NVIDIA’s latest DLSS 5 update introduced Multi Frame Generation, a feature originally designed for Blackwell GPUs. A new mod now allows RTX 40 series owners to use this technology in Cyberpunk 2077. This matters because it extends the lifespan of current hardware by adding frame generation capabilities that were previously locked to newer chips. Users with Ada Lovelace cards can now access higher frame rates without buying new hardware.
Modder backports Blackwell frame timing instructions to Ada Lovelace architecture
The mod was created by Reddit user dashdogy and targets the Streamline SDK rather than the game engine directly. It intercepts the DLSS DLL in memory to alter how frames are generated. The tool backports Blackwell-specific frame timing instructions to the Ada Lovelace architecture. This technical approach ensures proper frame placement despite the architectural differences between the GPU generations.
Performance results from early testing show significant gains for high-end RTX 40 cards. One user reported 180 FPS on an RTX 4080 using a 6x frame generation multiplier. Another user achieved over 240 FPS on an RTX 4090 with DLSS 5 enabled. These numbers suggest the mod delivers high-quality frame generation with good frame pacing.
The mod currently supports only Cyberpunk 2077, though the underlying technique could apply to other titles. Dashdogy’s GitHub page details how the mod targets the Streamline SDK to ensure compatibility. This confirms that running Blackwell flip metering code on the CPU is possible for Ada Lovelace GPUs. We looked at FSR 3 mods earlier while tracking alternative frame generation solutions.
