DLSS-NR-on-AMD Alpha 0.4.0 Delivers 74% Performance Boost on Radeon GPUs in Single Day

We track unofficial workarounds that let AMD gamers use NVIDIA’s DLSS 5 Neural Rendering, and the latest patch changes the performance math for our readers. Developer Daniel (danielblnc) released Alpha 0.4.0 on September 2026, delivering a 74% total performance boost over version 0.3.2 in a single day. This rapid iteration means users who struggled with low frame rates can now hit playable speeds without waiting for official driver support.

Unofficial DLSS 5 patch boosts Radeon RX 9000 frame rates from 30 to 50 FPS

The tool operates as a software bridge, enabling DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on AMD Radeon GPUs through unofficial workarounds. DLSS 5 Neural Rendering typically causes significant performance losses on all GPUs, including RTX 50 series cards losing nearly 50% or more. The developer’s patches aim to counteract these inherent hits by optimizing how the rendering pipeline handles AMD hardware.

Testing in Cyberpunk 2077 at 3440x1440p on a Radeon RX 9000 shows the practical impact of these updates. The developer previously reported barely touching 30 FPS with earlier versions, but the new build found the GPU hitting 50 FPS. This jump from 30 to 50 FPS represents a substantial improvement for high-resolution gaming on this specific hardware.

The developer provided direct quotes highlighting the speed of these improvements. He stated there was a “BIG 23% performance improvement over the last version, 0.3.2” and described the subsequent update as a “staggering ‘42%’ performance improvement over version 0.3.3.” These consecutive jumps explain how the total 74% gain was achieved so quickly.

The developer told the YouTuber that another major update is coming soon that should bring a substantial performance boost. The tool is reportedly compatible with the Radeon RX 7000 series, although this support has not been definitively confirmed. Based on current progress, the developer may soon achieve performance levels comparable to NVIDIA’s official implementation.

Confirmed facts show Alpha 0.4.0 delivers a 74% total performance boost over version 0.3.2 in a single day. The utility enables DLSS 5 Neural Rendering on AMD Radeon GPUs via unofficial workarounds. DLSS 5 Neural Rendering typically causes significant performance losses on all GPUs.
