Does Portal with RTX Support DLSS 4.5?
Status: Experimental
Portal with RTX is a pure Path Tracing demo. It requires DLSS 3.5 Ray Reconstruction to denoise the light bounces; without it, the image is a noisy mess. It is the gold standard for RR comparison.

Is it Safe to Swap the DLL?
For single-player games like Portal with RTX, 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.
