base on OptiScaler bridges upscaling/frame gen across GPUs. Supports DLSS2+/XeSS/FSR2+ inputs, replaces native upscalers, enables FSR3 FG on non-FG titles. Supports Nukem mod for DLSSG-to-FSR3 FG. <div align="center">  </div> ## Table of Contents **1.** [**About**](#about) **2.** [**How it works?**](#how-it-works) **3.** [**Supported APIs and Upscalers**](#which-apis-and-upscalers-are-supported) **4.** [**Installation**](#installation) **5.** [**Known Issues**](#known-issues) **6.** [**Compilation and Credits**](#compilation) **7.** [**Wiki**](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki) ## About **OptiScaler** is a tool that lets you replace upscalers in games that ***already support DLSS2+ / FSR2+ / XeSS*** ($`^1`$), now also supports ***enabling frame generation*** in those same games (through ***Nukem's dlssg-to-fsr3*** or ***OptiFG***). It also offers extensive customization options for all users, including those with Nvidia GPUs using DLSS. > [!TIP] > _For example, if a game has DLSS only, OptiScaler can be used to replace DLSS with XeSS or FSR 3.1 (also works for FSR2-only games, like The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice)._ **Key aspects of OptiScaler:** - Enables usage of XeSS, FSR2, FSR3, **FSR4**$`^2`$ (_RDNA4 only_) and DLSS in upscaler-enabled games - Allows users to fine-tune their upscaling experience with a wide range of tweaks and enhancements (RCAS & MAS, Output Scaling, DLSS Presets, Ratio & DRS Overrides etc.) - Since v0.7.0+, added ***experimental DX12*** frame generation support with possible HUDfix solution ([**OptiFG**](#optifg-powered-by-fsr3-fg--hudfix-experimental-hud-ghosting-fix) by FSR3) - Supports [**Fakenvapi**](#installation) integration - enables Reflex hooking and injecting _Anti-Lag 2_ (RDNA1+ only) or _LatencyFlex_ (LFX) - **_not bundled_**$`^3`$ - Since v0.7.7, added support for **Nukem's** FSR FG mod [**dlssg-to-fsr3**](#installation), only supports games with ***native DLSS-FG*** - **_not bundled_**$`^3`$ - For a detailed list of all features, check [Features](Features.md) > [!IMPORTANT] > _**Always check the [Wiki Compatibility list](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki) for known game issues and workarounds.**_ > Also please check the [***OptiScaler known issues***](#known-issues) at the end regarding **RTSS** compatibility. > A separate [***FSR4 Compatibility list***](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List) is available for community-sourced tested games. > ***[3]** For **not bundled** items, please check [Installation](#installation).* > [!NOTE] > <details> > <summary><b>Expand for [1], [2] </b></summary> > > ***[1]** Regarding **XeSS**, since Unreal Engine plugin does not provide depth, replacing in-game XeSS breaks other upscalers (e.g. Redout 2 as a XeSS-only game), but you can still apply RCAS sharpening to XeSS to reduce blurry visuals (in short, if it's a UE game, in-game XeSS only works with XeSS in OptiScaler overlay).* > > *Regarding **FSR inputs**, FSR 3.1 is the first version with a fully standardised, forward-looking API and should be fully supported. Since FSR2 and FSR3 support custom interfaces, game support will depend on the developers' implementation. With Unreal Engine games, you might need [ini tweaks](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/Unreal-Engine-Tweaks) for FSR inputs.* > > ***[2]** Regarding **FSR4**, support added with recent Nightly builds. Please check [FSR4 Compatibility list](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/FSR4-Compatibility-List) for known supported games and general info.* > > </details> ## Official Discord Server: [DLSS2FSR](https://discord.gg/2JDHx6kcXB) *This project is based on [PotatoOfDoom](https://github.com/PotatoOfDoom)'s excellent [CyberFSR2](https://github.com/PotatoOfDoom/CyberFSR2).* ## How it works? OptiScaler implements the necessary API methods of DLSS2+ & NVAPI, XeSS and FSR2+ to act as a middleware. It intercepts upscaler calls from the game (_**Inputs**_) and redirects them to the chosen upscaling backend (_**Output**_), allowing games using one technology to use another of your choice. **Inputs -> OptiScaler -> Outputs** > [!NOTE] > Pressing **`Insert`** should open the OptiScaler **Overlay** in-game with all of the options (`ShortcutKey=` can be changed in the config file). Pressing **`Page Up`** shows the performance stats overlay in the top left, and can be cycled between different modes with **`Page Down`**.  ## Which APIs and Upscalers are Supported? Currently **OptiScaler** can be used with DirectX 11, DirectX 12 and Vulkan, but each API has different sets of supported upscalers. [**OptiFG**](#optifg-powered-by-fsr3-fg--hudfix-experimental-hud-ghosting-fix) currently **only supports DX12** and is explained in a separate paragraph. #### For DirectX 12 - XeSS (Default) - FSR 2.1.2, 2.2.1 - FSR 3.X (and FSR 2.3.X) - FSR 4.0.X (via FSR3.X update, _RDNA4 only_) - DLSS #### For DirectX 11 - FSR 2.2.1 (Default, native DX11) - FSR 3.1.2 (unofficial port to native DX11) - DLSS (native DX11) - XeSS 2.X (native DX11, _Intel ARC only_) - XeSS, FSR 2.1.2, 2.2.1, FSR 3.X w/Dx12 (_via D3D11on12_)$`^1`$ - FSR 4.0.X (via FSR 3.X w/Dx12 update, _RDNA4 only_) > [!NOTE] > <details> > <summary><b>Expand for [1]</b></summary> > > _**[1]** These implementations use a background DirectX12 device to be able to use Dirext12-only upscalers. There is a 10-15% performance penalty for this method, but allows many more upscaler options. Also native DirectX11 implementation of FSR 2.2.1 is a backport from Unity renderer and has its own problems of which some were fixed by OptiScaler._ > </details> #### For Vulkan - FSR2 2.1.2 (Default), 2.2.1 - FSR3 3.1 (and FSR2 2.3.2) - DLSS - XeSS 2.x #### OptiFG (powered by FSR3 FG) + HUDfix (experimental HUD ghosting fix) **OptiFG** was added with **v0.7** and is **only supported in DX12**. It's an **experimental** way of adding FSR3 FG to games without native Frame Generation, or can also be used as a last case scenario if the native FG is not working properly. For more information on OptiFG and how to use it, please check the Wiki page - [OptiFG](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki/OptiFG). ## Installation > [!CAUTION] > _**Warning**: **Do not use this mod with online games.** It may trigger anti-cheat software and cause bans!_ > [!IMPORTANT] > **For installation steps, please check the [**Wiki**](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki)** ## Configuration Please check [this](Config.md) document for configuration parameters and explanations. If your GPU is not an Nvidia one, check [GPU spoofing options](Spoofing.md) *(Will be updated)* ## Known Issues If you can't open the in-game menu overlay: 1. Please check that you have enabled DLSS, XeSS or FSR from game options and are in-game, not inside game settings 2. If using legacy installation, please try opening menu while you are in-game (while 3D rendering is happening) 3. If you are using **RTSS** (MSI Afterburner, CapFrameX), please enable this setting in RTSS and/or try updating RTSS. **When using OptiFG please disable RTSS for best compatibility**.  Please check [this](Issues.md) document for the rest of the known issues and possible solutions for them. Also check the community [Wiki](https://github.com/cdozdil/OptiScaler/wiki) for possible game issues and HUDfix incompatible games. ## Compilation ### Requirements * Visual Studio 2022 ### Instructions * Clone this repo with **all of its submodules**. * Open the OptiScaler.sln with Visual Studio 2022. * Build the project ## Thanks * @PotatoOfDoom for CyberFSR2 * @Artur for DLSS Enabler and helping me implement NVNGX api correctly * @LukeFZ & @Nukem for their great mods and sharing their knowledge * @FakeMichau for continous support, testing and feature creep * @QM for continous testing efforts and helping me to reach games * @TheRazerMD for continous testing and support * @Cryio, @krispy, @krisshietala, @Lordubuntu, @scz, @Veeqo for their hard work on [compatibility matrix](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qsvM0uRW-RgAYsOVprDWK2sjCqHnd_1teYAx00_TwUY) * And the whole DLSS2FSR community for all their support ## Credit This project uses [FreeType](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype) licensed under the [FTL](https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/blob/master/docs/FTL.TXT) ", Assign "at most 3 tags" to the expected json: {"id":"12801","tags":[]} "only from the tags list I provide: [{"id":77,"name":"3d"},{"id":89,"name":"agent"},{"id":17,"name":"ai"},{"id":54,"name":"algorithm"},{"id":24,"name":"api"},{"id":44,"name":"authentication"},{"id":3,"name":"aws"},{"id":27,"name":"backend"},{"id":60,"name":"benchmark"},{"id":72,"name":"best-practices"},{"id":39,"name":"bitcoin"},{"id":37,"name":"blockchain"},{"id":1,"name":"blog"},{"id":45,"name":"bundler"},{"id":58,"name":"cache"},{"id":21,"name":"chat"},{"id":49,"name":"cicd"},{"id":4,"name":"cli"},{"id":64,"name":"cloud-native"},{"id":48,"name":"cms"},{"id":61,"name":"compiler"},{"id":68,"name":"containerization"},{"id":92,"name":"crm"},{"id":34,"name":"data"},{"id":47,"name":"database"},{"id":8,"name":"declarative-gui "},{"id":9,"name":"deploy-tool"},{"id":53,"name":"desktop-app"},{"id":6,"name":"dev-exp-lib"},{"id":59,"name":"dev-tool"},{"id":13,"name":"ecommerce"},{"id":26,"name":"editor"},{"id":66,"name":"emulator"},{"id":62,"name":"filesystem"},{"id":80,"name":"finance"},{"id":15,"name":"firmware"},{"id":73,"name":"for-fun"},{"id":2,"name":"framework"},{"id":11,"name":"frontend"},{"id":22,"name":"game"},{"id":81,"name":"game-engine "},{"id":23,"name":"graphql"},{"id":84,"name":"gui"},{"id":91,"name":"http"},{"id":5,"name":"http-client"},{"id":51,"name":"iac"},{"id":30,"name":"ide"},{"id":78,"name":"iot"},{"id":40,"name":"json"},{"id":83,"name":"julian"},{"id":38,"name":"k8s"},{"id":31,"name":"language"},{"id":10,"name":"learning-resource"},{"id":33,"name":"lib"},{"id":41,"name":"linter"},{"id":28,"name":"lms"},{"id":16,"name":"logging"},{"id":76,"name":"low-code"},{"id":90,"name":"message-queue"},{"id":42,"name":"mobile-app"},{"id":18,"name":"monitoring"},{"id":36,"name":"networking"},{"id":7,"name":"node-version"},{"id":55,"name":"nosql"},{"id":57,"name":"observability"},{"id":46,"name":"orm"},{"id":52,"name":"os"},{"id":14,"name":"parser"},{"id":74,"name":"react"},{"id":82,"name":"real-time"},{"id":56,"name":"robot"},{"id":65,"name":"runtime"},{"id":32,"name":"sdk"},{"id":71,"name":"search"},{"id":63,"name":"secrets"},{"id":25,"name":"security"},{"id":85,"name":"server"},{"id":86,"name":"serverless"},{"id":70,"name":"storage"},{"id":75,"name":"system-design"},{"id":79,"name":"terminal"},{"id":29,"name":"testing"},{"id":12,"name":"ui"},{"id":50,"name":"ux"},{"id":88,"name":"video"},{"id":20,"name":"web-app"},{"id":35,"name":"web-server"},{"id":43,"name":"webassembly"},{"id":69,"name":"workflow"},{"id":87,"name":"yaml"}]" returns me the "expected json"
