NVIDIA DLSS DLL version - future feature in GPU-Z

[regorwin56]

Yeah i dont think this is a great idea either, it'll cause disk activity on potentially really slow or busy drives and could set people off from a security perspective

I think this function of finding DLSS is very useful for some people, but I really think that when switching to this window, it is necessary to ask the user first and mention these problems (high hard disk usage and long search time)

In fact, this function has also been made. Some users should also need this function. It would be a pity if it was completely abandoned, so I think it is best to tell the user about this high-occupancy and time-consuming thing before starting the scan. Ask the user if they need it need to scan

Maybe its a good idea to have a database with games that are supporting DLSS and check first if user has any of those games installed and if it does to check the DLSS version from the installed directory of the game (or scan only that game directory for the file), scanning all computer and high disk usage its kinda not practical or as i posted before it could been nice to have an option to select the directory where you want to scan (like your game directory , steam library etc.)
Edit: It can be a problem maybe with cracked games that are not in the registered as installed app but you can have that DLSS database + selected drive / folder scan ... just an idea

You mentioned letting the user choose to scan only part of the range, I think it is very good, I think this can provide options for the user to choose

It allows users to choose whether they need to scan all hard disks or only need to scan a specified range. I think it is good

The DLL is part of the games, so you can have multiple versions installed.

Scanning through the game libraries isn't trivial, because you can basically store the games anywhere you want, so GPU-Z would have to scan all directories on all drives for the DLL.

I like your idea though, maybe scanning everything would be acceptable from a user perspective?

"Scanning" doesn't mean read the file contents, just look for the filename, like F3 search does in Explorer

What do you think of it

Good suggestions I think I can add the following improvements:

- Add a button/link that needs to be clicked before the scan is started
- Add a list of drives in the system that can be checked on or off
- As mentioned in PM, enable the feature on all cards, not only on NVIDIA (it doesn't "use" DLSS, it only scans for games with DLSS support)

Does the improved DLSS scan still just query the "nvngx_dlss.dll" file?

Does the improved GPUZ scan still provide the option to perform the same mode as the current GPUZ 2.48 that scans all hard drives

Provides the same option as GPU Z 2.48 to perform a full search of computer hard drives

 

[W1zzard]

Yes of course

 

[regorwin56]

Yes of course

Understand Hope to see these improvements take effect in the next version

Is it not possible to check the registry for the installed games and their install path and just scan for DLSS on the specific path?

Not really, there is no universal standard and it won't catch games that you just copy around without installation. Maybe finding the Steam library folder could be an option and scan this first, to have some results faster

Didn't have time to add them for today's release, but I had to push out the Zen 4 support, so reviewers can do their job.

 

[regorwin56]

I think if GPU Z scans DLSS halfway and the user cancels it, it can also prompt that you have canceled the scan

There is also an option to rescan if the user accidentally cancels the scan

I also thought of a way to allow GPUZ to temporarily stop DLSS scanning and provide options that allow the user to continue the unfinished scan or abandon the unfinished scan.

Want to know what other people think

Interesting - Chernobylite just updated through Steam - and it has replaced the nvvgx_dlss.dll file with an older version.
My guess was, that it would keep/not replace it, if it where newer version, but apparently thats not the case......

 

[VulkanBros]

Is "nvngx_dlssg.dll" also covered by GPU-Z ?

Have a small question: how to get rid of this small info at the left bottom position? it appears in any game that use this dll

Spoiler

[Mussels]

If it's a debug DLL from something, it's going to cause that i guess

You checked the option for DLSS indicator when you installed your current driver version in NVCleanstall.

It's not checked by default.

Is there any way to "uncheck" it without reinstalling driver?

I DL-ed this dll from the techpowerup DLSS download section

try

Disabling DLSS indicator?

I installed the drivers with the DLSS indicator tweak enabled, but I am unable to toggle it off. Tried reinstalling without checking it but that didn't work, anyway to turn it off?

It works! Much thx to you)
