‘AMDLSS5’ gets Nvidia’s neural rendering running on AMD graphics cards and claims 64% better performance than other mods
Seems like an easy install, too. Though not everyone is convinced it's worth it.

DLSS 5 has been out for a while now, love it or hate it, but obviously not for AMD cards. Well, not officially, anyway. We have previously seen and tried mods that get the machine learning-aided neural rendering tech up and running using AMD RX 9000-series silicon, and now it looks like there's a significantly improved one.
AMDLSS5 version 2.0 is now out (via Wccftech), and it's claiming some impressive improvements compared to other DLSS 5 mods. Specifically, compared with "other mods", it's claiming +64% fps in Resident Evil Requiem, and +11% fps compared with the previous version of this one.
That's particularly great, if true, because our Dave's testing of DLSS 5 on an AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT using a different mod was, erm, not pretty. We're talking just 9 fps in Cyberpunk 2077, admittedly at 4K res on RT Ultra settings, but that was with FSR 4 on and set to Balanced.
It's not all the mod's fault, though, as DLSS 5 itself can be very intensive to run, even on an Nvidia GPU. Our Andy found this out when he tried running it in NBA 2K27. Frame rates there dropped up to 73% at 4K while using an RTX 5080, and there were significant drops at lower resolutions, too.
According to the mod's creator on Reddit, the following games are currently supported:
It's worth noting that some of the Reddit comments say the quality isn't very good with the mod enabled. That's to be expected, I suppose, for something unofficial, but it's just something to keep in mind if you're planning on installing it.
Installation itself involves simply downloading the files and running the installer. It then "installs, updates or removes the mod with one click."
