Learn how the experimental DLSS Enabler mod mimics NVIDIA DLSS on AMD and Intel GPUs to enhance frame rates and image quality in games like Cyberpunk 2077.

In the world of computer gaming and graphics, new tools are constantly emerging to enhance image quality and frame rates. One such solution is the experimental DLSS Enabler mod, which mimics the upscaling and multi-frame generation functions of DLSS on video cards that support DirectX 12.

While NVIDIA's official DLSS technology is only available for RTX 50 series cards, DLSS Enabler allows users to try similar effects on other GPUs, including AMD and Intel, provided they use third-party tools like OptiScaler. The mod works by replacing certain game files and doesn't require full hardware support from the graphics card, though installation demands careful attention and several manual steps.

Initial tests indicate that the mod proves particularly useful for single-player games, boosting frame rates through multi-frame generation. At the same time, users should be aware that results can vary, and in online games, DLSS Enabler might trigger anti-cheat systems and lead to account bans.

Examples of its use include games with DLSS 2 and DLSS 3 support, such as Cyberpunk 2077, where the mod demonstrated the potential for three- and four-frame multi-frame generation. However, developers note that visual artifacts remain noticeable, and image quality doesn't always surpass the standard capabilities of FSR 3.1.

Overall, the picture is straightforward: DLSS Enabler offers an intriguing option for enthusiasts looking to explore new ways to enhance PC graphics, but it requires cautious handling and an understanding of the risks involved.
