. . .So, unlike other "DLSS enabler" mods which typically use whatever game in question's preexisting DLSS hooks to just insert FSR2/3/4 or Intel XESS, HelixSR at least offers some semblance of DLSS proper (DLSS 3.7, CNN model, Preset E):

"HelixSR runs NVIDIA's DLSS Model E network as standard Direct3D12 compute shaders, without NVIDIA Tensor Cores, an NVIDIA driver, CUDA, or ROCm. It behaves like DLSS: no sharpening, every quality mode from native (DLAA) to Ultra Performance, dynamic resolution.

...This is NVIDIA's network running on different hardware, not a newly trained model. HelixSR answers the game exactly as DLSS would: DLSS's camera jitter (8 × scale² Halton positions), DLSS's render sizes per quality mode, no sharpening (a game's FSR sharpening request is not applied), reactive masks ignored. In Ultra Performance the network outputs twice the render size and a final pass scales that to the screen (less shimmer, about 30% faster). Packed FP16 arithmetic makes the output close to, but not bit-identical with, NVIDIA's DLSS."

I really hope they do since I'm heavily considering getting the bundle

About a year ago nvidia bragged about reinstating 32-bit physx support for 50 series cards, but for some titles it seems like it was a blatant lie. They just added the toggle back in the game settings, however it does nothing or it crashes the game with any physx setting other than OFF.

I have a 5080 and tried every troubleshooting possible to play AC 4 Black Flag with physx on (eg: low, normal or high) however all I get is a crash or freeze. I tried troubleshooting using methods mentioned in the official support thread (profile inspector, legacy physx, clean install of 591.44) yet I get the same error regardless.

They even confirmed it reproducible in the official support thread, yet there was no development since almost a year ago.

If anyone has had any kind of success please let me know.

Better fps too, which I didn’t expect.

>Having already delivered the Complete Edition, CD Projekt RED still has plans for The Witcher 3, hence the arrival of the controversial Remastered release - and while it has some key improvements, there are still some issues. In our PC performance review, we present the top-line changes to the game then compare the hotfix 5.00C version to the latest patch 5.01 before we dive head-first into those all-important optimised settings.

>Note on texture quality/VRAM: The on-screen VRAM figures are from RTX 5090 testing at 4K DLAA with RT disabled. The recommendation of High textures for 8GB GPUs is based on separate RTX 4060 testing, also with RT disabled, where VRAM usage remained below 7GB.

Hi. I have a situation here and will be glad if anyone could help. I have a 4070 ti and I’m playing control resonant. I’ve been messing around with using frame gen since input lag is not very noticeable here.

I have a 60 hz display and want to get locked 60 fps . So I have limited rendered frame rate using in game limiter to 30, which I’m getting locked 30 without any drops with settings that I have. Then I turn on frame gen to get 60.

Of course there’s screen tearing, so I turn on vsync using Nvidia app, the screen tear is gone, but I’m getting constant 1 or 2 frame drops and the game is hitching a lot, which in my limited know is due to uneven frame pacing.

But why is it happening? Is there a way to fix it or it’s just because of this setup that I’m using? Please let me know if you have any idea what’s happening here
