NVIDIA App 11.0.9 brings DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction and per-game Resizable BAR

NVIDIA released version 11.0.9 of the NVIDIA App, shifting more control panel functionality into the modern interface. This update matters because it gives gamers direct access to advanced rendering features without leaving the application. Users can now configure specific graphical settings for individual titles rather than applying changes globally. The update also resolves several long-standing display and color depth issues.

Update adds per-game Resizable BAR controls and DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction

The centerpiece of this release is the integration of DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction. This feature uses a second-generation transformer model that NVIDIA announced earlier this year to improve image quality. Players can select this model directly through the Program Settings menu in the NVIDIA App. This streamlined access makes it easier to enable advanced upscaling on supported hardware.

• DLSS Ray Reconstruction Model: 4.5 (second-generation transformer model)
• Resizable BAR Control Scope: Per-game (Graphics > Program Settings > Driver Settings > Resizable BAR)
• New Supported Games (DLSS Override): 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, Gothic 1 Remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Subnautica 2, NBA 2K27, Painkiller RTX, The Blood of Dawnwalker
• Optimal Playable Settings Additions: Borderless Windowed mode support for 10 games
• Bug Fixes: Battlefield 4 game filters, Photo Mode Super Resolution colors, per-app Image Sharpening, 10-bit output color depth with YCbCr444

NVIDIA also introduced per-game Resizable BAR controls for the first time. Users can find this setting under Graphics, then Program Settings, and finally Driver Settings. Previously, Resizable BAR was only adjustable via broader driver profiles. This granular control allows users to optimize performance for specific titles that benefit from the feature. The update adds Borderless Windowed mode support to Optimal Playable Settings for ten new games.

DLSS Override support has expanded to include eight additional titles. The new list features 007 First Light, Forza Horizon 6, Gothic 1 Remake, Halo: Campaign Evolved, Subnautica 2, NBA 2K27, Painkiller RTX, and The Blood of Dawnwalker. These games can now leverage NVIDIA's rendering tech even if they are not natively supported. The update also fixes Battlefield 4 game filters and corrects Photo Mode Super Resolution colors. Per-app Image Sharpening and 10-bit output with YCbCr444 are now stable.

We touched on NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Ray Reconstruction Update in our earlier Nvidia coverage. This release consolidates several key features into a single software package. Gamers with compatible NVIDIA GPUs can now access these tools through a unified interface. The update is available immediately for users who have the NVIDIA App installed.
