Modders working on bringing NVIDIA's [DLSS 5 Neural Rendering to AMD Radeon GPUs](https://www.techpowerup.com/352360/modders-get-dlss-5-working-on-amd-graphics-cards-though-performance-is-rough) just had their busiest day yet. The developer behind the [DLSS-NR-on-AMD](https://github.com/danielblnc/DLSS-NR-on-AMD) tool shipped two new versions within 24 hours, Alpha 0.3.3 and Alpha 0.4.0, together adding roughly 74% performance on Radeon hardware, according to the project's own GitHub release notes. YouTuber [Ancient Gameplays](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyRaA4wLYXI) tested the update in Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440, and saw framerates climb from around 30 FPS on earlier builds to roughly 50 FPS on Alpha 0.4.0. That's a big jump for a workaround that started out barely playable. The original mod release had poor performance, but it looks like that's being addressed.

The tool works by feeding NVIDIA's own [DLSS 5 DLL](https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-dlss-5-technical-preview/) into Radeon RX 9000 GPUs, and reportedly RX 7000 cards too, intercepting the calls the DLL expects and routing the neural computation onto AMD hardware, since RDNA 4 supports the FP8 math DLSS 5 relies on. Alpha 0.3.3 also added a graphical installer with a built-in settings editor and overlay controls, so getting Neural Rendering running on Radeon apparently no longer means digging through file paths manually. Moreover, just today, the Alpha 0.4.1 update brought another 8% jump in overall performance, and a 9% performance increase under heavy gameplay loads.
