Does Red Dead Redemption 2 Support DLSS 4.5?
Status: Manual Fix Required
Red Dead Redemption 2 has a native DLSS implementation that over-sharpens the image, causing trees to look pixelated. Fix: Swap to DLL 2.5.1 (classic) or 3.7.10 (modern) to fix the excessive sharpening filter that Rockstar hard-coded.

How to Enable DLSS 4.5 in Red Dead Redemption 2
Pro Tip: Use DLSSTweaks to force 'AutoExposure' off if you see flickering lights. The default DLL is version 2.2.x which is very outdated.
Is it Safe to Swap the DLL?
For single-player games like Red Dead Redemption 2, 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.
