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.
https://www.techpowerup.com/review/nvidia-dlss-4-transformers-image-quality/

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

Direct Link to Custom XML: https://pastebin.com/rNKMuCGs

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.

There should be a driver update later this month that adds this into the NVIDIA app.

Seems you can force DLSS 4 using the new DLSS DLL from the new Cyberpunk update. Should work with any game that has support for swapping DLSS DLL files.

DLSS 4 is not exclusive to 5000 series, it's only the Multi Frame Generation part of DLSS 4 that is exclusive to the 5000 series of cards. Most aspects of DLSS 4 was always planned to be a general enhancement for DLSS for all cards that support DLSS.

Might run better but it should look better especially in motion.

Possibly requires the forcing of Profile J for it to use the new transformer model.

Too muuch work

If I can use multi-frame generation on my 3080 like I can use frame gen on my 3080 despite it supposedly being only possible on 40 series hardware, they're going to be pretty pissed.

IM confused how do you force the profile J after putting it next to the Nvidiaprofile exe

Drag and drop the ff7rebirth.exe in to nividia profile then scroll down to:
DLSS 3.1.11+ - Forced DLSS3.1 preset letter (base profile only)

click on the drop down menu and pick Preset J and apply changes and your done

[Alt0153]

you dont need to force the preset if you replace the dll it defaults to J but you dont get the new transformer model afaik that has to be done in game and that option is only in cp2077

[Kashra Fall]

DLSS4 forcing is an update coming on the 30th for all Nvidia cards back to the 2k series. They already explained this and jumping ahead to do it without the proper update might result in problems, so do so at your own risk. Official update will be done through the nvidia app starting on the 30th of Jan.

It'll be fine since it's a game specific tweak. It's not going to brick peoples' cards or something.

There's reports of the transformer model working in other games *shrugs*. Check the reddit post I linked.

While that's great and all that's a week away and I'd like to play a good chunk of Rebirth by then. Just revert the changes when the official drivers/nvidia app DLSS 4 support update come out.
