Baldur’s Gate 3 finally gets Nvidia DLSS 3 support, kinda

pcgamesn.com:

Baldur’s Gate 3 has become a phenomenon since it launched last month, being heralded for its unique cast of characters, in-depth battle system and clever writing. Yet, even as one of the most highly-rated video games of all time, the D&D RPG hasn’t been able to shake off a slew of issues, from CPU slowdown to frame rate drops, which occur the longer you progress into the game. While developer Larian Studios has been consistent with its fixes and updates, the third act is still riddled with issues, but this Baldur’s Gate 3 DLSS 3 mod may be exactly what Baldur’s Gate 3 needs.

Created by PureDark, the mod enables DLSS 3 in Baldur’s Gate 3 for 4000 series graphics cards. In a video uploaded by PureDark themselves, one of the areas most plagued by slow-down – that even the best gaming CPUs have troubles with – is running at a consistent 60 FPS with the mod activated.

The area in question is a city found in Act Three of the game, which sees you, and your merry band of characters, in an area full of NPCs with things to do and places to see. Naturally, when there’s a lot going on in any game, there’s going to be pressure put on your hardware to get it running smoothly, but through DLSS 3’s frame generation compatibilities, higher and more consistent frame rates can be achieved.

In a similar scenario, Starfield – one of the other huge PC game releases for this year – launched exclusively with AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2 (FSR 2) support, which inspired the modding community, and even PureDark themselves, to create the support for DLSS 3 that was officially absent from the game. While the Bethesda RPG was later officially updated with Nvidia DLSS support as part of the 1.7.29 patch, DLSS 3 support is still only available
