MFGAmpereUnlock

Enables native NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation / Multi Frame Generation on Ada, Ampere, and Turing GPUs through a ReShade/RenoDX addon.

The addon makes changes in game memory; it does not modify or redistribute NVIDIA DLLs. Close the game before updating the addon.

Usage

1. Install ReShade with addon support, or the appropriate RenoDX mod for the game.

2. Download the latest release.

3. Place renodx-mfgunlock.addon64 in the ReShade addon location used by the game, commonly next to the game executable. A game-specific RenoDX package may use its own addon folder. Close the game before replacing the addon.

4. Append the following to ReShade.ini:

   [ADDON]
   LoadFromDllMain=renodx-mfgunlock.addon64

   If omitted, MFG Unlock will append itself automatically on supported ReShade versions; restart the game once afterwards for MFG to be detected.

5. Start with the game's original DLSS-G and Streamline libraries. You do not need to replace them with the latest versions for MFG Unlock to work. Newer versions are recommended for advanced features. You can find the latest DLSS-G DLL on TechPowerUp.

6. MFG Unlock supports Streamline 1.x and 2.x without requiring a specific Streamline/DLSS-G version pair. For newer NVIDIA features, Streamline 2.14.1 with DLSS-G 310.9.1 is an optional update where the game supports it, not a requirement. Do not replace Streamline 1.x with 2.x in older games such as A Plague Tale: Requiem.

7. Use the game's multiplier selector when available. Otherwise use Force frame multiplier in the ReShade MFG Unlock panel.

Dynamic MFG and Validated Warp Blend

• Dynamic MFG lets NVIDIA adjust the multiplier to reach the selected output FPS. It requires a Streamline/DLSS-G version that supports native Dynamic MFG. After enabling it, toggle Frame Generation off and on in the game's menu.
• Validated Warp Blend ports the quality improvement from MFGAdaUnlock to compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1 setups. Enable it and restart the game.
• Warp diagnostic modes are available under advanced/debug options; normal use keeps Validated Warp.

Intermediate Scatter Retention and Boundary Artifact Mitigation

• Intermediate Scatter Retention helps preserve thin geometry and small moving details with compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1 setups.
• Boundary Artifact Mitigation controls how ISR behaves near object edges. Off keeps the 0.10-pre1 ISR behavior; Balanced and Aggressive add progressively stronger boundary handling.
• ISR, Boundary and Warp quality changes require a game restart.

Frame Generation Presets A/B

• Choose Application / driver default, Preset A, or Preset B.
• A/B overrides are process-local and do not change NVIDIA App or driver profiles.
• Preset overrides are available with compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1 versions.
• Preset selection is independent from multiplier, Dynamic MFG, Warp, Temporal Fix and UI Composition. Restart the game if a preset change is not picked up.

UI Recomposition

• Automatic UI Composition is enabled by default on SDR and keeps the native HUD-less path when no usable UI buffer is available.
• Inject detected UI Color+Alpha is enabled by default for D3D12 games that do not provide a Streamline UI tag. If no usable target is available, the native HUD-less path is preserved.
• UI targets are refreshed when dialogs or menus change.
• If UI composition looks wrong, disable UI Color+Alpha injection; Automatic UI Composition can stay enabled.

SDR, HDR and Vulkan

• SDR/HDR: improved output color-space detection and UI resource handling. HDR output and UI behavior depend on the game and its graphics pipeline.
• Vulkan: expanded NGX integration, resource handling and Fixed MFG support. Check the Vulkan section below for games that block third-party layers.

Game compatibility

The following games have been tested with MFGAmpereUnlock on Ampere. Results may vary with game, driver, Streamline and DLSS-G versions.

Game	Ampere	Comment
A Plague Tale: Requiem	Working	Legacy Streamline 1.x; do not replace with Streamline 2.x
Alan Wake 2	Working
Assetto Corsa Rally	Working
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33	Working
Control Resonant	Working
Cyberpunk 2077	Working	Dynamic MFG, Validated Warp Blend and Preset B (tested with Streamline 2.14.1 / DLSS-G 310.9.1)
Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced	Working
Hogwarts Legacy	Working
JDM: Japanese Drift Master	Working
Portal with RTX	Working	RTX Remix
Red Dead Redemption 2	Working	PureDark Frame Generation mod

So far, I haven't encountered a game that doesn't work with MFG Unlock. Try it in other DLSS Frame Generation titles and share what you find!

Requirements

• GeForce RTX 20-, 30-, or 40-series GPU.
• ReShade with addon support.
• A game with NVIDIA DLSS Frame Generation through Streamline or NGX.
• The game's original DLSS-G and Streamline libraries are sufficient to start.
• DLSS-G 310.9.1 is recommended for Presets A/B, Intermediate Scatter Retention, Boundary Artifact Mitigation and Validated Warp Blend.
• Native Dynamic MFG and higher multipliers depend on what the game's Streamline/DLSS-G combination supports.

Vulkan

The addon includes Vulkan NGX adapter and resource support. Some Vulkan games block third-party layers by default. Where applicable, ReShade may require:

+r_allowBlackListedLayers 1

RenoDX DLSS5

MFG Unlock can coexist with RenoDX DLSS5. Keep Streamline and NVIDIA NGX/DLSS runtime files from matching releases together; do not update only one DLL in the set.

Configuration	Result
Streamline 2.12.129 with corresponding 310.7.129 NVIDIA DLLs	Working together and individually
Streamline 2.14.0 with 310.9 NVIDIA DLLs	Severe menu slowdown reported in STALKER 2 and Cyberpunk 2077 when both addons were loaded

If the combined setup performs badly, test each addon separately before changing MFG settings.

Settings

Settings use [RenoDX.MFGUnlock] in ReShade.ini.

Most multiplier, Dynamic MFG and UI controls can update while the game is running. If a safe update point is unavailable, toggle Frame Generation off and on in the in-game menu. Preset A/B is shown as applied only after the provider reports it. Temporal Fix, ISR, Boundary and Warp changes require a game restart.

Key	Default	Meaning
Enabled	1	Enables the addon
Architecture	Auto	Auto, Ada, Ampere, or Turing
MaxCount	4	Reported DLSSG.MultiFrameCountMax
ForceMultiplier	0	0 uses the game's choice; 2–6 requests that multiplier, subject to game/provider limits
DynamicMFG	0	Enables native Dynamic MFG on Ada/Ampere/Turing when the runtime reports support; takes priority over ForceMultiplier
DynamicTargetFPS	0	Dynamic output target; 0 follows display refresh
IntermediateScatterRetention	0	Helps preserve fine moving details with compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1; restart required
BoundaryArtifactMitigationMode	0	0 Off, 1 Balanced, 2 Aggressive; restart required
ValidatedWarpBlend	0	Warp Blend quality improvement for compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1; restart required
ShowDebugOptions	0	Shows diagnostic and advanced compatibility controls
WarpDiagnosticMode	2	0 relocation control, 1 baseline rebuild, 2 normal Warp; advanced/debug only changes visibility
FrameGenerationPreset	0	0 application/driver default, 1 A, 2 B; supported 310.9.1 build only
UIComposition	1	Automatic UI recomposition on SDR
UICandidateInjection	1	D3D12 UI Color+Alpha injection when needed
TemporalFix	1	Corrects generated-frame temporal positions
ForceFlipMeteringOff	0	Legacy software pacing fallback
RuntimeSelectionMode	0	0 keeps the game policy, 1 prefers local Streamline plugins, 2 forces NVIDIA OTA flags

When updating from 0.10-pre1, an existing IntermediateScatterRetention=1 configuration without a boundary setting keeps the previous ISR behavior until Balanced or Aggressive is selected.

Troubleshooting

The addon does not appear in ReShade

• Confirm ReShade was installed with full addon support.
• Confirm renodx-mfgunlock.addon64 is in the addon location used by the game.
• Check the ReShade log for addon loading errors.

Only Automatic or 2x appears

• Toggle Frame Generation off and on after reaching the graphics menu.
• Confirm the expected nvngx_dlssg.dll version is loaded.
• Check the MFG Unlock panel for DLSS-G and Frame Generation status.

Dynamic MFG is unavailable or Warp Blend is not applied

• Check whether the loaded Streamline/DLSS-G combination supports native Dynamic MFG. DLSS-G 310.9.1 is recommended for Warp Blend.
• After enabling Dynamic MFG, toggle Frame Generation off/on in the game.
• Warp Blend requires a restart. Keep the original Streamline files in legacy Streamline 1.x games.

UI Recomposition problems

• Dialog/menu changes should be reacquired automatically after a short handover.
• If UIR does not return or UI artifacts appear, disable Inject detected UI Color+Alpha. Automatic UI Composition can remain enabled.

3x/4x freezes or pacing becomes unusable

• Leave ForceFlipMeteringOff=0 with current Streamline builds.
• If higher multipliers specifically freeze, set ForceFlipMeteringOff=1 and restart.

Performance collapses with RenoDX DLSS5

• Test each addon separately.
• Use a matched Streamline/NVIDIA runtime set.
• Restart after addon or runtime changes.

How it works

MFGAmpereUnlock keeps NVIDIA's native DLSS Frame Generation and adapts it to the selected GPU architecture rather than replacing it with another frame generator:

1. Auto detects Ada, Ampere or Turing; the architecture can also be selected manually if needed.
2. On Ada, NVIDIA's DLSS-G provider already contains compatible sm_89 code. The addon adjusts Frame Generation availability and MFG settings.
3. On Ampere and Turing, compatible provider PTX is adapted from sm_89 to sm_86 or sm_75 so the NVIDIA driver can JIT-compile it.
4. The addon examines the loaded provider and its embedded CUDA code before applying changes, rather than requiring a specific hardcoded DLL version.
5. Streamline/NGX capability checks are adapted for the selected GPU so the game's native Frame Generation path can become available.
6. At higher multipliers, Temporal Fix preserves the intended temporal position of each generated frame.
7. With compatible Streamline/DLSS-G versions, Dynamic MFG uses NVIDIA's native mode and frame pacing.
8. Validated Warp Blend improves later-stage reprojection for compatible DLSS-G 310.9.1 setups.
9. UI Recomposition uses the game's native HUD-less/UI resources where available, with optional D3D12 Color+Alpha injection and fallback.

Building from source

MFGAmpereUnlock is built through RenoDX. You need Visual Studio 2022 with the Desktop development with C++ workload, CMake, and Git.

From the MFGAmpereUnlock repository root, run:

.\tools\build_mfgunlock.ps1

On the first run, the helper automatically downloads the pinned RenoDX and NVAPI source dependencies into external\RenoDX, initializes RenoDX submodules, and sets up the repo-local shader compiler tools required by the build. System-wide prerequisites such as Visual Studio and the Windows SDK are not installed automatically.

The compiled addon is written under:

dist\mfgunlock\reshade-api18\renodx-mfgunlock.addon64

To build for any ReShade API version available in upstream ReShade history, pass the API number directly. Older API versions can be useful for compatibility with legacy ReShade releases required by some closed-source mods, such as PureDark mods:

.\tools\build_mfgunlock.ps1 -ReShadeApi 15
.\tools\build_mfgunlock.ps1 -ReShadeApi 14,15,17,18,20

The helper resolves the matching ReShade source revision automatically, detects the callback ABI from those headers and keeps every per-API ReShade checkout inside the repository at external\reshade-api\api<version>. API-specific builds are written to dist\mfgunlock\reshade-api<version>\. At the end of a build the helper prints the complete absolute path and SHA256 for every generated addon. If the requested API never existed upstream, the build stops with a clear error.

To re-check and refresh the managed build dependencies, use -RefreshDependencies.
