- Compare DLSS 4.0 vs DLSS 3.0 in Cyberpunk
- Test different modes (Performance/Balanced/Quality)

For Games Without Latest Support
If a game doesn't have DLSS 4.0, consider upgrading with DLSS Swapper to try newer technology:
- Upgrade DLSS 2.0 games to DLSS 3.0
- Enable Frame Generation if compatible
- Easy rollback if issues occur
⚠️ Safety Note: Always backup original DLL before swapping. DLSS Swapper does this automatically, but testing thoroughly is recommended for online/multiplayer games.

GPU-Specific Recommendations
RTX 20 & 30 Series
Best Choice: DLSS 2.0
Your GPU doesn't support Frame Generation. DLSS 2.0 is the best option. Use Balanced mode for optimal balance, or Quality for visual priority.
RTX 40 Series
Best Choice: DLSS 4.0 or 3.0 with Frame Gen
You have full access to Frame Generation. Use DLSS 4.0 when available, or DLSS 3.0 with Frame Gen enabled for maximum performance boost. Test different versions with DLSS Swapper.
High-End RTX 40 (4090)
Best Choice: DLSS 4.0 Quality + Frame Gen
Your GPU can handle premium settings. Use DLSS 4.0 in Quality mode or even ultra, then enable Frame Gen for 240+ FPS in competitive titles.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which DLSS version a game supports?
Check the game's official website or launcher. Most modern games list DLSS version in graphics options or requirements. DLSS Swapper also shows detected versions.
Should I always use the latest DLSS version?
Not necessarily. Use what the game officially supports for best stability. However, using DLSS Swapper to test newer versions can sometimes provide better performance or image quality.
Can I use DLSS 4.0 for a game that was built for DLSS 2.0?
Yes, DLSS 4.0 maintains backward compatibility. However, results vary. Use DLSS Swapper to test before committing, as not all combinations work perfectly.
Is Frame Generation worth enabling?
Absolutely for single-player games. It can double your frame rates. For competitive multiplayer, test first—some players prefer lower latency without Frame Gen.
Which DLSS mode should I use in my game?
Start with Balanced—it offers great balance. If FPS is too low, try Performance. If you have headroom, use Quality for best visuals. All modes look excellent.
