Force DLSS 4 Preset K with new transformer model for better image quality/clarity in motion

[Camellia]

With the 572.16 WHQL nvidia drivers or newer and nvidia profile inspector you can force the game to use the latest DLSS dll and preset K. You cannot force it through the newest version of the Nvidia App as the game is not officially supported.

Preset K is for use with the new transformer model of DLSS 4.

Firstly, you CAN simply use the latest DLSS 310.2.1.0 and either manually replace the one in the gamer files yourself or use DLSS swapper and it will automatically use DLSS tranformer model with Preset K. No need to change anything in NPI it will default to K. This other method I am going to show through Nvidia Profile Inspector I think is a more streamlined process once you learn it, since there is no manual DLSS swap/replace needed.

No DLSS swap needed here. All you need is the latest Nvidia Profile Inspector and I also recommend using this Custom XML file found here for an easier process: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/i...tsr-and-mods-etc.439761/page-185#post-6300235 -This post will be updated when they make changes

Rename the file to remove the .txt at the end so it's just "CustomSettingNames.xml' without quotations.

How to setup:

First: Install the latest Nvidia drivers: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/drivers/

Second: Download and extract the latest version of Nvidia Profile Inspector: https://github.com/Orbmu2k/nvidiaProfileInspector/releases

Third: Take the downloaded CustomSettingNames XML file [pastebin.com] from earlier and place it in the same folder with the Nvidia Profile Inspector executable. REMEMBER TO RENAME IT AND REMOVE THE .TXT IF PRESENT SO THE FILE IS NAMED CustomSettingNames.xml

Like so: https://u.cubeupload.com/DaemonCipher/f7bScreenshot2025020720.png

Fourth: Open Nvidia Profile Inspector and click on the little sun looking icon on the top row to create a new profile for FFVII Rebirth as there isn't one already. Name it whatever but I named it "FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH" to match with Remake's profile name.

Fifth: Click the Add Application button on the top row and navigate to the location of the game's executable: "SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\End\Binaries\Win64" and select the game's executable to add it which is "ff7rebirth_.exe".

Sixth: In the new profile you created, under the very first section labelled "DLSS Override", Click on the drop down options for "DLSS - Enable DLL Override" and select "On - DLSS overridden by latest available". Then, open the drop down options for "DLSS - Forced Preset Letter" and select either "K" or "Always use latest".

Should look like this when done: https://u.cubeupload.com/DaemonCipher/Screenshot2025021204.png

VII: Click on "Apply Settings" at the top right in Nvidia Profile Inspector and close, you're all set.

This should work with most if not all games that support DLSS2/3 natively.

To confirm that the game is using the newest DLSS DLL (310.2.1.0) and Preset K, you can enable the DLSS Indicator hud following this guide to enable/disable the setting in windows Registry Editor: https://www.pcgamer.com/nvidia-dlss-indicator/#comment-jump

Alternatively you can use DLSS tweaks to enable or disable the hud.

When i looked into dlss swapper i cant find dlss 4 though?

Edit : ah it's called 3.10:)

DLSS Swapper works but you still need to force the new preset, using either DLSS Tweaks or Nvidia Inpsector. Don't have a guide on hand but I'm sure it's out there, it's not complicated.

Another option is waiting for official drivers which will have DLSS override built-in, probably coming next month at or after the 5090 launch.

Didn't help performance at all unfortunately. Frame rate for me is all over the place. I only played the game for like an hour and I was already playing at 6K, but its a 2.25x DSR-DL resolution, does appear to be sharper than it was before. It looked kinda blurry on some things. So far it's stable, so I'm gonna keep running it.

Yeah tried it out myself and performance was pretty much same but definitely looks better so keepin it as well.

If image quality is better then people could possibly lower to the balanced or performance DLSS setting with less clarity trade off which is a way it could benefit performance as the lower settings become more viable.

I play on a 4k display and use quality but I’ve seen reports from people running 1440p internal res with balanced or even performance being much better looking more viable than before.

on cyberpunk at least, 4k ultra performance with dlss 4 looks miles better than 1440p quality on dlss 3

Apparently you actually don't need to force the preset at least for this game. I've heard many other games default to profile J as well. For FFVII Rebirth just the DLL swap is enough, it will use profile J.

Using DLSS Tweaks you can enable the hud that shows the profile in use.

You can now force the newest DLSS DLL and the new Profile K (A refined version of the Profile J) with the newest Nvidia drivers and Nvidia Profile Inspector. It will not work through the Nvidia App as the game is not supported officially.

I updated the dll and the driver at the same time and ended up with some weird tearing issues, but I'm not exactly sure what's to blame. The udpated dlss dll seems to be fine, don't think that was responsible.

Can anyone tell me what kind of drugs you guys are doing ? I watched 20 tutorials, and none of them say how to get to those dlss settings, my nvidia inspector program never shows any kind of dlss settings, even with custom xml file... and this is with 4090.

Sixth: In the new profile you created you'll see a section near the top that is labled "DLSS Override 3.1.11+". Within that section set "DLSS - Super Resolution Override" to "On" and change "DLSS - Force DLSS preset" to "Preset K".

This part doesn't work for me unforunately, it doesn't create that section

Sorry, i dont see anything, no K profile, and dlss sr/rr/fg override settings are not even listed, and these custom xml files dont even contain any info about dlss settings... Settings group "other" is missing too.

the quickest and easiest thing to do would be to download DLL Swapper off of Github I think, after it scans your games, you'll see a list of games that support DLSS, and it will allow you to download the latest version of DLSS and swap it out for whatever version the game came with. I wouldn't say you get the ability to change profiles the way people are talking about, but at least in the case of this game, it doesn't matter. Either one of the latest DLSS 4.0 dll's is an upgrade from the one the game came with.

Try using only the CustomSettingNames.xml provided with a NVPI downloaded direct from Github.
