DLSS option not showing up

Featured Replies

I have Nvidia RTX 3080Ti, but DLSS is not available. I get the AMD options and that is weird. I have tried in both DX11 and DX12, but it is not showing up.

 

Any ideas how to fix this?

You need a recent driver.  A new one came out the other day, and it seems fine.  I have had no driver problems lately and everything seems good with the recent ones.  
GeForce 3080Ti here, and DLSS is working great.

If you didn't already know, you have to select DLSS under the AA setting. The DLSS mode selection wont show up until you select DLSS as the AA option.

The problem is that there in NO DLSS option to choose, only an AMD option and I do not have an AND card. I have a Nvidia 3080Ti.

I also have the very latest Nvidia driver dated 2022.12.12 spacer.png

Interesting, so you have all the other options? Off, DLAA, TAA, FXAA and then AMD FSR2 but no DLSS? Hopefully someone else has an answer for you. I'm not currently at home so I can't dig around in the sim to try and help.

Yes, I have all other options, but the AMD instead of the DLSS.

Check if you have dlss.dll files in your \Microsoft Flight Simulator\Content directory (store version). There might be missing one...?

I looked in C:\Users\roa-k\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe and its subfolder

 

but couldn't find any of these files.

 

I wonder if he DLSS option only shows up if the PC has a RTX card?

 

As I also have a non-RTX Nvidia card (GTX 1030) together with a RTX 3080Ti in my PC. Maybe MSFS checks and find the 1030 and belive I do not have a RTX 3080Ti 

You nailed it, DLSS is only available for RTX cards! It looks like your sim only registered you GTX...

I had the same problem but was able to fix it.
It was an entry in the registry that prevented it from working.
Unfortunately, I no longer have the source where I read that.
I think you will find it in google.

It works only with a RTX Card

No!  Guibru should rename it to  ...opt.bak or something similar so there is a back up just in case.  :smile:

I have taken a backup and deleted it, and made MSFS create a new one. Both with the GTX disabled and enabled, but the issue is still there.

How about removing the driver with DDU, and a clean installation without the GTX card? At least this is what I would try.
