DLSS 5 mod downloads and tools

Use the original publisher for each component. A file being downloadable in Discord does not automatically grant another website permission to mirror it.

Manager

DLSS 5 Swapper

Scans game libraries, selects ReShade, Feeder, or eligible OptiScaler routes, records backups, and restores originals. Current guide: v2.2.0.

Download and setup guide →
Framework

Do not mix the files

Two similarly named community branches

The RenoDX Discord currently contains at least two DLSS add-on lines. Their names and authorship matter.

FileCommunity attributionCompatibility rule
renodx-dlss.addon64ShortFuse DLSS Tool threadCurrent author instructions place it beside ReShade.ini
renodx-dlss5.addon64Separate Krish/Lecram-related builds; pinned V4.7 says “Not ShortFuse’s mod”Remove or rename before loading the ShortFuse add-on
Conservative mirror policy

Can DLSS5Mod host the files?

Permission is evaluated per file. One open-source component does not grant rights to redistribute the entire stack.

ComponentLicense/permission foundSite decision
ReShade source and binariesBSD 3-Clause permits redistribution with noticesLink to the official download to preserve updates and trust
RenoDX repository codeMITMay redistribute compliant builds, but link upstream unless the exact build is reproducible
RHIGPL-3.0; its project downloads third-party files from original sourcesLink to GitHub Releases
Discord-only .addon64 buildsNo explicit redistribution license found for the individual attachmentsDo not mirror without written permission
Nexus Mods file 2228The author’s upload permission says it may not be uploaded to other sitesDo not mirror
Patched nvngx_dlssnr.dllModified NVIDIA proprietary runtimeDo not host
Bundled DLSS/Streamline archiveNVIDIA SDK distribution is limited and does not allow a stand-alone SDK mirrorDo not host
Why this is strict: NVIDIA’s RTX SDK license permits distribution only under stated application and licensing conditions and says the SDK may not be distributed as a stand-alone product. A community patch also creates an additional authorisation problem.

License references: ReShade BSD-3-Clause, RenoDX MIT, RHI GPL-3.0, and NVIDIA RTX SDK license.

Download policy: DLSS5Mod provides versioned instructions and original-source links. It does not mirror NVIDIA runtimes, modified runtime DLLs, closed or unlicensed Discord attachments, or third-party all-in-one archives.

License does not flow through the stack

An open-source installer or framework cannot relicense a proprietary NVIDIA runtime or a separately uploaded add-on downloaded beside it. Review every component independently.
