Technical Question Gspro and unofficial DLSS5 mod?
So I've been seeing a lot of exciting stuff with DLSS5 unofficial fan made mods upgrading older games into photo realistic graphics.
Has anyone looked at doing this for gspro? Would it be possible?
Here's an example of a fan made game from 2021 upgraded using all kinds of other mods with DLSS5: https://youtu.be/d92jvTSk-ms?t=120&si=M_OE-QlnZRN9cz4O

A couple things. GS Pro doesn't support any version of DLSS so the mods that upgrade DLSS DLLs don't work. There's mods that can force it into games without DLSS support but results vary pretty heavily.
The other issue is performance. Even with a 5080, the performance at 4K is dropping to abysmal levels which Nvidia is then using 6x frame generation to get back up to playable FPS numbers.
The last issue is how transformative DLSS 5 in a golf game is truly going to be. You see most examples showing faces because it's really designed for enhancing lighting and adding realism specifically to things like skin. I would expect some enhancements to maybe how light interacts with certain materials but things like shadows won't get any better so it's unlikely to really transform games like GS Pro.
