Essential improvements

Enhance DLSS(2.x only)

DLSS 2.0 and beyond based games allow you to use newer DLSS 2.x DLL files to improve the quality and performance of DLSS itself. Replace nvgnx_dlss.dll with one from a newer game using DLSS 2.x in <path-to-game>

Note: Any DLSS asides from the one that comes with the game will not allow the use of ReShade, however Nvidia's in-game overlay and control panel filters still appear to function. If you need to get the original DLSS file back, delete the one you currently have in the game folder and verify your game files.
