DLSS Enabler Manager Adds Easy Multi-Frame Generation for NVIDIA and AMD GPUs

DLSS Enabler Manager has been created to simplify installing DLSS Enabler mods for games in a few clicks. The software can handle generating multiple frames using either FSR frame generation on older NVIDIA GPUs and AMD GPUs, such as the GTX 10-series, RTX 20-series, RTX 30-series, RX 6000-series, and RX 7000-series.

For the official 5x and 6x multi-frame generation modes, support was added in DLSS Enabler 4.5.0, enabling users to increase the frame rate even if the hardware is not natively supported. The creator of the DLSS Enabler Manager contacted us via email and explained that the application was developed as an easier version of the Optiscaler client.

The idea behind the manager is simple. The mod can be installed directly through the mod manager, eliminating the need for users to manually install it in each game folder.

Downloading and Installing the DLSS Enabler Manager

The DLSS Enabler Manager can be located online via a Google search or directly from its website. The download files are accessible on the website, but not necessarily shown on the GitHub page. Once you download the ZIP archive, you only need to extract the folder and run the manager executable.

After opening the software, the installation process is simple. Just click the supported game, then click “Install Mod,” and the game's required files will be installed automatically. Games that were tested, such as Marvel's Spider-Man, functioned as normal once installed.

The manager will also let you set up the injection key and toggle key. DLSS Enabler Manager lets you remap controls to other keys, such as Home, unlike Optiscaler, which typically uses the Insert key. This assists people with keyboards that lack certain keys, such as the tilde.

The UI is Still in Need of some Improvements

The software is functional, but the UI needs improvement. Some text is overlaid on menus, making some of the options hard to read. There are also some controls without text boxes or descriptions, which leads to confusion when navigating the menu. It looks like the layout is functional but incomplete. Misaligned elements and confusing areas make software less palatable to new users.

Although it has the capability, the user interface needs some usability improvements. The compatibility of games is not consistent. Games are not always compatible. Tests indicated that compatibility will depend on the game. Some titles launched successfully, while others didn't even recognize the mod after it was installed.

For instance, Crimson Desert could not be worked on, despite several attempts to install the same fix, using different injection methods. After installing the mod, Kronos also failed to launch. Some newer games exhibited similar characteristics. The inconsistencies indicate a compatibility issue that depends on both the DLSS Enabler implementation and the game. Some titles allow the injection method to work, though others do not work at startup or during mod loading.

Multi-Frame Generation Performance Testing

A successful mod meant we had access to frame generation controls right from the overlay menu. During testing, Silent Hill was one of the primary examples. Running the game at 4K resolution with ray tracing enabled, FSR4 Int8 upscaled files, and DLSS Performance mode. With frame generation enabled, the base frame rate started at 49 fps and ramped up to 100 fps with 2x frame generation.

The change to 3x frame generation pushed performance even higher, bringing it close to 143 fps. The performance increased to approximately 180 fps in 4x mode, though the base frame rate had dropped slightly. With higher frame-generation modes, output frame rates continued to rise, but image quality began to suffer at lower base frame rates.

The 40 fps base frame rate and the 6x mode with around 250 fps were both quite good. The lower the base frame rate, the more noticeable the artifacts will be. Nevertheless, the resulting frames were still usable, given the considerable leap from approximately 40 fps to almost 240 fps or more.

Artifacts and Frame Quality

There are still enough artifacts visible at higher frame generations, particularly at 5x and 6x. But the visual problems were still within the tolerances allowed by the number of frames produced. The software accommodated motion interpolation better than anticipated. Creating frames from a rough 40 fps, or even higher, to more than 240 fps typically leads to noticeable jitteriness and instability in the image, which is not what the player would want for gameplay.

When playing at 3x frame generation, there is less of an artifact because the base frame rate hasn't dropped as much. Lower multipliers resulted in more stable visuals and still in large frame rate improvements. It also has other tweaks like Ghostbuster, FPS limit, Overdrive, and HUD detection. Additional controls for users who wish to further modify frame-generation behavior.

Useful Multi-Frame Generation Support Works Better

The official multi-frame generation behavior differed for games that already support it. Users are not required to use the overlay menu to select the desired frame generation level; they can make this choice directly in the game's graphics settings. The software automatically switched to the next frame-generation mode without manual intervention when switching from lower to higher modes.

In testing with Spider-Man, the frame rates jumped significantly to 244 fps, up from a much lower rendered frame rate. Despite implementing FSR 3 frame generation rather than FSR 4 machine-learning techniques, some visual artifacts remained, yet performance gains were still palpable.

DLSS Enabler Manager: Offers a more streamlined installation process.

The DLSS Enabler Manager enables much easier mod installation than manual installation. The software makes it easy to install frame-generation mods without altering the game folders and to customize controls. But there are still some compatibility problems in multiple games, and a bit of tweaking to the interface.

Compared with the Optiscaler and the Optiscaler Client, the software is less stable overall. Despite these constraints, the manager offers a convenient way to enable multi-frame generation on older NVIDIA and AMD GPUs using FSR frame generation technology.
