Summary
DLSSG SM86 lets RTX 30-series owners run NVIDIA’s DLSS Multi Frame Generation in 2X and 4X modes, a feature NVIDIA officially limits to RTX 50-series Blackwell cards.
The mod keeps NVIDIA’s own DLSS models rather than swapping in AMD FSR, using a proxy backend for Ampere’s SM86 architecture that redirects frame-generation calls without modifying game files.
Early tests on an RTX 3080 Ti showed Black Myth: Wukong rising from 50 FPS to 150 FPS at 4X, while Cyberpunk 2077 with path tracing climbed from 35 FPS to 100 FPS.
An RTX 3080 demo also showed Cyberpunk moving from about 42 FPS to 74 FPS in 2X mode and 120 FPS in 4X, though the developer says frametime, latency and long-run stability remain unverified.
The release adds to mounting evidence from recent DLSS ports that NVIDIA’s generational feature walls may be softer than its official hardware limits suggest.
