The author wasn't selling DLSS, they were selling a shim to make it work with Starfield. That does require original work.

Do you copy and paste comments from reddit? I read this exact comment last night I am SURE of it

[–] [email protected] -2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You still hang around on Reddit?

I haven’t been on Reddit for weeks.

But we both know this was a pointless question.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago

Yes. Lemmy still sucks and everybody who isn't in niche communities knows it. Lemmy is the same article spammed across 100 communities cross posted again across 100 instances, memes for teenagers, and Star Trek memes apparently.

The author wasn’t selling DLSS

So NVidia's DLLs for DLSS are not included? (Honest question, I don't even own the game.)

[–] AdmiralShat 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can get the DLL very easily and legally, NVidia doesn't lock their DLLs.

But I asked if the mod bundles it.

[–] AdmiralShat 2 points 1 year ago

That was already answered by the other commenter, I was supplying additional information

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, they are not included. The mod I use to enable it linked to a site that archives all the different DLSS DLL file versions. Honestly though, I couldn't tell a difference between FSR2 and DLSS 3.5 in graphical fidelity nor performance (I have a 5950x and RX 3090).

In case anyone's curious about the performance with those specs: I average around 60fps at 1440p with everything maxed out when I'm in the major city, New Atlantis (haven't gotten to another huge hub yet). In smaller areas/indoors/in space, I get around 100fps.

Are you sure the mod you're using is injecting DLSS3? Using the DLSS 3.5 DLL is not related to that. If it's only injecting DLSS2, it would be entirely expected to see negligible performance difference vs. FSR2.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not related to what? Does DLSS 3.5 not do everything DLSS 2 does and more?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"DLSS2" and "DLSS3" are not references to the version of the DLL. They are references to different output modes of the DLL, which is also backwards compatible, i.e. the 3.5 DLL can output either mode. The Starfiels mods that were available immediately at launch do not use DLSS3, or by extension frame generation. It doesn't matter which DLL version you use

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that's what I'm saying. My 3090 can use 3.5 but it can't do the frame generation feature that 3.5 is capable of, therefore the performance gain is negligible over FSR2. The mod I used did support DLSS 3 + frame gen.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

Sure it can, I've got no problems using frame generation on my 3060. Any RTX card can do it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don’t know in this particular case, but the mods I have seen require you to provide the Nvidia DLL yourself.
