Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Runs Nearly Twice as Fast with DLSS 3 Mod on PC

wccftech.com:

Following a breakthrough, modder PureDark has released his DLSS 3 mod on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor. He previously showcased the big frame rate improvements in a brief video but didn't release it right away due to some image quality issues.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor famously launched with big performance issues on PC (and, to a lesser extent, on consoles). On day one, even the mighty RTX 4090 struggled to deliver acceptable frame rates not just at 4K but at 1440p, too.

Shortly after launch, developer Respawn Entertainment apologized to fans and scrambled to release a few patches that slightly improved the situation, but optimization remained far from optimal.

However, owners of GeForce RTX 40 Series GPUs can now get PureDark's DLSS 3 mod for a massive performance boost. I've tested the mod in the game's first level (set in Coruscant, the galaxy's capital) and found nearly twice as fast average frames per second, according to CapFrameX.

The above performance capture actually happened in a very intensive section of the level. Later, I captured a longer gameplay stretch in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor that reported an even higher average FPS with DLSS Frame Generation. As you can see below, even the 0.2% FPS is higher with the DLSS 3 mod than the average FPS recorded without it.

Perceptually, while there is still some traversal stuttering every now and then, the game feels a lot smoother with Frame Generation enabled. There are also no visible artifacts in this version.

There are a few caveats. Unlike PureDark's other DLSS 3 mods for Elden Ring and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, this one currently needs to be installed on top of the game's rather shoddy implementation of AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) 2. PureDark is working on
