FAQ

What are DLSS files?

DLSS files are NVIDIA libraries used by supported games for features like AI upscaling, frame generation, and ray reconstruction. Files such as nvngx_dlss.dll are bundled with games and can sometimes be updated for better performance or image quality.

How does DLSS Updater work?

It scans a selected game folder, detects DLSS files, and updates them when newer versions are available.

Why choose this over DLSS Swapper?

DLSS Swapper offers more features, but DLSS Updater focuses on simplicity. It's a lightweight, no-setup tool that quickly scans your game folders and updates DLSS files without extra integrations or background processes.

Does it require installation?

No. DLSS Updater is a portable tool and can be run directly from a folder or USB drive.

How large is the download?

The download is around 10 MB. Additional space will be used when downloading updated DLSS files.

Can updating DLSS files break my game?

Yes. Updating DLSS can cause issues in some games. Restore the original file or verify game files through your launcher (Steam, etc.) if this happens.

Why did my antivirus flag DLSS Updater?

This can happen because the tool downloads and replaces files, behaviour similar to some malware, which may trigger heuristic detection. The tool is open source and safe to use when downloaded from the official source.

Why is the GitHub repository currently unavailable?

The repository is currently unavailable following a DMCA notice filed by the owner of the Recol/DLSS-Updater project. I have published additional context and my response to the claims here: Read more.
