Starfield DLSS Mod Tutorial: The Best & Easiest DLSS Mod

Starfield shipped without dlss support so we got to fix that right now AMD said they did not stop Starfield and Bethesda from using dlss they said by all means use everything but for some reason they didn't take the few hours that it would have taken because that's how long it took the modders to make the dlss support first off why would you want to use dlss we've already got FSR and it's a very similar technology it looks pretty good and it runs almost exactly the same as dlss in this game but dlss if you have a Nvidia graphics card it does look better and it will give you a bit of a performance boost it gave me like 15 frames maybe 20 frames per second here and there and I'm running at 3840 by 1600 21x9 so it did give me a bit and it does look really good so let's get it installed please don't go out and buy a retail copy of Windows because it's going to cost you 10 to 12 times as much as this this is where I've been getting my windows keys for the last couple of years right here on hookies.com they're my longtime sponsor as well so thanks for that the difference is this is an OEM key so it's tied to the hardware but you'd have to buy this 10 or 12 times to make it equal the cost of retail the other difference is you'll be doing your own tech support here because you don't get the Microsoft tech support but we're building a system and I don't think any of us have ever used Microsoft's tech support so that's why I like to use who keys.com now they're having a back to school special so these prices are even lower than what you see on the screen for Windows 10 Pro we also have home Windows 11. just to note Windows 10 pro at this time does also unlock Windows 11. so go online and Google and make sure that Windows 11 can still be unlocked with a Windows 10 key we have office 2021 2019 and 2016 here I always recommend grabbing a copy of Windows 10 Pro so you get 20 off of the back to school special but if you use my coupon code ts25 you'll get 25 percent off putting coupon code ds25 click apply and then watch these prices come down wonderful once you're finished all you have to do is click on your user account up here go to your user Center click on my purchase orders just view Keys and codes and you can just copy and paste your key hit start type activate click on activation settings paste it in there click on next and you will be activated you know I never liked how Microsoft has different prices for different people if you're a home user you're going to pay 10 times more than an oem Builder or a corporation or something like that and that's why I like heading to places like cookies.com to get the OEM keys so I can pay a price that makes sense so thanks to them for sponsoring and now to our regularly scheduled program if you head to the Nexus you'll see that there are a few different mods the big one here this is not the one you want to use FSR bridge this is my favorite one I've tried all those things there's three of them right now it works with dlss or xcss so what we're going to do is grab this this does not come with dlss but we've got to grab this first so just do a manual download if you want DLS s if you're using Intel you can get xcss manual download here slow download and I'm just going to open up that zip file I need to drop that into my folder so here's star field if you're using Game Pass or something you'll need to navigate to the folder where it is installed but right here you can just click on the Cog and click on manage and do browse local files and there's our star field I'm just going to drop this in there drop all right good and I'm going to knead this in just a second so I'll put it over here the next thing we need is NVIDIA dlss and I've got links for this in the description Tech PowerUp did a really cool thing where they just have all of them listed here so you can try different versions to see which one works some of the older games and and that other mod seem to work best with 2.5 but this one I've been testing out with Nvidia DLS 3.5 the latest one and it works and it's great so you can download that here if this Tech PowerUp link ever disappears there's also a GitHub link anyway I'll put that link in the description I'm just going to grab this right here click on download click on your nearest server Whatever Whatever It Is Well only one percent all right and that is also going to go into that folder dlss the problem with dlss is that it does make the image blurry so how are we going to sharpen it we're going to use reshade so this is the last thing you need and you'll be ready to go so go ahead and download reshade 9.2 there we go it's a setup file so click on that and it'll be like which game do you want to install to you can install this as many times as you want to as many different games as you want but I am going to type in Starfield now if you're running game pass this may not show up right here because I don't think it launches the same way I don't have game pass but I did some digging over here on Reddit you're going to need to navigate to C Xbox games Star field content and then the exe file is Game launch helper you have Game Pass I'll leave this link here too because I I didn't know how to do it and I wanted to make sure I didn't leave you out so there we go Starfield hit next and we're going to do DirectX 10 11 12. all right select preset to install if you have a preset you want to try you can install that that's one thing I like about this version of the plugin is you can install your own reshade presets but I don't have a preset now I want to install a few things this is all up to you Suite FX will give you the sharpening you need but you know I actually like if you scroll all the way down to the bottom legacyfx Legacy FX comes with adaptive sharpen and that sharpens and doesn't produce some of the edge highlighting that you sometimes see with the newer stuff like with Suite FX you have something called Luma sharpen and I don't like that as well so you know you can install any ones you any ones you like these are all just different you know FX you can apply or whatever I'm just great I'm just grabbing my CRT effects you don't need to do this yeah I want all these I like the old Legacy effects and that's it all right now we can just play your shade is running there we go press the home button and it'll bring this up our add-on settings okay home continue I'm just going to continue There we go all the stuff here these are all the different effects I I installed too many but that's that's fine now I'm just going to do adaptive sharpening because we need it and okay that's been finished this tutorial there we go so the way this works is when you go into your settings and you go into your display down here FSR it uses FSR and dynamic resolution so I'm going to turn my Dynamic resolution down to 66 which is about where I want it to be and then we have we have to make sure that FSR is enabled because what's happening is as things go to the FSR pipeline this plugin sends them over to dlss instead so it's using FSR to forward that over to dlss you got to make sure your resolution scale is on and everything else is fine here so we can go back into the game and have a look now see Vasco see how sharp the Vasco is that stupid icon in the background has our home button right here go to our add-ons and just watch The Edge sharpness right there I'm sorry go to home watch The Edge sharpness so the Adaptive sharpen there we go turn that on and then you can mess with this to your heart's content you can try Luma sharpen if you want to or any of the other sharpening Technologies but I just like the Adaptive sharpen it looks just fine to me and it kind of matches with the film grain but yeah this is quite a bit better turning that on now if you wanted to you can come through here and mess with things oh God look at bloom it gets ridiculous yeah you can play you can play around you've got reshade now so you can come in and mess around you can install reshade presets or whatever you want you can do filmic passes which can look pretty cool but you know to mess with the contrast and stuff I do like magic Bloom and there we go turn that on may as well but then we can mess with it down a little bit bring a threshold a little bit threshold there we go you can make a whole video on how to mess with this but uh for now I think we're good to go all right now I'm going to turn this on and we're going to pretend we're playing a PlayStation game there we go snake everyone's dead I think yeah this feels like the worst blurriest PlayStation game I used to look like this do you remember I'm gonna turn this stupid thing off [Music] if you're worried about this not working and you're like Curious like okay how do I know if it's working or not well there's something we can do just close your game there we go and your Nvidia dlss file which is NV there we go dlss I'm just going to put that in a folder called No there drop it in there now when I play this again it shouldn't work because the plugin is saying you know send the render pipeline over to dlss so this will you know show you that it's working okay now we're in game and we do not see anything this is all we see is just the interface because that's obviously not using dlss and that's because when we turn on FSR over here on our display it's trying to forward that signal over to dlss and it's just not working so by turning up scaling off now it should work again but it's running at 48 fps as opposed to it was running at like 68 or 69 FPS with DLS on there you have it you have dlss 3.5 in your game and it's running a lot better looks a lot better hope you enjoy it let me know what other mods that you're very interested in let me know what you think of the game no spoilers please because I'm going to go back and finish Baldur's Gate 3 before I come back to this but I saw that it didn't have dlss and that bothered me and I played it for a little bit and was like we can just put it in there and then of course the mod showed up right after so yeah I hope you enjoy it hope this made it easier for you and um now you got reshade dlss and you're good to go so yeah we do have a sale going on right now just all kinds of things but our fake stuff is 30 off with coupon code back to school so if you need a new Mouse new controller works well with this these mice work great but this is the mouse I'm using right now well I've got the Black Version but uh it works amazingly well with this 33 10 sensor we have one with the 3360 sensor and yeah it feels a lot like an intelli Mouse so fits my hand really well there it is anyway 30 off use that coupon code I'll see you on the website
