Elden Ring Mod adds support for AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation
https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/elden-ring-mod-adds-support-for-amd-fsr-3-0-frame-generation/
Elden Ring fans, get ready for a treat. Although FromSoftware hasn’t added support for AMD FSR 3.0 or NVIDIA DLSS 3, a modder decided to add to the game support for all upscalers.
This means that you can now enable DLSS Super Resolution, DLAA or Intel XeSS. And, as the title suggests, there is also support for AMD FSR 3.0 with Frame Generation.
Sadly, the mod does not add support for NVIDIA DLSS 3 Frame Generation. However, from our tests, AMD FSR 3.0 FG is almost as good as NVIDIA DLSS FG. It’s also faster than NVIDIA’s answer. At least in most titles. Thus, I highly recommend using it as it supports GPUs from all vendors.
What’s also cool here is that you can use NVIDIA DLAA with AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation. This is how I prefer playing games at 4K. And, if DLAA is too taxing on your system, you can use NVIDIA DLSS with AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation. As such, you’ll get the benefits of AMD FSR 3.0 FG with the superior image of NVIDIA DLSS. That’s awesome.

Bloodborne running on PC at 4K with 100fps via shadPS4 V0.4.1
https://www.dsogaming.com/videotrailer-news/bloodborne-running-on-pc-at-4k-with-100fps-via-shadps4-v0-4-1/
YouTube’s ‘GAMESMARK’ has shared a video, showcasing Bloodborne running on PC via the latest version of shadPS4. Version 0.4.1 seems to have fixed the audio issues that the game had. And, as you will see, the game looks almost as good as the PS4 version.
To capture this gameplay footage, GAMESMARK used an AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and an NVIDIA RTX 4070. At 4K, this GPU seems to be able to run the game with framerates between 70FPS and 110FPS. Most of the time, the framerate is around 80-90FPS. However, there are scenes in which the RTX 4070 can push over 100FPS.
