What do you need to do?

Start with the task in front of you.

Install

Get the official files and set up one game.

Check compatibility

Find the conditions for your hardware and game.

Fix a problem

Start with the symptom or error you can see.

Restore

Return to original game files before removing the app.

Choose a route before you install

Start with your graphics card and game. We'll narrow down the documented route and show what still needs checking.

Project requirements

Your GPU

Open Windows Task Manager → Performance → GPU. Use the full model name, not just the amount of memory.

Game has native DLSS?

Check the game's own graphics settings before adding mods. An FSR or XeSS option is not a native DLSS option.

Active renderer

Use the API currently selected in the game's graphics settings or launcher. A GPU supporting DX12 does not mean this game is running DX12.

Prefer the written checklist?

Investigate the native DLSS / RenoDX route: The project documents a native route for eligible DX12 games. This is a starting point; it does not establish a successful neural pass for your game.
Investigate the ReShade / Feeder route: The project lists this route for compatible games without native DLSS. Success still depends on the game's inputs, matched components and runtime.
Check the native-input consumer before installing: Native DLSS with this renderer needs a route-specific check. Eligible OptiScaler paths have additional input, bitness and model requirements; the Blackwell model is not a universal older-card solution.
Check the legacy renderer or emulator route: Legacy APIs need renderer- and bitness-specific bridging. This helper cannot establish those conditions from a generic renderer label.
Check whether the game offers DirectX 11: Swapper v2.2.7's Feeder integration does not directly support DX10. A feature in a separate Feeder release may not be available through this app.
Check support for this GPU before installing: Swapper's ReShade / Feeder requirements list RTX 20, 30, 40 and 50 families. Support for AMD, GTX or Intel in another upscaling component does not establish support for this neural-rendering route.
The download requires Windows 10/11 x64: The v2.2.7 installer and portable application are for Windows. Linux/Proton and other systems do not have a confirmed installation procedure in this guide.
Check the game's rules first: An installation route cannot tell you whether a game permits injected components. Do not use a technical support listing as permission for an account or protected session.

The compact F8 panel is limited to the documented x64 DX11/DX12 Feeder or RenoDX v4.7 setup, with Swapper running. Multipass uses Home.

Your driver is newer than the publisher's last measured baseline. v2.2.7 permits installation with a warning; this is not proof that all newer drivers fail.

Something not working?

Start with what you can see. Follow the checks for that symptom.

The overlay will not open

F8, connection status and route-specific controls.

The game keeps crashing

Work through versions, conflicts and recovery.

Effect files are missing

Check the selected route, paths and components.

What is DLSS 5 Swapper?

DLSS5-Swapper is a community-developed Windows application by Rakan Alkhaldi for installing, configuring and restoring DLSS 5-related components in compatible games and emulators. Its routes include native DLSS, ReShade/Feeder and eligible OptiScaler configurations.

This guide covers rakanki911's DLSS5-Swapper and its community neural-rendering routes. beeradmoore's DLSS Swapper is a separate library-management project. Similar names do not mean the same features or installation steps.
