New DLSS 3.1.30

Better going back to .40 driver and see it the issue remains.

So has anyone seen ANY improvements/advantages of using the new DLSS version in the sim? Like les trailers behind Multiplayer planes, or elsewhere?

If not, why should one even replace the file?

What’s your opinion? Can you report any improvement or degradation?

RTX4070/Ryzen 7 5800X in VR. Downloaded the dll and replaced as per instructions. Have to say I saw no real difference, everything behaved as before. Maybe, just maybe there was a little bit of jittering but I couldn’t say for definite it was this new dll. I then removed it and replaced with the original and again noticed no difference- but then again I don’t go much for proper testing, just interested to see what, if anything, it did.
For me, nothing.

I find it to have less ghosting and a little bit sharper.

Me? Haven’t tried it yet. Not sure it’s worth it since last time I saw no difference

If you install the latest Nvidia driver using NVCleanInstall you have an option to show which version of DLSS is in use - with Frame Gen and Reflex switched off in PC settings, I found the game using the DLSS 2.5.1 that I’d installed at the same time as DLSS 3.1.2. This was in VR using a 4090 and a Quest 2.

I did see a difference in using the DLSS 2.5.1 dll’s over the original that came with the sim though.

I’m interested checking what version of the DLSS DLL the beta build of SU13 includes
 any way to check? I’m running the beta but don’t know how to check what version it includes.

Hey Chris - I’m on the Store version of MSFS (not Steam) and the DLSS .dll’s are saved in my MSFS Content folder.

nvngx_dlss.dll (the DLSS version 2 .dll)
nvngx_dlssg.dll (the DLSS version 3 .dll)

Highlight the file with your mouse and then hover over, it should give you the version.

OK - if you have the Microsoft store version and the DLSS file is in WindowsApps/XXXMicrosoftFlightSimulatorXXX/ how did you ever get permission to exchange the files? I’ve tried to “own” that directory many times using Google searches for help but I never truly seem to own the files so I can replace the DLSS files. If you actually know how, please provide a complete step-by-step procedure. BTW, my nvngx_dlss.sll is version 2.4.12.0

Thanks

Hi

When I initially installed MSFS I didn’t want it installed on my boot SSD so told it to install to a folder on my second SSD during installation. It’s installed to a games folder there. As such, it’s not in the standard Store folder. I didn’t actually overwrite the original DLSS .dll’s and rather renamed them with. OLD appended just in case I needed to go back to the originals.

You can get in to that folder with admin rights, but I found I couldn’t write there last time I tested this. There are some other tricks you can do, but I have not tried these yet. You can use a program called “psexec” to get a command prompt running with SYSTEM privileges, so above Administrator. That might have the ability to write to that protected folder.
