FeedKit

One-click installer for DLSS5-Feeder.

FeedKit brings DLSS 5 neural rendering (DLAA) to games that ship without any DLSS - D3D9, D3D11, D3D12, Vulkan and OpenGL - without the usual manual file shuffle. Pick a game executable, click Install, and FeedKit downloads the current files from their official sources and puts everything where it belongs. Click Uninstall and it's all gone, with any replaced files restored from backup.

Native Windows app (Win32 C++ + Dear ImGui). No runtime dependencies - just download FeedKit.exe and run it.

Requirements

• Windows 10 / 11 (x64)
• An NVIDIA RTX GPU supported by DLSS 5 neural rendering
• A game rendering through Direct3D 9, 11, 12, Vulkan or OpenGL - 64-bit or 32-bit
• Internet access (FeedKit downloads everything at install time)

Rendering APIs

API	Support
D3D11 / D3D12	Fully automated. ReShade installs as dxgi.dll, which covers the whole DXGI family; bitness (32/64-bit) is auto-detected.
OpenGL	Fully automated. ReShade installs as opengl32.dll. The game must run on the NVIDIA GPU (OpenGL interop requires it) - on hybrid graphics force it via Windows Settings > Display > Graphics.
Vulkan	Supported by DLSS5-Feeder itself - tick the Vulkan layer option in FeedKit. If a game misses the required Vulkan interop extensions, launch it through the run-with-feed-layer.bat fallback that the layer installs (upstream guidance).
D3D9	Fully automated via the D3D9 game option - FeedKit installs dgVoodoo2 (D3D9 -> D3D11 translation), configures it for DLSS5-Feeder, and on first launch you should see the dgVoodoo watermark confirming the translation is active.

Quick start

1. Download FeedKit.exe from Releases (or build it yourself, see below).
2. Run it and pick your game's .exe - browse for it or just drag it onto the window.
3. Click Install and wait. First install downloads roughly 230 MB (the DLSS neural-rendering DLL alone is ~160 MB), so it can take a few minutes.
4. Launch the game and enable the effects in the ReShade overlay (see After installing).

How it works

Nothing is bundled with FeedKit. Every install fetches the current versions from upstream, so you always get the latest Feeder build, the latest RenoDX DLSS5 add-on, and the DLSS DLL versions published by RHI:

Component	Source	Files
ReShade (add-on support)	reshade.me	dxgi.dll (D3D11/12) or opengl32.dll (OpenGL), installed unattended by ReShade's own setup
DLSS5-Feeder	latest GitHub release of DLSS5-Feeder	dlss5-feed.addon64 / dlss5-feed.addon32, DLSS5_Feed.fx
RenoDX DLSS5 add-on	newest release in RankFTW/rhi-repo	renodx-dlss5.addon64
DLSS DLLs	DLSS versions published via RHI's dlss_manifest.json	nvngx_dlssnr.dll (ShortFuse build), nvngx_dlss.dll
LumeniteFX (recommended, on by default)	repo of umar-afzaal/LumeniteFX	lumenite_*.fx, include\*.fxh, bluenoise texture; also sets DLSS5_MV_PROVIDER=3 in ReShade.ini
dgVoodoo2 (D3D9 option)	latest release of dege-diosg/dgVoodoo2	d3d9.dll, dgVoodoo.conf (pre-configured), dgVoodooCpl.exe

What gets installed where

64-bit game - files land next to the game .exe:

GameFolder\
├─ dxgi.dll                  (ReShade, add-on support)
├─ ReShade.ini               (DLSS5_MV_PROVIDER=3 preset when LumeniteFX is installed)
├─ dlss5-feed.addon64
├─ renodx-dlss5.addon64
├─ nvngx_dlssnr.dll
├─ nvngx_dlss.dll
└─ reshade-shaders\
   ├─ Shaders\
   │  ├─ DLSS5_Feed.fx
   │  ├─ ReShade.fxh, ReShadeUI.fxh, DrawText.fxh   (standard headers)
   │  ├─ lumenite_*.fx               (LumeniteFX)
   │  └─ include\lumenite_*.fxh      (LumeniteFX)
   └─ Textures\
      └─ lumenite_bluenoise256.png   (LumeniteFX)

32-bit game - the Feeder add-on runs in-process, and the 64-bit stack (RenoDX add-on + NGX DLLs) runs inside the bundled host64 helper:

GameFolder\
├─ dxgi.dll                  (ReShade 32-bit, add-on support)
├─ ReShade.ini
├─ dlss5-feed.addon32
├─ reshade-shaders\          (DLSS5_Feed.fx + LumeniteFX files, as above)
└─ host64\
   ├─ dlss5-feed-host64.exe
   ├─ dxgi.dll               (ReShade 64-bit, add-on support)
   ├─ ReShade.ini
   ├─ renodx-dlss5.addon64
   ├─ nvngx_dlssnr.dll
   └─ nvngx_dlss.dll

Optional: the Vulkan layer checkbox adds DLSS5-Feeder's Vulkan support (VkLayer_feed_vk.dll and its launcher script) for Vulkan games. If a file already exists (for example an nvngx_dlss.dll the game shipped with), FeedKit backs it up as <name>.feedkit.bak instead of overwriting it.

Everything FeedKit touches is recorded in feedkit.install.json in the game folder.

After installing

The last steps happen in-game (FeedKit can't click ReShade's overlay for you):

1. Motion vectors: with the recommended LumeniteFX checkbox left on, the provider shaders are installed and DLSS5_MV_PROVIDER=3 (LumeniteFX Kernel) is set in ReShade.ini for you - nothing to do. If you unchecked it, install a motion-vector provider yourself (LumeniteFX Kernel, or iMMERSE Launchpad / VORT / anything writing texMotionVectors) and set DLSS5_MV_PROVIDER accordingly in the preprocessor definitions of DLSS5_Feed.fx.
2. Enable in the ReShade overlay (Home key): enable the LUMEN technique, then DLSS 5 Feed, then the neural rendering technique. Keep MSAA/SSAA off.
3. Verify via dlss5-feed.log in the game folder. On D3D9 games, the dgVoodoo watermark in a corner of the image confirms the translation layer is active.

Uninstalling

Point FeedKit at the same game .exe and click Uninstall. It removes exactly what it installed (per feedkit.install.json) and restores any backups. If FeedKit installed ReShade itself, that goes too; ReShade you had already, and your shader folders, stay.

Troubleshooting

• dlss5-feed.log in the game folder is the DLSS5-Feeder log - the upstream README explains its failure modes (missing motion vectors, silent hook misses, dgVoodoo VRAM errors for D3D9 games).
• ReShade.log covers ReShade/add-on loading.
• "The game executable is locked" - the game is still running. Close it first.
• Install into C:\Program Files\... fails - run FeedKit as administrator so it can write into the game folder.
• D3D9 games: if you don't see the dgVoodoo watermark in-game, the translation isn't active - the dgVoodooVRAM default (256 MB) can cause "ran out of video memory" errors on some engines; FeedKit sets it to 1 GB automatically.
• FeedKit is single-player only territory: ReShade add-on support can trip anti-cheat in online games. Don't use it there.

Building from source

1. Open FeedKit.sln in Visual Studio 2022 (Desktop C++ workload).
2. Build - that's it. No NuGet, no vcpkg, no external dependencies (Dear ImGui and miniz are vendored under external/, CRT is statically linked).

Or from the command line:

msbuild FeedKit.sln /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64

Output: build\Release\FeedKit.exe.
