Modder ‘PureDark’ has released a new mod for Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora that enables support for DLSS 3 Frame Generation. Additionally, the modder has improved the quality of DLSS 3.5 Super Resolution. As such, the game will be now sharper with this mod.
Now the bad news here is that as with all of PureDark’s DLSS 3 Mods, this one is also behind a Patreon wall. Yeap, in order to enjoy DLSS 3, you’ll have to pay for it. It sucks but hey, it is what it is.
>> There's an over 8 minutes video of the mod.
