Astonishing mod runs DLSS 5 on a second GPU to boost neural-rendered FPS up to 127% — game renders on one card, neural post-processing runs on the other, much like dedicated PhysX GPUs
Marcelo Guibout's MGPU Bridge lets a second Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti handle DLSS 5 neural post-processing while the primary GPU renders, roughly tripling the frame-rate gain from DLSS modes and running the render GPU 21°C cooler. It requires a second display, doubles latency, and is available on GitHub.
