MODS, hope this follows the rules now!
I only found about this myself yesterday, so it could be that it was just difficult to find a game with a bug that would allow for this, also I have tried it and made some experimetnts. In RTSS it shows double the FPS but it crashes 1-5 seconds after starting the first level. Without RTSS it feels smother but I don’t have the equipment to confirm double the FPS. I would reccomend other people to try it and share their findings.

It appears that DLSS 3 (Frame Generation ) performs seamlessly on older NVIDIA graphics cards equipped with tensor cores. These findings are preliminary, so additional testing by the community would be beneficial for validation. If corroborated, it would suggest that NVIDIA is unnecessarily restricting this feature on cards that are otherwise fully capable.
For those interested in replicating the process, follow these steps:
1. Install ‘Portal Prelude’ on your system.
2. Replace the existing DLL for frame generation with version 1.0.1, available at TechPowerUp’s website: [NVIDIA DLSS 3.0 Frame Generation DLL](https://www.techpowerup.com/download/nvidia-dlss-3-frame-generation-dll/).
3. Enable V-Sync through the NVIDIA Control Panel.
4. Adjust your maximum refresh rate to be 1-2 frames less than your monitor’s maximum rate, also via the NVIDIA Control Panel.
5. Activate DLSS frame generation within the game settings.
6. Enjoy your enhanced gaming experience.
Important Note: RTSS crashes the game frequently with frame gen on following this guide. It works long enought to demonstrate the double frames before crashing but if you actually play you have to turn it off. I haven’t tried with other performance monitors yet.
If this was enabled in more games we could have a better competition and features all around in the graphics cards market.
It seems that the NVIDIA overlay works in measuring the improvement, FPS increases from 34 to 66-67. Also latency is pretty good. Using 2070 super.

My Nvidia control panel general settings in case someone wants to reproduce this:

(My monitor has 75 max frame rate), yesterday it worked fine limiting Max frame rate to 35 today I tested using 74 and it seemed fine.

This needs more upvotes.
this should have been a thing from the beginning… its bullshit to lock dlss 3.5 behind 40 series GPU..it should work on ALL RTX cards!!
Very interested to test this for myself with a 3080, I’ll edit after I try. Pretty crazy if true…
That’s what driverside fake frames from AMD does to the market.
Oh look… LMAO
And this is exactly why I don’t buy into ngreedia, I said it from the start that they locked FG to the 40 series to make people buy those instead of the 30 series. AMD proved that older cards can also do FG just fine, it’s just Nvidia that doesn’t want to give consumers that luxury without buying the latest and greatest cards.
Will be removed again, Nvidia hates telling the truth that they never changed a thing on the OFA, despite the wildest Nvidia hivemind claims how it was reworked to be 500% faster lmao
Did nvida ever say that it can’t run on these cards ? Like if they did then I would absolutely get a lawyer since that’s false advertising to bad gamers are poor.
I wonder if this works on other games?
[This was discovered almost a year ago](https://wccftech.com/nvidia-dlss-3-frame-generation-lock-reportedly-bypassed-rtx-2070-gets-double-the-fps/) but the story didn’t evolve much further back then. Now that Portal Prelude’s DLSS integration has been bypassed, it’s just a matter of time before bypass mods start showing up for other games. If enough games get bypassed, Nvidia might cave in and enable DLSS Frame Generation for all RTX GPUs.
Wasn’t this… obvious? I’ve been using FSR2 mods for my 10 series gtx achieving a palpable difference in FPS on newer games. The older series are totally capable of DLSS/FSR, it’s just greed from their part.
