## How Swapper handles Elden Ring

No native DLSS, so the ReShade + DLSS5-Feeder route is the documented path. Single-player only.

Elden Ring is a action RPG title from Steam. Swapper scans for the installed copy, backs up stock DLLs, installs the chosen route, and lets you tune the neural pass from the F8 overlay.

Route index for this game: [every Elden Ring route](/routes/game/elden-ring-dlss5).

## Install, tune, restore

Install the route, launch borderless, open F8 to set Style, Intensity, Structure and Skin, then keep the backup. Restore originals returns the folder byte-for-byte.

Online and anti-cheat modes stay stock. Compatibility is per build, not per franchise.

## FAQ

### Does Elden Ring need native DLSS for Swapper?

No. Native builds upgrade in place; otherwise the DLSS5-Feeder route supplies depth and motion vectors. No native DLSS, so the ReShade + DLSS5-Feeder route is the documented path. Single-player only.

### Is Elden Ring safe to mod?

Single-player only. If Elden Ring has online or anti-cheat modes, restore originals before launching them.

### 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.
