AMD's newly announced RX 9050 GPU exists in two very different versions sharing the same name: an 8GB retail card sold standalone in some markets, and a 4GB variant that can only be bought bundled inside prebuilt desktops. Testing found the 4GB model, discovered inside a $750 CyberPowerPC system from Best Buy, has half the memory bandwidth and significantly worse performance than the retail card most buyers would research online.

Developer danielblnc created a tool called DLSS-NR-on-AMD that forces DLSS 5 to run on AMD's RX 9000-series GPUs by intercepting Nvidia's NGX API calls and converting the AI model's calculations for AMD's matrix accelerators through HIP RT. The workaround only functions in DirectX 12 titles with FSR support and without anti-cheat, and currently yields modest results — the RX 9070 XT manages just 30 FPS at 1080p in Cyberpunk 2077 with DLSS 5 enabled.
