DLSS 5 Swapper is a powerful, easy-to-use tool for installing, managing, and restoring DLSS 5 across games and supported emulators. It features automatic game detection, optional drive scanning, DLSS5-Feeder for compatible titles without native DLSS, emulator support, and compatibility with DirectX 9/10/11/12, Vulkan, and OpenGL.
Features
- Easy installation: native DLSS games, or compatible non-DLSS games through DLSS5-Feeder.
- Your library: Steam, Epic, GOG, modern Xbox Game Pass folders, and manually added games/emulators.
- Search and filters: combine title, graphics API, DLSS status/version and add-ons; click counters to filter.
- Flexible layout: group by store or show everything in one list, with game artwork and light/dark themes.
- Controlled scanning: full-drive scanning is off by default. Added folders still scan normally; enable all-drive discovery or remove scan folders in Settings.
- Right-click shortcuts: open/copy folder, rescan, change cover, restore originals or hide a game.
- Backups and History: restore original files, keep installation records, and copy History/activity/install logs.
- In-game overlay: press F8 to open the app’s own panel over the running game and move the real DLSS Neural Rendering sliders while you play. Supports the DLSS5-Feeder and RenoDX v4.7 routes only.
- Rendering API override: optional, per game, with Automatic as the default; detection is never overwritten.
- Custom add-ons: the Add-ons page remains available alongside the integrated installation routes.
