TL;DR

Developer Wehaveall released AMDLSS5 2.0, an experimental mod that brings DLSS 5 neural rendering to Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT cards with a reported 64% performance increase over other mods.

Developer Wehaveall has released version 2.0 of AMDLSS5, an experimental mod that brings DLSS 5 neural rendering to Radeon RX 9070 and RX 9070 XT GPUs. This version uses a new engine and no longer requires files from Daniel Blanco's DLSS-NR-on-AMD mod. Wehaveall claims the update provides up to a 64% performance uplift compared to unnamed other mods. In a Resident Evil Requiem test at 4K with FSR on an RX 9070 XT, version 2.0 averaged 101.2 FPS with 78.5 FPS 1% lows, compared to 91.3 FPS and 66.0 FPS on version 1.6.1.

Supported games include PRAGMATA, Nioh 3, and GTA 5 Enhanced. GTA 5 Enhanced only works in offline Story Mode with BattlEye disabled. While RX 9060 series cards should work, they are untested, and RX 7000 support is currently an alpha that has not been tested on real hardware. Users should avoid using the mod with games that use anti-cheat.

DLSS 5 is currently an RTX 50-series exclusive, though Nvidia says support for RTX 40 cards will follow once RTX 50 performance is tuned. Rumors suggest a DLSS 5-like feature for RDNA 5, but nothing is confirmed.
