d4r runs NVIDIA's official DLSS Super Resolution library (`nvngx_dlss.dll`) in Windows games on AMD Radeon GPUs under Linux and Proton. The game asks for DLSS as usual; the DLSS network runs on the AMD GPU through [ZLUDA](https://github.com/vosen/ZLUDA) (CUDA on ROCm/HIP), with the heaviest DLSS kernels replaced by hand-written RDNA3 and RDNA4 code.
**Supported DLSS models:** DLSS 3 CNN (E), DLSS 4 transformer (K, default), and DLSS 4.5 transformer (M). DLSS 5 is not supported.
**Supported DLSS models:** DLSS 3 CNN (E), DLSS 4 transformer (K, default), and DLSS 4.5 transformer (M). DLSS 5 is PURPOSELY not supported.
**Proof of concept:** d4r shows that DLSS can run on an AMD GPU, but it is not really that practical for everyday use yet. It has been tested on one GPU in a handful of games and depends on unreleased patches to ZLUDA and vkd3d-proton.

## Known issues
- In some games native upscaling can show visible artifacting.
- In some games using some models native upscaling can show visible artifacting.
For users who prioritize fidelity over speed, set `[Kernels] PreferAccuracy = true` in `d4r/d4r.ini` and restart the game. It defaults to `false`. This selects accuracy variants of every native kernel and restores conservative translation settings. It aims to match NVIDIA's arithmetic; 1:1 image quality against RTX DLSS is not yet proven. See [native kernel numerics](docs/native-kernels.md#numerics).
## GPU support
d4r builds for RDNA3 and RDNA4. A newly built release compiles native DLSS 4 and 4.5 network kernels for the targets below and selects the matching set at runtime. Only the RX 7700 XT has been tested on a real GPU; RDNA4 runtime and performance remain unverified on hardware.

Only the RX 7700 XT has been tested by this project on a real GPU; an external video reports DLSS 4.5 running through d4r 0.1.2 on an RX 7900 XTX. RDNA4 runtime and performance remain unverified on hardware.

Native network kernels are built for all listed gfx11/gfx12 targets. Texture kernels are compiled for each target by `d4r_emit` when supplied to the package script; RDNA4 also has a `-fp8` variant. The bridge selects the KFD GPU with the most SIMDs, avoiding an integrated GPU when a discrete GPU is present; `D4R_GPU_ARCH` overrides that choice. Missing native kernels fall back to ZLUDA. Without the native network kernels, NVIDIA's translated DLSS 4 layers produce invalid values and DLSS discards the network's output, so K loses the transformer's image quality. Preset E does not use the native network kernels.

The bridge selects the KFD GPU with the most SIMDs, avoiding an integrated GPU when a discrete GPU is present; `D4R_GPU_ARCH` overrides that choice. Missing native kernels fall back to ZLUDA and can be much slower. Earlier translated K layers produced invalid values; preserving FP16 denormal handling fixes that failure in recorded captures, but RTX image-quality parity remains unverified. Preset E does not use the native network kernels.
