In short
Washed-out color is usually an HDR mismatch, not DLSS: Windows HDR on with an SDR game, or Auto HDR and RTX HDR stacked. Pick one HDR path.
Steps
- 1 Game has native HDR: use it; Auto HDR only applies to SDR games.
- 2 SDR game: use Auto HDR or RTX HDR, not both.
- 3 Run the Windows HDR Calibration app once.
- 4 Still grey? Swapper does not change the game's tonemapper; compare with Restore originals.
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.
