Up to 30% increase in FPS: update your dlss.dll file

[GSalden 4,689]

Just updated the files to 3.5.1 with DLSS swapper, got a small increase in fps and it looked good :

Might try it for my 3080 at Ultra wide 1440p.

Well there's five minutes of my life I'm not getting back 😄 (I enjoy this stuff really)

Got almost the identical result with a similar system. I guess the good news is that it's consistent. Bottom line is that on my system at least, there's no discernible advantage to using the most recent DLSS file.

Yeah I read never expecting miracles, rarely do even I see/read these kinda threads but I'm always intrigued regardless.

I did a load more benchmarks with SU13 the other night, once SU14 settles down a bit (servers) I'll do them again and compare.

Has anyone checked the version of the dlssg file after SU14? I did try this a while ago and the latest version I had downloaded was 3.1.30

I just checked my actual file and it shows version 3.5.10 and the modified date was yesterday, yet I do not recall ever downloading this version and it is not in the folder I kept the original MSFS file and the one I did download and try

I am curious to see if this got updated as well with either SU14

nvngx_dlssg.dll was updated with SU14.

I had already manually updated nvngx_dlss.dll (without the 'g') to v3.5.10 before I updated to SU14.
This file appears unmodifed by SU14 for me.

Edit: According to someone on the official forums, "SU14 brings 3.5.10 DLSS inside, so no need to update."

Mine didn't, still on 2.4.12.0 after updating to SU14

I should have noted that my test was performed after SU14. One thing that I have noticed is that the glass panels look quite nice with the updated DLSS file, and I no longer need to use GeForce Experience to scale and sharpen in order to achieve acceptable clarity and fps at 4K resolution. So overall, it seems to be a win even though the frame rate is similar.

I updated to 3.5.  No noticeable difference, but no harm done either.

How did you replace it? I have the MSFS Store version with    C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.35.21.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe    where the file is located. Cannot replace it. How did you?

I had to convert my MS store version of MSFS to the new version through the Xbox app Harry.  There is no protection on the folder after that, and the DLSS swapper found it automatically. 

There are instructions on how to do this on the parallel 42 website for their app called Stripr, which also requires this.

I found it was no major drama to do it.  Just go carefully.  It says it is converting something like 137 GB, but in effect, it was only a few gigabytes, and you can choose a different drive.  I got it off my c drive and told it to go to my f drive (flightsim).  My official and community folders are there anyway.  That is why my move was only about 2 GB.  It is just the core settings / starter folder I think.

Thank you so much Rob!

The move worked like a charm. Took more time to read and understand the //42 instructions than the move itself. I'm so happy that I can now access the content of that folder. Not only for the nvngx_dlss.dll replacement which was not so urgent for me. Much more important, I can now create MSFS profiles for two other apps which was not possible until now because these apps required the msfs.exe location  for creating a profile.

MSFS store versions here too but DLSS Swapper works like a charm.

Then you already have the new type of MSFS store installation Gerard, with less protection.

Old todgers like me who had the original installation from over three years ago needed to convert it over.  It was no big deal in the end.  This will also allow me to try reshade now as well.  I might give it a go over the Christmas holiday.

There was a comment on YouTube that SU14 actually updates diss to the latest version.

Anyone confirm that?

Just updated to SU14, so to answer my own question:
nvngx_dlssg.dll (which I believe is the frame generation file) has gone to 3.5.10.0. (latest?)
My nvngx_dlss.dll remains at 2.4.12.0 (not updated?)
