Both figures are the creator's own, and the 64% comparison covers one game against unnamed \"other mods\", so treat it as a pointer rather than a benchmark.\n\nThe starting point matters. A different DLSS 5 mod tested on a Radeon RX 9070 XT managed nine frames per second in Cyberpunk 2077 at 4K with ray tracing on Ultra and FSR 4 set to Balanced. A 64% gain on a number that low would still leave the game short of playable, though the two tests use different games and settings and cannot be compared directly.\n\nPart of the problem is DLSS 5 itself. In NBA 2K27, an RTX 5080 lost up to 73% of its frame rate at 4K with the feature on, with sizable drops at lower resolutions too. If Nvidia's own hardware pays that price, a port to another vendor's cards was never going to be free.\n\nThe creator's list of supported games is long: Cyberpunk 2077, The Witcher 3 (DirectX 12 version only), Red Dead Redemption 2, Final Fantasy XVI, Monster Hunter Wilds, Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced (offline story mode) and others. Several entries require picking FSR 2 or XeSS as the in-game upscaler, which suggests the mod hooks into those slots. Installation is a downloaded installer that adds, updates or removes the mod in one click.\n\nSome Reddit commenters said image quality is poor with the mod on, a fair warning for anything unofficial.\n\nThe larger question is whether DLSS 5 can ever be cheap enough to matter on any card. A mod that speeds it up on Radeon hardware is useful only if the starting point was a feature people want to run at a real frame rate.","[\"amd\",\"nvidia\",\"dlss\",\"mods\"]","2026-11-10T16:53:20.000Z","2026-11-10T17:54:35.637Z","2026-11-10T17:54:37.904Z","published",null,[],"hardware",[26,27,28,29],"amd","nvidia","dlss","mods",[31],{"name":32,"url":33},"PCGamer","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.pcgamer.com\u002Fhardware\u002Fgraphics-cards\u002Famdlss5-gets-nvidias-neural-rendering-running-on-amd-graphics-cards-and-claims-64-percent-better-performance-than-other-mods\u002F",0,{"sections":36},[37,42,47,52,57,62,66,71,76,81,86,91,96,101],{"name":38,"slug":39,"count":40,"latest_published_at":41},"AI","ai",7144,"2026-11-12T13:27:45.000Z",{"name":43,"slug":44,"count":45,"latest_published_at":46},"Security","security",1128,"2026-11-11T18:05:00.000Z",{"name":48,"slug":49,"count":50,"latest_published_at":51},"Deals","deals",642,"2026-11-12T14:00:00.000Z",{"name":53,"slug":54,"count":55,"latest_published_at":56},"Policy","policy",619,"2026-11-12T12:53:36.000Z",{"name":58,"slug":59,"count":60,"latest_published_at":61},"Consumer Tech","consumer-tech",364,"2026-11-12T11:12:32.000Z",{"name":63,"slug":24,"count":64,"latest_published_at":65},"Hardware",336,"2026-11-12T11:24:43.000Z",{"name":67,"slug":68,"count":69,"latest_published_at":70},"Science","science",230,"2026-11-12T10:00:00.000Z",{"name":72,"slug":73,"count":74,"latest_published_at":75},"Software","software",168,"2026-11-11T17:36:49.000Z",{"name":77,"slug":78,"count":79,"latest_published_at":80},"Startups","startups",159,"2026-11-11T12:30:00.000Z",{"name":82,"slug":83,"count":84,"latest_published_at":85},"Dev Tools","dev-tools",127,"2026-11-11T19:00:44.000Z",{"name":87,"slug":88,"count":89,"latest_published_at":90},"General","general",118,"2026-11-11T16:49:42.000Z",{"name":92,"slug":93,"count":94,"latest_published_at":95},"Gaming","gaming",107,"2026-11-12T10:09:03.000Z",{"name":97,"slug":98,"count":99,"latest_published_at":100},"Reviews","reviews",38,"2026-10-20T12:00:00.000Z",{"name":102,"slug":103,"count":104,"latest_published_at":105},"How-To","how-to",8,"2026-10-05T09:00:00.000Z"]
