Replacing the exact per-MMA f16 rounding with f32 FP8 accumulation requires a
new layer/reference validation; it is not justified by the observed CPU stalls.
Further game coverage (HIP kernel profiling disabled, GPU output checks enabled):
M at 1920x1080 completes 4833 frames, all finite. K at 3840x2160 completes
4685 frames, all finite. Neither has a backend failure, CPU image copy or an
aged-frame fallback. Their mean interop/NGX CPU stages total about 13.6 and
10.1 ms respectively; these are different scenes, not a K/M comparison.
The no-debugger K/4K run completes 5774 frames, with 5774 finite output scans
and 63514 native transformer launches. The user reports 38-42 FPS. Additional
CPU measurements exclude replay/publication as the main cause of low FPS:
| CPU measurement | Mean, ms | Median, ms |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| Command split setup | 0.284 | 0.275 |
| State replay within split setup | 0.025 | 0.023 |
| Submitted texture state publication | 0.029 | 0.029 |
| Consumer suffix completion | 0.405 | 0.409 |
| NGX recording interval | 27.474 | 28.466 |
Recording intervals are between NGX recording calls on the same thread, not
DXGI Present times. The interval includes rendering and application scheduling.
A second K/4K run with the attached debugger completes 3567 frames without
failure, with median recording interval 30.091 ms. The runs include different
menu/game states; this does not establish a precise debugger FPS speedup.
Its sparse debugger events also rule out a per-kernel OutputDebugString storm.
An earlier control that stayed on the startup screen completed zero DLSS frames
and is excluded. Normal game launches now omit the attached debugger; crash
diagnostics remain available with `-CaptureExceptions`.
The 2961-frame 4K K profile identifies the translated output tail as its largest
kernel: 4.401670 ms mean GPU time, versus about 2.875 ms for all eleven native
transformer layers combined. Ported upstream's texture-store recipe to native
Windows. It retains accuracy mode, wave32, FP16 subnormals and f16 reference
accumulation; native FP8 remains disabled.
Both output variants execute on every checked frame and match the previous
RGB output bit-exactly: eight consecutive 512x288 frames per variant, then
three consecutive 3840x2160 frames per variant. All RGBA components are finite.
Identical synthetic inputs and public NGX flags give these 4K event times
(three samples each; host initialization and readback are outside the event):
| K output variant | Translated mean, ms | Native stores mean, ms |
| --- | ---: | ---: |
| LDR, regular depth, high-resolution MV | 2.907823 | 1.803233 |
| HDR, inverted depth, low-resolution MV | 2.978547 | 2.088347 |
A subsequent game run executes 6221 frames with the native HDR output tail,
zero backend failures and mean tail GPU time 1.801918 ms. The earlier game
profile's 4.401670 ms is from a different scene/scheduling state; use the
identical-input table for the controlled comparison, not an inferred FPS
multiplier. This profiled game run did not enable the NaN scan.
Reproduce the private texture build and full-frame comparisons:
```powershell
.\scripts\windows\build-native-texture.ps1 -DlssDll "$PWD\nvngx_dlss.dll"
.\scripts\windows\build-native-texture.ps1 -DlssDll "$PWD\nvngx_dlss.dll" -Kernel hiluma_engine_output_depthreg_mvhi_ldr_max_v2_rel
.\scripts\windows\test-native-texture.ps1 -OutputResolution 3840x2160 -Iterations 3
```
These objects contain code derived from the locally supplied NVIDIA PTX. They
stay in ignored local directories and are excluded from the public package.
The installer accepts them with `-LocalTextureKernels` only after validation,
checking the exact DLL identity, object and manifest hashes. M retains its
independently validated FP16-equivalent baseline.
