Bring AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 technology to "Red Dead Redemption 2" to replace DLSS implementation

FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0

🔥 **Now supports Vulkan graphics API** 🔥

---

✨ Module introduction

Based on PotatoOfDoom's "Cyberpunk 2077" FSR 2.0 module, this module introduces AMD's FidelityFX Super Resolution 2.0 technology into "Red Dead Redemption 2", replacing the original DLSS implementation. If you’re having trouble running the game smoothly at native resolution on a non-RTX graphics card, this mod will bring you DLSS-like performance improvements and better visual fidelity!

🔧 Technical background

The implementation of this module is based on PotatoOfDoom's "Cyberpunk 2077" FSR 2.0 module (GitHub). Bug fixes related to FSR 2.0 are mainly handled by the original author and the open source community. I mainly made a loader for it and implemented the correct ViewMatrix offset!

📦 The project source code can be viewed on GitHub

💡 **Tip**: Rockstar has added an official FSR implementation to the game, so this mod is no longer maintained

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
