Open DLSS alternative claims better performance and quality with AMD support

Apex Compute released Apex Neural Rendering (ANR), an open DLSS alternative whose frame generation component, ANR FG, is in beta with super resolution (ANR SR) and ray reconstruction (ANR RR) promised in beta soon. ANR FG supports NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20, 30, 40 and 50 series and GTX 16 series, AMD Radeon RX 5000 through 9000 series plus Steam Deck, and Intel Arc A and B series, on Windows 10 and 11 and on Linux and SteamOS via Proton. The package installs through install.cmd on Windows or install.sh on Linux and Steam Deck, and Apex Compute says source code is coming soon while OptiScaler, which the addon package builds on, remains GPL-3.0.

Apex Neural Rendering https://apexcompute.com/neural-rendering by Apex Compute https://apexcompute.com . - ANR FG : frame generation. In beta. - ANR SR : super resolution upscaling . Beta soon. - ANR RR : ray reconstruction denoising for ray tracing . Beta soon. - Source code : coming soon. 1. Download a package from Releases https://github.com/apex-compute/ANR/releases : - anr-fg-full : for games without OptiScaler. - anr-fg-addon : for games that already use OptiScaler https://github.com/optiscaler/OptiScaler . 2. Close the game, extract the package and run the installer with the folder of the game's .exe : - Windows: install.cmd - Linux and Steam Deck Proton : sh install.sh "<folder " , then set the game's launch options to the line it prints: WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dxgi=n,b" %command% , or winmm=n,b in Vulkan games 3. Windows: 4. In the game, turn on frame generation the NVIDIA option where the game offers several . To uninstall, run uninstall.cmd or sh uninstall.sh with the same folder. - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20, 30, 40 and 50 series, and GTX 16 series - AMD Radeon RX 5000, 6000, 7000 and 9000 series, and Steam Deck - Intel Arc A and B series On Windows 10 and 11, and on Linux and SteamOS with Proton. Please post them as issues https://github.com/apex-compute/ANR/issues/new/choose : - Performance results : run the test kit from the release and attach its result file. - Problems : the game, GPU and driver, operating system, settings and what you saw, with the newest nr fg- .log from under the game's OptiScaler/custom/Apex Neural Rendering FG folder.
