Modder ‘PureDark’ has shared a video, showcasing his upcoming DLSS 3 Mod for Red Dead Redemption 2. According to the modder, DLSS 3 Frame Generation can improve performance by 50% in Red Dead Redemption 2.
In order to capture the following gameplay footage, PureDark used an AMD Ryzen 7 5800 with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070Ti.
Contrary to other games like Star Wars: Jedi Survivor, Red Dead Redemption 2 is not that CPU-bound on the AMD Ryzen 7 5800. Even without DLSS 3, the RTX 4070Ti is used to its fullest. This explains why the gains of DLSS 3 Frame Generation are “only” around 50%.
Now the good news here is that since we’re talking about a 50% increase, the real frames are way more than the AI-produced ones. This basically means that visual artifacts (and input latency) should be kept at a minimum. So yeah, this is a win-win for all RTX 40 series GPU owners.
There is currently no ETA on when the DLSS 3 Mod for Red Dead Redemption 2 will come out. When it does release, though, it will be available exclusively to PureDark’s patrons. And yes, the DLSS 3 Mods for The Last of Us Part I, Jedi Survivor, Elden Ring and Skyrim are still behind a Patreon wall. Not only that, but we don’t know when – and if – these DLSS 3 Mods will ever be widely available to the public.
So, if Starfield does not natively support DLSS 3, its DLSS 3 Mod will not be available for free. This really sucks. We get why PureDark is putting his mods behind a Patreon wall. However, that’s as anti-gamer/anti-consumer as what EA, From Software, and Bethesda are doing.
Stay tuned for more!
