## In short

The NVIDIA App or OBS records the neural pass because it is part of the frame. Generated frames may not reach every capture path, so check the file's real FPS.

## Steps

1. Record with the NVIDIA App or OBS at a high bitrate.

2. Frame Generation on? Check the file's real FPS; some capture paths keep only rendered frames.

3. Close the F8 overlay first so it does not end up in the video.

4. Compare against a Restore originals clip only at the same settings.

## Facts that do not change

Free and MIT. RTX 20/30/40/50 on Feeder. F8 overlay on 64-bit DX11/DX12 Feeder and RenoDX. Restore originals before online play.

## FAQ

### What is DLSS 5 Swapper?

A free MIT-licensed Windows app that installs, tunes and restores NVIDIA DLSS 5 Neural Rendering across native DLSS games, non-DLSS games via DLSS5-Feeder, and supported emulators.

### Which GPUs work?

RTX 20, 30, 40 and 50 Series for the ReShade/Feeder routes. The bundled OptiScaler neural model is Blackwell-only; older cards need a supplied modded nvngx_dlssnr.dll.

### Do games need native DLSS?

No. Native titles upgrade in place; games without DLSS use the DLSS5-Feeder 1.17.0 + ReShade 6.8.0 route on DX9/11/12, Vulkan and OpenGL.

### How do I undo everything?

Select the game and click Restore originals. Uninstalling the app alone does not touch game folders.

### Is it safe for online games?

No. Treat it as a single-player tool. Injected DLLs can trigger VAC, Easy Anti-Cheat or BattlEye. Restore originals before online play.
