Enabling DLSS Frame Generation on 4000 series NVIDIA cards [OUTDATED] FG SETTING IS NOW IN THE GAME

[Zak]

EDIT (15 Oct 2024)

The Frame Generation checkbox is now available, as of today's game patch 1.0.0.4, in the game settings under Video. The settings tweak described here is no longer necessary.

If you enabled FG in the settings file by hand before, it has been disabled by the patch and you need to go to the game settings and check the option to have it back.

EDIT (13 Oct 2024)

There is a mod now that does this, for those who don't want to mess around with settings files:

ORIGINAL POST:

While troubleshooting a different issue related to DLSS not working for me, I accidentally came across this tidbit of information.

The plugins and support for DLSS Frame Generation have been added to the game (I noticed the nvngx_dlssg.dll in the game directory) but there is no UI yet to enable it. But you can enable Frame Generation though now by editing the Engine.ini file. Just make sure to update your NVIDIA drivers first. Remember that Frame Generation requires a 4000 series NVIDIA card.

This is not 100% verified and unsupported so you do this at your own risk. I played for several hours yesterday without any negative side effects.

Add this to the Engine.ini file:[/script/engine.renderersettings]
t.Streamline.Reflex.Enable=1
r.Streamline.DLSSG.Enable=1

This fixed my DLSS not working, added Frame Generation and I got like 50% FPS boost from it on a 4080.

If your game starts crashing or something then just delete this from Engine.ini.

The DLSS FG AMD equivalent (FSR FI?) was also added but I don't know how/if you can enable it for AMD cards.

I'm on 3000 series and added this along with using Uniscaler preview 11 to get FSR3 frame gen. This works very well expect for constant long freezes and eventual crashing, so a native FSR3.1 while also using DLSS would be great.

EDIT: Enabling FSR in game forces both upscaling and frame gen with no way to turn frame gen on/off. Obviously not great for Nvidia users in terms of image quality...

Thanks!! works perfect for me, I noticed maybe more stutters when loading the game, but after a few seconds it's smooth.... the game really needs this because if you go close to the pink tree area on ultra settings, GPU usage goes down to 50% and I know this isn't my PC fault.
Thanks again for this!

I don't know what Uniscaler is but I've heard of mods allowing FSR on older NVIDIA cards. Is that what it is?

Yes, that's exactly what it is. I've really never had great luck with any of the versions though and varies depending on the game. Native DLSSG would be a lot easier than a translation mod.

Nice. You're welcome :) My jaw dropped when I ran this for the first time, easy 50% FPS boost, though my DLSS wasn't working at all before this. Hopefully they will add a UI setting for FG in some future patch.

Yeah, this sounds a bit hacky to get AMD tech to run on NVIDIA silicon. It's amazing that they can even do this. I wonder if there really is a technical reason or just marketing to limit Frame Gen to 4000 cards only.

It’s probably mostly marketing. I’m not a fan of FSR upscaling, but when you combine DLSS upscaling, FSR FG, and Reflex, it’s really really good. Decoupled and functional FSR3.1 implementations are scarce so that trifecta almost never happens.

Fantastic. I have the game running at 240FPS on my 4090 now at 1440p

Yes. I just checked before answering. This is how it is in my own Engine.ini file.

U R right, i took a look into the nVidia Specs T is correct.
