Can't enable DLSS frame gen on a 4090?

[Maldonado]

Anyone know why this is greyed out for me? If I switch to FSR I can enable the FSR FG, but not with DLSS.

4090 here works fine for me

Wonder if the game has a specific check for HAGS on the Registry? It's been forever so I don't remember how it works, but if there's a way to insert a registry key in the Proton/wine config. try adding this:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers]
"HwSchMode"=dword:00000002

I thought this was a smart idea, so I imported the key, and my FG was still greyed out. Someone else should definitely try, just to make sure I didn't do something wrong

Tried it as well, no dice.
May be worth noting that the key `GraphicsDrivers` did not exist in that path prior to me adding this.

edit: for clarity, also linux. Nobara 41, proton experimental (though i've tried hotfix, as well as all the GE-protons from 9-23 to 9-27 inclusive

edit the 2nd: I also tried swapping out all the dlss and streamline dlls for ones from a game I *could* enable framegen on (Cyberpunk 2077)

who fix it 4080s FG disable

No they aren't. Do devs need to work harder to optimize their games? Yes, of course. But for people with lower end machines, it's a godsend and will make a game playable at a reasonable quality level.

Ah, yes. The technology that discourages the developers to actually optimize games in favor of forcing players to smear their screen with vaseline and calling it "next gen AI frame generation". What a godsend. Can't get enough of DLSS in my games. Give me 144p gaming with upscaling to 8k, can't wait. Why bother with breathing manually anymore, soon we'll have a brand new "next gen AI technology" for that.

You have to turn on hardware accelerated gpu scheduling. And it does make a big difference. I'm using frame generation - automatic and DLAA quality mode with everything else on ultra, and it looks and runs amazing on my 4090.

it's called a "cpap machine" and probably the best investment I ever made, considered I no longer have debilitating migraines and cramps every morning

Dang. I'm out of ideas, I'm a Windows user, DLSS frame generation requires HAGS to be enabled so, my shot in the dark was "maybe if the reg key is present the game will believe it's that"

Next things I'd try are WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=0 %command%" on Steam CMD and DXVK_CONFIG="dxgi.hideAmdGpu = True" if you're on Ryzen and have the iGPU enabled, I'll keep an eye and if I hear anything from friends that game on Linux I'll let you guys know

It's been forever and I'm just now relearning Linux (mostly for my server)

Yeah they're on Linux tho, that seems to be the issue

i am also experiencing this issue on linux mint 22.1, proton experimental, rtx 4070 ti with driver 570.86.15, have tried a lot and cannot get it to work.

Also experiencing this on Fedora 42 with Hyprland and gamescope.

Turns out for me at least, it was because I had hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling turned off. Turning it on made the option accessible.

would you know how to turn this on within bazzite or proton settings?

That is a Windows option, I am unsure why he replied to that post with that.

I've been monitoring this thread off and on while trying to resolve the issue and I'm coming to the conclusion that it is simply impossible to enable DLSS Frame Gen on Linux. I've done the following:

* Verified integrity of game cache
* Full uninstall/reinstall of the game
* Tried various versions of Proton (Hotfix, Experimental, GE, and CachyOS)
* Switched to a completely different Linux distribution (tried with both Fedora 42 and CachyOS)
* Updated to the latest Nvidia beta drivers
* Created a registry key in WINE to show HAGS as enabled
* Used the "WINE_DISABLE_HARDWARE_SCHEDULING=0" command
* Used the dxgi command to hide an AMD GPU (I don't have one, but wanted to test)
* Used DLSS4 prefixes to force frame gen on

Everything failed. I genuinely don't know what else could possibly be tried at this point - especially since I forced frame gen on and still didn't turn on. I think we're just going to have to wait for someone out there to fix it.

You're making my argument for me. Frame gen's existence serves as a replacement for optimization. A gas mask would also be godsend for someone in a smog riddled city, but we're clearly addressing a symptom here.

OG Oblivion would chug along at 6-10 fps on my PC back in '06, and no video game company gave a rats tail about it. My only option was to get a better computer. If I were in the same boat today I could enable frame gen, and if the fake ai frames bothered me that much then I could still go buy a more powerful computer and run it the traditional way. PC games have always been designed for high end hardware, up until recently the only thing to be done about it was to spend a ton of money keeping up with new releases. Now we have more options, which is a good thing.

Or to use your own metaphor, YES a gas mask is a godsend to people who need it, and you'd be a jerk to argue they shouldn't be made just because you don't need one.

Try enabling Resizable BAR Support in your bios.

Did you all delete the folder while trying to make the game crash less?
