My understanding is it'll be Nvidia App only, mainly because they are trying to phase out the old control panel and it won't see new features.

 

On another note, read a few mentions that people saw a performance decrease in using the new DLSS 4 .dlls. However, some discovered you can actually get a hold of a new 571.96 driver that has RTX 5xxx support, inside a CUDA toolkit update and that driver improved performance with DLSS 4. So that's good news.

Note the above driver does NOT have the updated Nvidia App, so no point in downloading it for forcing DLSS 4, still gotta wait.

Thanks for the info. If I d/l the NVIDIA App, does it automatically uninstall the older NVIDIA CP or must I do that?

The old control panel can't be removed and will be available in its usual location, so you just install the Nvidia App alongside and use that for whatever you need.

Thanks @AlexJBerry. Post edited.

I've tested, It is ok to set it to "Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024". It does not 'need' to be global.

Hello all. Quick question for MSFS2020. MSFS2020 has two .dll files: nvngx_dlss.dll and nvngx_dlssg.dll.

However, in that Github download link in this thread, there is a third option, nvngx_dlssd.dll. Anyone know if that is relevant to MSFS2020? 

Guessing not as the sim will only be calling file names it knows?

I am copying the files manually, hence asking the Q. Thanks.

Probably the "global" setting is suggested if you want to be using it in all other games, so you don't need to set up each game separately. If you are only running MSFS, no reason to use global, just use the specific Flight Simulator Profile.

nvngx_dlssd.dll

I think that may be for path tracing

nvngx_dlssd.dll is for Ray Recontruction

Not sure I like this DLSS version in MSFS2020…… you lose the option for “Ultra Quality”. That means the best setting in sim with DLSS Anti Aliasing is “Quality” and while that gains a ton of FPS, image quality is down on what I am used to on my 4K monitor when using a factor of 0.85 in Nv Profile Inspector.

For me that means going back to 3.7.10 as that was the last version that allowed Ultra Quality and it produces a better image that DLSS 4 with Quality. When you have native FG and are already getting 80-90 FPS, extra FPS are far outweighed by better image quality.

Location is EGNM, Leeds airport UK.  Fly South to West.  The aircraft is a Tiger Moth by Ants Airplanes.

I just flew there. The clarity / sharpness looks so good! New favourite place to fly GA.

You can still use DLAA, which is even better quality than "ultra quality", since it runs at your native resolution, instead of upscaling.

Question: the selection of the profile J only affects DLAA or also the other modes (quality, performance, etc)?

 

To use DLSS 4 WITH PRESET J, start at 12:30 in this video. You need Nvidia Profile Inspector of course but you also need the CustomSettingsFile.xml file which you download from the internet to (or move to) inside your NPI folder (14:30 in video). Without preset J, you don't have DLSS 4 working for you.

He also stresses the point that this will not work unless it is set only in the global base profile. 16:25 thru about 17:30.

Profile J really makes VR look fantastic.

Do you also get a small white text on the lower left side of your screen usind this DLL? Slightly annoying...
