The new version of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 was released just over a month ago, so there aren’t many games that support it yet. However, a Cyberpunk 2077 modder is trying to change that with a homemade implementation of AMD’s new fast zoom method in an RPG. It seems to work too.
Created by prolific Cyberpunk modder PotatoOfDoom, the FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 mod for Cyberpunk 2077 replaces Cyberpunk 2077’s existing Nvidia DLSS timeline with AMD FSR 2.0. Due to the way FSR and DLSS work, this is a fairly simple process, at least in theory: you just need to remove the DLSS dynamic link library (or .dll) that Cyberpunk 2077 uses with new ones that translate DLSS to FSR 2.0 commands.
While the mod is still in development, PotatoOfDoom says the results are already impressive: The modder says that on the GTX 1080 it enables Cyberpunk 2077 to hit 45fps at upscaled 4K resolution, roughly double the framerate achieved by using games. . DLSS map pack.
Gamers who have tried the mod have also seen encouraging results, with one claiming that the mod allows their GTX 970 to run Cyberpunk 2077 at ultra settings at 1080p at 30fps, although they do notice a lot of “ghosting” while driving. Another says his 5700XT went from 50fps to 86fps on ultra (with shadows reduced to “medium”) thanks to this mod.
PotatoOfDoom warns that the mod was originally intended only for the Steam version of Cyberpunk 2077, but it seems a recent update has made it work with the GOG version as well.
This is a potential solution for those who find Cyberpunk 2077 too demanding for their older PCs. You can find it on Nexus Mods, along with instructions on how to install it (and remove it if that’s a problem). As always, edit at your own risk and with caution.
