A community project has brought Nvidia's complete DLSS 5 feature suite to AMD Radeon graphics cards, with a new update adding Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Ray Reconstruction alongside Neural Rendering for three generations of Radeon hardware.

The DLSS-NR mod, created by developer Daniel Blanco, first launched on September 3, 2026, bringing DLSS 5 Neural Rendering to Radeon GPUs. The latest 0.8.0 update adds the rest of the main DLSS features: Super Resolution 4.5, Frame Generation, Ray Reconstruction and the newest 310.9.16 Neural Rendering model, along with further performance improvements.

AMD has equivalents for most DLSS features, including FSR upscaling, frame generation, ray regeneration and anti-lag, but these are not supported as widely by games as Nvidia's offerings. Neural Rendering, which uses AI models to improve game visuals, is one feature that AMD has no equivalent for, which is why mods like DLSS-NR were created.

The update notes also mention FSR 4.1.1 upscaling, giving the mod a consistent version of FSR to work with instead of having to accommodate the various implementations found across different games.

The mod supports RX 9000, 7000 and 6000 series cards, based on RDNA4, RDNA3 and RDNA2 architectures respectively, in any DirectX 12 game that uses FSR, DLSS or XeSS. It is installed through the NeuralHub mod loader, which detects supported games and provides an overlay for adjusting DLSS settings without leaving the game.

Blanco says output quality is very similar to what DLSS produces natively on Nvidia GPUs, apart from "some effects that may not be working 100%." In his own testing, he found the mod playable at 90 to 100 FPS at 1080p on an RX 9070 XT, and says he plans to match the performance of a 5070 Ti.

Real-world results are mixed. Reddit users report no performance loss over native FSR in some cases, while others report losing single-digit FPS to up to 25% lower FPS in various games. The mod does not work with anti-cheat software, limiting its use in online multiplayer titles.

Analysis

Why This Matters

Radeon owners on RX 6000, 7000 and 9000 series cards can now run Nvidia's DLSS features, including Neural Rendering, which AMD has no direct equivalent for.
The mod narrows the ecosystem gap between AMD and Nvidia graphics platforms, giving AMD users a feature set games support more widely.
Mixed real-world performance reports mean results vary by game and system, so early adopters should test before relying on it.

Background

DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is Nvidia's suite of AI-driven upscaling and rendering technologies and has become a widely supported standard in PC games. AMD's competing FSR offers similar upscaling and frame generation features, but game developers have historically supported DLSS more often. Neural Rendering, the newest addition, uses AI models to improve game visuals and performance, and AMD has yet to ship an equivalent, creating a gap that community modders have moved to fill.

Key Perspectives

The modder, Daniel Blanco: Sees the project as a way to bridge the gap between AMD and Nvidia GPU features, describing output quality as very similar to native DLSS on Nvidia hardware and aiming to match the performance of a 5070 Ti. AMD Radeon owners: Gain access to DLSS features in any DirectX 12 game that offers FSR, DLSS or XeSS. Reddit users report a range of outcomes, from no performance loss over native FSR to noticeable drops. Skeptics and competitive gamers: The mod does not work with anti-cheat systems, ruling it out for many online multiplayer titles, and some configurations see up to 25% lower FPS.

What to Watch

Whether future DLSS-NR updates close the performance gap with native DLSS on Nvidia cards, which the developer has said he is working toward.
How the mod behaves across a wider range of hardware configurations, given that real-world results so far are mixed.
Whether anti-cheat compatibility is ever addressed, which would determine whether the mod becomes viable for online multiplayer games.
