DLSS-NR-on-AMD’s latest alphas claim a 75% cumulative performance lift

The report does not specify the test GPU or complete graphics settings in its prose, and it does not include frame-time, latency or power measurements. The result is therefore a useful example rather than evidence that every supported Radeon card or game will receive the same uplift.

Alpha 0.3.3 also added a graphical installer with a settings editor and new overlay controls for image style, tone curve, exposure and related adjustments. Its notes mention fixes for incorrect frame dumps and other visual problems. Alpha 0.4.0’s public note is much narrower, listing only the claimed 42% performance improvement.

What the project actually does

DLSS-NR-on-AMD describes itself as a ground-up reimplementation of the neural-network runtime for AMD GPU architectures. Its current documentation targets Radeon RX 9000 and RX 7000 cards in DirectX 12 games that use FSR. Installation also requires Windows 11, AMD Adrenalin 26.1.1 or later and a user-supplied copy of Nvidia’s DLSS Neural Rendering DLL, build 310.8.0.0.

The developer says the project is not affiliated with or endorsed by AMD or Nvidia. The README still characterizes performance as a work in progress, cites roughly 33 FPS at 1080p on an RX 9070 XT and warns that some visual effects may not work completely. It also says anti-cheat systems will block the DLL. Those limits make the rapid alpha gains notable, but they keep the project firmly in experimental community-tool territory rather than turning the latest release into a universal Radeon performance promise.
