacement.

*not actually tested :D although it works just fine in Cyberpunk, Metro Exodus and Doom Eternal.

Nope - DLSS is shipped with the games as a DLL (nvgx_dlss.dll) - games using DLSS 2.x (Control, Cyberpunk and anything more recent) can be updated to a newer version of DLSS by simply replacing that DLL.

Does Red Dead Redemtion 2 use it thanks?


Also, for installation, is it just uzip files in the game execulable folder?
 
Not yet, but I believe an update to RDR2 is coming that does use DLSS (although by the time it comes out, I imagine it'll ship with a newer version of DLSS).

Tested and does not work, at least for Anthem as that's what I tested.

There are 2 files in the game's folder:
Nvgx_dlss.dll
Nvgx_dlisp.dll

Only the first file comes with the DLSS update and it fails so in game the dlls option is greyed out.

I'm pretty sure Anthem uses DLSS 1.x - 2.x was a complete redesign by Nvidia and these newer releases aren't compatible with that earlier version of DLSS.

If you right-click on the nvgx_dlss.dll and pick Properties/Details you can see the Product Version.

Anthem probably would have upgraded to DLSS 2.x if they didn't can the project, but the current version is unfortunately v1.x and therefore a very different process i.e. you cannot upgrade to 2.x by swapping the dll's.

Can't get the box to stay checked for Metro Exodus either, so doesn't work for that too
 
It will be interesting if someone tries this version in other games like CP 2077 to check the ghosting there, On Alex screenshot it looks as bad as that guy posted a while ago. :)

There's obvious ghosting/smearing in the 2.1.66 version that Doom ships with, but I'm hard pressed to see (in Alex's image) what the issue with 2.2.9 is vs 2.2.6? Marginally softer maybe?

In terms of actual in-game testing - all I can say is that both Doom and Metro look terrific with 2.2.9 and 2.2.6 - don't take my word though - try 'em.

*Edit* OK, after some pixel-peeping I can see it now - some ghosting in Alex's shot of 2.2.9 - much better than 2.1.66 but not as clean as 2.2.6.
 
Cyberpunk2077 must be the worst game I've played for a long time. The Braindance Editor is just a total waste of time. Very boring and time wasting game.

Nvidia had even fixed the game not to work with good a fps without DLSS, bad for gaming and AMD.

Update: The DLSS 2.0 does work for this game, it looks better. It looks very good. Maybe just as good as without DLSS and with better framerate .
