Could you build this?
No Porting NVIDIA's proprietary DLSS neural network models to execute on AMD hardware within Direct3D 12 requires advanced graphics engineering and binary reverse engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this requires reverse-engineering NVIDIA's proprietary NGX/DLSS DLL runtime and neural network weights (Model E), translating the tensor operations into cross-vendor DirectML or custom HLSL compute shaders, and wrapping the interface as a drop-in FSR 3.1 replacement DLL. This necessitates world-class graphics programmers with deep expertise in D3D12 pipeline states, GPU compute optimization, and neural super-sampling architectures.
