How to Enable DLSS 4 in Oblivion Remastered and other games with DLSS Override

How to enable DLSS 4 in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered using DLSS Override

Thanks to the Nvidia App and Nvidia’s DLSS Override feature, users of GeForce RTX series graphics cards can upgrade The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered (and other compatible games) with the latest versions of DLSS.

DLSS Override can replace a game’s built-in versions of DLSS with Nvidia’s newer AI models. This can enable enhanced visuals and support for features like DLSS Multi Frame Generation.

In Oblivion Remastered, DLSS Override can upgrade DLSS Super Resolution to Nvidia’s new Transformer-based AI model. This enables higher quality visuals. Furthermore, it can be used to upgrade the game to the latest version of DLSS Frame Generation. This brings to the game Nvidia’s newer/faster DLSS Frame Generation model and enables multi-frame generation support for RTX 50 series GPU users.

How to use DLSS Override on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

To use DLSS Override, Nvidia RTX GPU users need to install the Nvidia App. This App is part of Nvidia’s newest GeForce drivers, and is available as an optional install.

Unlike Nvidia’s GeForce Experience app, the Nvidia App does not require user logins to function. This makes the Nvidia App much easier to use than its predecessor.

The first thing gamers need to do is navigate to “Graphics” and find The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered as an installed program. If it doesn’t appear on your list, click the three-circle icon and then click “Refresh”. This should make the game appear on your list, if it is installed.

Once you find the game, you can then navigate to “DLSS Override – Models Pesets”. Once you click there, a menu will appear.

Within this menu, users can choose to utilise the “Latest” DLSS models within Oblivion Remastered. Once you do that, click “Apply”.

DLSS Override – Visual Impact

Below, we can see the impact of Nvidia’s DLSS Overrides in action. Below is part of an image using both Oblivion’s native DLSS implementation and Nvidia’s newer DLSS 4 Transformer upscaling model.

The images below are parts of 4K screenshots that have a 2x zoom applied. This makes the differences between the two models easier to spot. Note that the transformer model image has fewer stair-stepping artefacts and aliasing. You can see this in the window and the arching piece of wood below the window.

(DLSS CNN Model (Old) VS Transformer Model (New))

While Nvidia’s DLSS Transformer model is a little less performant than Nvidia’s DLSS CNN model, the visual uplift is worth it. Overall, Nvidia’s new AI model makes Oblivion look sharper and less aliased. This is especially true when using DLSS in Performance mode.

Note that while this guide is specific to Oblivion Remastered, it can be used to apply Nvidia’s new DLSS models to other games.
