Does Control Support DLSS 4.5?
Status: Best with 2.5.1
Control is the poster child for Ray Tracing. However, its native DLSS 2.0 implementation is blurry by modern standards. Swapping to DLSS 2.5.1 forces the newer sharpspening model, making textures crisp again.

How to Enable DLSS 4.5 in Control
Tip: Do not use DLSS 3.x DLLs here; they cause black screen issues on some DX12 configurations in Control.
Is it Safe to Swap the DLL?
For single-player games like Control, updating the nvngx_dlss.dll file to version 4.5.10.0 is generally safe and can improve image stability, reducing ghosting and shimmering compared to the stock DLL file. Always use DLSS Swapper to backup your original file first.
