Does Cyberpunk 2077 Support DLSS 4.5?
Status: Diamond Tier Support
Cyberpunk 2077 remains the benchmark for DLSS technology. While officially on DLSS 3.7 with Ray Reconstruction, manually swapping to DLSS 4.5 (v3.7.10+) reduces the notorious 'oil painting' smear on NPC faces during rainy nights. Frame Generation is critical for Path Tracing overrides.

How to Enable DLSS 4.5 in Cyberpunk 2077
- Set DLSS Sharpness to 0.05 to avoid ringing artifacts with 4.5 DLLs.
- Enable Ray Reconstruction for better reflection denoising.
- Pro Tip: Use DLSSTweaks to force 'Preset C' for the cleanest motion vectors.
Is it Safe to Swap the DLL?
For single-player games like Cyberpunk 2077, 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.
