DLSSG To FSR3: Frame Gen Modded For RTX 20/30 Series GPUs... But How Good Is It?

What if every game that supports DLSS 3 frame generation could work on RTX 20/30 Series GPUs? Would you need to upgrade your RTX 3080 for Cyberpunk 2077 RT Overdrive if frame-gen was available? That's the enticing opportunity offered by DLSSG to FSR3. This is currently an Nvidia-only solution that patches DLSS 3 frame-gen in all supported games, using FSR3 to deliver the frame generation component. Alex Battaglia tests it out.

Never thought the time would come where I could download more FPS.

This is going to give 30-series user a massive boost. Also, more likely to shy away from the 40-series which can be good thing.

“I think this is pretty cool” bro this mod is a completely game changer. I’m playing Cuberpunk on my 3080ti at 171fps

If you have an RTX 30 series or even a 20 series, congratulations, this is literally just free performance. Bless this modder!

Just a note on the hair artifact issues, in Alan Wake 2 at least, that can be fixed. In the game's ini file, you have to set bLensDistortion to false. I don't know what other effects that has, but the game looks perfectly fine to me

Thanks to your video, I tested the mod for a few minutes (only) on the Witcher 3 RT and cyberpunk PT and it's really transformative! With dlss in conjunction with FSR 3, I'm now quite hopeful with running future demanding titles for a few years.

Thanks a bunch!

I played thru AW2 with this mod+DLSS on the 2080ti and it really improved the experience

LukeFZ has released a mod to replace FSR 2 with FSR 3 Frame Generation, and it works with older cards.

Makes me believe Nvidia could easily enable DLSS 3 frame gen on any RTX. But they choose not to.

[Code-n-Flame]

I used it with my 3080 12GB to play through AW2 Final Draft. 1440p DLSS quality, high settings and even RT turned on and averaged 100-120 FPS through the entire game. It's was absolutely amazing.

why did you not post a link in description?

[atypicalnihilist]

Note that you'll have to disable a lot of post processing effects like lens distortion, vignette, chromatic aberration, depth of field and motion blur to remove a lot of the artefacts from frame generation.

Oh hey Im using this mod for Cyberpunk. What a godsend it is. All the Raytracing settings turned on. Graphics to high. 4k. DLSS perf. And I'm still getting 80 fps on the 3090. Downloading free FPS. Imagine that.

@DigitalFoundry should cover Lossless Scaling with Frame Generation next.

The ghosting in Alan Wake can be fixed. I don't remember how to do it off the top of my head but its just a file you need to edit.

[UberDeck]

Been using the LukeFZ Mod on Steam Deck which works with any GPU. Of the Multiple games I tested it works perfectly in Withcer 3, Lords of the Fallen 2, Robocop Rouge City, Ratchet and Clank. In other games there's UI Ghosting and double image that appears when you pan around. I will be testing more games soon

I exhibited the frame-time issue in Assassins Creed Odyssey, I was getting a consistent 60fps but it was still stuttering one hour, and the next time I started, it was gone. I spent days trying everything I could think of and every settings combination in game, in drivers, Nvidia Profile inspector, different fps limiters. It drove me nuts. The I disabled Hyperthreading as a last ditch attempt and it fixed it. The stutter was gone and it was gone forever!

EDIT: Just to add that over the years in general testing and observance, I think I have only ever seen better performance in a game with Hyperthreading enabled once (Cyberpunk), and even then it was negligible. In my experience it has only ever added stuttering. I think HT is best utilised when rendering video/3d, computational activity in the background etc.

I have a 2080, and I have to say that this mod is downright magic for me his card. Something like The Witcher 3 runs at about 45 fps with the basic RT settings on. It doesn't feel great to play at that frame rate. With this mod though I get 90+ fps and it feels fantastic. Seriously gives new new life to this aging card.

Also tried it with Starfield and Cyberpunk 2077 and it was the same story there, absolutely incredible stuff!

All hail modders! Thank you for bringing more life to my RTX 3070.
