GoKawiilModder combines two tools to bring DLSS 5 and multi-frame gen to older RTX GPUs
A modder known as ShyVox released 'DLSS Unlocked,' which merges the OptiScaler_DLSSNR and DLSS Enabler projects into one installer that adds DLSS 5 and multi-frame generation support to RTX 20-, 30-, and 40-series cards. On RTX 20 and 30 GPUs, AMD's FSR 3.1 handles frame interpolation since Nvidia's own pipeline isn't supported, while RTX 40 cards use Nvidia's DLSS-G for the first generated frame and FSR 3.1 for the rest, enabling up to 6x frame multiplication.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
This shows how community modders are increasingly able to bypass Nvidia's generational lockouts, letting owners of older GPUs access features the company reserves for newer hardware to drive sales. It also highlights a growing trend of cross-vendor cooperation at the software level, where AMD's FSR technology is being used to patch gaps in Nvidia's own upscaling ecosystem.
- 'DLSS Unlocked' merges two existing mods to add DLSS 5 and multi-frame generation to RTX 20, 30, and 40 series GPUs.
- Older RTX 20/30 cards rely on AMD's FSR 3.1 for frame interpolation, while RTX 40 cards blend DLSS-G with FSR 3.1 for up to 6x frame gen.
- Users must supply their own patched DLSS 5 DLL and use a DirectX 12 game that already supports DLSS upscaling and frame generation.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Graphics Card — If you're tinkering with DLSS Unlocked to squeeze frame gen out of an older card, an RTX 40-series like the 4070 SUPER is the sweet spot for testing these mods across DirectX titles on Windows or Linux. It's a solid upgrade path that still benefits from community tools bringing newer DLSS features to Ada hardware.
