Now here is something that passed under our radar. Earlier this month, modder “PureDark” released a new mod for Fallout 4 that added support for NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 2.0 and Intel XeSS.
According to the modder, this DLSS/FSR2/XeSS Mod doesn’t currently work with ENB. However, you can still use DLAA with ENB since there’s no upscaling. The modder has implemented upscaling via the dynamic resolution scaling feature which is incomplete and hidden in the game, thus there might be issues related to DRS. Furthermore, the mod is not compatible with FO4VR.
Now as we all know, Fallout 4 can easily become CPU-bound, especially in cities. As such, you may not see a huge performance uplift in such CPU-heavy scenarios. After all, this isn’t DLSS 3. Nevertheless, the modder claims that both DLSS 2 and FSR 2.0 can provide better AA than the game’s default TAA.
You can download the mod from here. Below you can also find two videos that showcase it in action.
Finally, and speaking of Fallout 4, we suggest taking a look at these other mods for it. There is a settlement/building mod that adds 200 new items and a mod that aims to overhaul the AI of the NPCs. Moreover, this mod adds 14 different weapons. Then we have the Urban Life Mod; a mod that adds 11 equipables, 350+ workshop items, new custom Radio Station. And lastly, you can download these Next-Gen Parallax Textures, as well as this HD Texture Pack that overhauls almost all of its creatures.
Enjoy and kudos to our reader Selim for bringing this to my attention!

I never played any RPG game with a female character. Now I feel like to play Fallout 4 with mods as female character.
I could see this being helpful with Fallout 4 VR (if the mod was actually compatible with it), however we do technically already have the VR Performance Toolkit which adds FSR 1 and NIS support along with Foveated Rendering.
FSR1/NIS are absolute garbage, not even worth mentioning.
FSR 1 is OK. It doesn’t have the ghosting that DLSS and FSR 2 tend to have, and it is sharper in some games (No Man’s Sky for instance). It doesn’t handle aliasing well, and it’s quality isn’t fantastic, but it also has better performance than FSR 2 and DLSS 2 which is more noticeable in VR where frametime is very important.
It’s also important to note that it isn’t currently possible to implement DLSS or FSR 2 in an injected tool like VR Performance Toolkit (it wouldn’t have access to motion vectors and other things that such upscaling technologies require to function properly).
this mod is incredibile ! 4k 120fps at ultra settings , no more choppy and stuttering gameplay because this mod reduce cpu and gpu usage.
it bypass TAA antialiasing limitation that blurry textures.
The game also runs a lot better if you install the mod that replaces the game’s memory allocator with the Intel TBB memory allocator (the mod is called “Buffout 4”), and I can play native 1440p at 150+ FPS in most locations with that mod and extra effects injected with ReShade on an RTX 3070 Ti.
Downsampling just isn’t necessary with this game, what it needs is more memory bandwidth, or a better memory allocator. For flatscreen players you already have the option to replace the memory allocator thanks to the mod I mentioned, however in VR that option doesn’t yet exist.
