DLSS 5 Swapper v2.2.9 is a free MIT Windows desktop app by Rakan Alkhaldi (community project). The public landing still shows Download, features and checksums only. This hub exists so search engines and AI crawlers can open a clean HTML/Markdown URL for the topic.
Native DLSS games upgrade in place. Non-DLSS DX9/11/12, Vulkan and OpenGL titles use the DLSS5-Feeder route. The F8 overlay tunes the neural pass live. Restore originals puts every file back.
How to use Swapper after you read this
Download the Windows installer or portable build, scan your library, pick a route per game, and keep or restore the backup if a title needs stock DLLs. Skip online and anti-cheat titles entirely.

Host-only queries
- First-launch checklist Driver, VC++, hashed download, one owned game, borderless test.
- Windows 10 requirements for Swapper 64-bit Windows 10, RTX 20-50 for Feeder, current driver, VC++ runtimes.
- SHA-256 on official builds Both Setup and Portable have published digests. A mismatch means delete the file.
- Steam first scan The first scan prefers Steam libraries. Add other stores as roots afterwards.
- Skip random mirrors If a mirror is used at all, the digest still has to match this host's SHA256SUMS.txt.
- After a Windows reinstall Drivers and VC++ vanish with the OS. Re-hash Swapper; do not reuse old swapped folders.
- Per-game version pin One title can stay on 310.9.1 while another stays stock. History is the record.
- DLSS 5 Swapper v2.2.9: what's in this build v2.2.9 pins DLSS 310.9.1 (SR, RR Preset F, FG), DLSS5-Feeder 1.17.0, RenoDX 6.5.3, OptiScaler 0.8.92, ReShade 6.8.0 and dgVoodoo2 2.87.5, and lets DX11 and wrapped games pick dxgi.dll or d3d11.dll.
- Does DLSS 5 Swapper change Windows system files? No. Swapper writes to the game folders you install routes into, plus its own history and backups. It does not patch Windows system files or replace the NVIDIA driver.
- DLSS 5 Swapper on Linux and Mac No. Swapper ships only for 64-bit Windows 10 and 11; there is no Linux or macOS build. Macs also have no NVIDIA RTX GPU, so DLSS does not apply there.
- Does DLSS 5 Swapper need to stay open? DLL swaps are plain files in the game folder and keep working with Swapper closed. The F8 overlay needs Swapper running, so keep it open for Feeder and RenoDX routes you tune live.
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.
