AMDLSS5 Mod Enables Nvidia's DLSS 5 on AMD GPUs, Boosts Performance by 64%

A new version of the AMDLSS5 mod has surfaced, promising to bring Nvidia's DLSS 5 neural rendering technology to AMD Radeon graphics cards with substantial performance gains. Version 2.0 claims to deliver up to 64% higher frame rates in Resident Evil Requiem compared to other mods, and an 11% improvement over its own previous release.

Supported Games and Installation

The mod currently works with a handful of titles that support DirectX 12 and upscaling technologies like FSR 2 or XeSS. The confirmed list includes:

• The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (remastered DX12 version only)
• Red Dead Redemption 2 (DX12 with FSR 2 enabled)
• Shadow of the Tomb Raider (XeSS selected)
• Nioh 3 (XeSS in Advanced Resolution settings)
• Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced (story mode, offline)

Installation is straightforward—simply download the files and run the installer, which handles setup, updates, or removal with a single click.

Performance and Caveats

While the claimed frame rate boosts are eye-catching, real-world results may vary. Earlier attempts to run DLSS 5 on AMD hardware, such as on the Radeon RX 9070 XT, yielded disappointing performance in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077. Even on native Nvidia GPUs, DLSS 5 can be taxing; tests with an RTX 5080 in NBA 2K27 showed frame rate drops of up to 73% at 4K. Additionally, some Reddit users have reported noticeable quality issues with the mod enabled, which is not unexpected for an unofficial solution.

For AMD gamers eager to experiment with neural rendering, AMDLSS5 v2.0 offers a tempting, if imperfect, way to access cutting-edge features without an Nvidia card. Have you tried this mod or similar ones? Share your experiences and thoughts in the comments below.
