Starfield Upscaler Released, with only DLSS2 and XeSS

Here to pay respect to the legend

J

Not really, the FG mod only works for 4000 series card, and the DLSS2 I released on nexusmods is all there is for non-40s.

PureDark

I came here to donate to PureDark's patreon because I heard I could get better content for 3000 series cards-- is this correct or is only the 4000 card content available specially here? Thanks!

Zac Halls

Is this supposed to be sarcastic?

Alexandra McCowan

yeah? its just the DLSS super resolution feature which works with all RTX gpus

Kacper Rogalski

Will the current mod work for RTX 4K -series. Or we need to wait for DLSS 3 mod?

Pete Dragun

4th haha

Lou

3rd

Tiago Garcia

2nd that

Dmitry Gelfer

I’d be happy to test out DLSS 3.0 if you need more volunteers. I am running a 4090

Leif Lotvedt

It does, I just ended up going for it and it's working fine. Thanks for letting me know though.

Michael Griffin

Grt news, I’m in… There are more than 150,000 40 series GPU units out there, this going to sell like hot cakes!

Dmitry Gelfer

Already in testing with a small group of testers.

PureDark

I remember something about the first few days. But dlss 2 was apparently a unexpectedly low hanging fruit

Alexander Seidel

This shimmering on lit surfaces seems to be worse than FSR 2, is there a way to tune this so it looks better?

Jack Michaelson

I remember seeing "DLSS 3 will be easy and will come first on Early Access day 1" but instead we got DLSS 2?

Alex Vera

Gotchya. Thanks so much!

Tyrel

Oh, you must enable fsr2 for the dlss swapper to overwrite it.

Alexander Seidel

Any idea why mine is greyed out?

Tyrel

You have to set the rendering resolution yourself in the games display settings

Alexander Seidel

Any ETA on dlss 3.0?

Drothen

Why does it say 1080->2160 is there a way to fix this?

Tyrel

Joined to support you good work, but: At the moment AutoHDR doesn't work for the steam version, we have to rename the exe to fallout5.exe so that it is flagged correctly, but then your dlss swap doesn't work anymore. Any chance you can let use set the exe name manually in the StarfieldUpscaler.ini?

Alexander Seidel

I had a few crashes while running this upscaler when trying to access photomode and reading a tablet. Disabled it and it hasnt crashed for a few hours now. Cant be certain, but it seems likely that its caused by the upscaler.

Reinout

Did you try v1.0.2? It should fix the auto disabling issue.

PureDark

Plugin keeps disabling itself. I've turned off Steam overlay and it still happens. Would like to not give up Reshade since it's needed to fix the horrible black level issues.

Travis Stockton

Thanks for the Work!!,even if its some c&p for me thats all ill need atm. My good old 3080 doesn't have frame Generation. So from now on ill pray for dlss 3.5 mod from you pure dark 😉. Have a nice day!

PRGameDev

Proof that the Technical Directors for these games are leaving out DLSS based purely on POLITICAL reasons, not because their devs don’t have time to implement DLSS. This is disgraceful anti-consumer behavior, and we need to complain LOUDLY, and publicly embarrass AMD and Bethesda. Let’s stomp out these back-room shenanigans now before it becomes common practice. AMD has stacks of money just waiting to pay off future developers. Devs/Publishers need to get the message that these types of ridiculous decisions will risk getting their game publicly panned, and ultimately the game flopping. Anyway, thanks PureDark. You da man 🙌

JR

Will this work for the GamePass version of the game? If not will you make it work?

Michael Griffin

Well to be fair here... Nvidia spent years cheating benchmarks to become #1. Then they spent years breaking games on AMD hardware on purpose with game works which they paid developers to use and was in hundreds of games. Now they have devs using proprietary ray tracing methods that are closed source. AMD has sponsored which means paid for all advertising of the game like 5 times and have said they don't force developers to leave DLSS out of sponsored games. DLSS is a plug-in for most big engines at this point, even inhouse ones that aren't called UE4 or 5. Starfield is probably going to be the showpiece title for FSR3 and considering the Xbox is powered by AMD it makes sense in this case. Look at it this way... fsr is good but not as good as DLSS but it works on everything. DLSS is Nvidia only and doesn't really require special hardware. You can get nearly identical results with fsr if it's implemented correctly. AMD spent 10 years having to inject their own code into games to replicate game works features and often AMD had significantly more efficient code which is where the "fine wine" effect really came from. For the 1st few weeks Nvidia would have a major performance lead and then like magic the gap would close. So AMD is doing less "bad" than Nvidia and likely knew someone would mod in DLSS so really it ends up being a win win situation. Development gets a budget boost, AMD gets their brand out there more and we get games that can run fsr or DLSS. Also considering the backlash AMD has received im inclined to believe them and it's more likely that Nvidia is the one saying no DLSS in certain AMD sponsored titles. They have a long history of playing dirty and that would be a move they would make since it angers gamers and that anger is directed at AMD whose supported open standards forever and has nothing to gain by blocking DLSS.

Well Worth it if you ask me and since I've been fortunate in my career I'm more than happy to pay it forward. This is a kick ass mod that is support even if I could make my own version for Calisto. I have a 4090 and the game still chugs and I don't think it's a poorly made game like Jedi survivor is, I think they future proofed it but if you're gonna do that then you can't just support 1 type of upscaling and fsr does a good job image quality wise in it but it's probably 10 fps (on quality mode) slower than DLSS would be and that 10fps is basically what I need... although frame gen hitting 120 would be mint3

JR

That’s a great idea, man. The tip and buying the game for him, both. I love this community support 🤜🤛

JR

Nice! Waiting for the FG mod now

Bob Tisch

サンキュー、ギル

Daikichi

Will FG also come with DLSS3 or will that be separate?

AtomicFire

Thank you, friend! Got it plugged in and can see the improvement as I toggle between enabled/disabled... You're a saint.

Chip Downing

Doing gods work - thx mate

Paramonos

Does this one have the DRM. Because the DRM is not working for me,

Sam Pickering

You are a saint

Jason Schaefer

Wow. That was very fast. Excellent work!

Anthony Lobato

Bro.. you continue to be my hero even though I haven't even tried the game yet lol. I'm.a man of my word, when I get paid in 2 weeks Ill send over a bonus.. I'll msg you to figure out how you want it sent... I know most take a cut so whoever takes the least? For me it's PayPal but it's dev choice lol. Thanks man, can't wait to see DLSS 3 and I'm still crossing my fingers you will do Callisto protocol. I know you insinuated you do it for games you wanna play but I'll gladly buy you a copy to add DLSS 2 and frame gen because I wanna play it but I'm unhappy with it's performance and visuals thanks to fsr

d0x360

NICE. Which version .dll do you recommend

Zeke the Plumber

good now we wait for frame gen. Thanks pure dark
