Does War Thunder Support DLSS 4.5?
Status: Spotting Issues
War Thunder benefits from DLSS 2 for frame rates, but originally suffered from 'ghost planes'. Swapping to DLSS 2.5.1 (or newer 3.7) reduces the smearing on distant dots, which is critical for spotting enemies.

If you have trouble seeing dots, switch to SSAA 4x instead, though performance will tank.
Is it Safe to Swap the DLL?
For single-player games like War Thunder, 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.
