NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 Delivers Major Upgrade With 2nd Gen Transformer Model For...

Nvidia released DLSS 4.5 (Transformer Model For Super Resolution, including Presets L and M) in the first quarter of 2026, and it is now available.

I attempted to replace the DLL files with the latest version 310.5, but the DLSS option in the game completely disappeared, like a shy little child.

I then tried using the Nvidia Application to replace the in-game DLSS with the latest Model Preset M. However, the model still shows the older Preset K.

Here, I would like to ask the developers respectfully: do you plan to add support for DLSS 4.5 and its new models in the next patch?

I’ve queried this with the development team, and I’ll update you once I’ve received a response.

Thank you for your patience.

Correct me if I am wrong, but ppl just replaced the dlls back then because there was no way to change preset with nvidia app or at least it wasn’t working correctly. I have the most recent Nvidia Driver Update and I just changed the dlss settings in the nvidia app to preset K.
Go here:

And change this (to preset K if you are on DLSS Quality, L/M for performance modes, but I would just try what works best for you):

Now I have these version infos ingame:

I also tried preset M Performance which looks really bad imo.

So at least according to this, there is no need to replace the dlls.

Edit: Welp I am an idiot cuz I thought this is the darktide forum… Sorry boys, maybe this still helps you/works for vt2
