Important
First-launch restart required: After installing or updating the addon, the first launch may perform DLSS-G kernel compilation and exhibit temporary stutter or uneven pacing. Let compilation finish, then fully restart the game once before evaluating performance or image quality.
DLSS-G workload optimization
- Added conservative fast paths for saturated confidence, interior-border and candidate-agreement cases.
- Full quality calculations remain active for difficult pixels and boundary regions.
- NVIDIA driver JIT validation reduced the synthetic kernel from 19 to 18 registers per thread.
- Common identity paths can avoid up to 28 PTX operations. The real-world gain depends on the game, resolution and scene; this is not a universal FPS or latency guarantee.
Latency measurement and guard reliability
- Fixed timing validation that could remain permanently in
Timing unverified. - Source timing now validates from Simulation + Present markers, while queue timing is validated independently.
- The UI now reports exact validation reasons, median/p95 queue and pipeline timing, active GPU work, DLSS-G workload, dominant observed stage and monitoring overhead.
- Automatic Latency Guard remains opt-in. It tests a lower addon-forced multiplier first, may then test a small source-rate trim, and rolls back when measured latency does not improve.
Monitor Onlyremains the default.
VRAM and resource diagnostics
- Added read-only process VRAM and DLSS-G resource diagnostics for future optimization work.
- No experimental resource-release behavior is enabled in this release.
Compatibility and validation
- Existing Adaptive Quality behavior and difficult-region quality paths are preserved.
- Clean release build completed successfully.
- All 16 automated tests passed.
- Modified quality PTX was accepted by the NVIDIA driver JIT.
Thanks to everyone who tested the experimental builds and supplied pacing, latency and image-quality feedback.
