A faster version of Nvidia's DLSS Frame Generation feature, known as Preset C, is already running on RTX 30 series graphics cards after modders enabled it ahead of any official Nvidia rollout, according to a report from VideoCardz.com.

What is DLSS Frame Generation Preset C?

Preset C is a specific configuration inside Nvidia's DLSS Frame Generation pipeline, the technology that inserts AI-generated frames between rendered frames to raise displayed frame rates. VideoCardz describes Preset C as faster than the presets currently available on affected hardware, though the report does not break out a specific performance figure for the gain. Nvidia has not published a separate statement on Preset C's performance characteristics in the material reviewed for this report.

How are modders bringing Preset C to RTX 30 GPUs?

The VideoCardz report attributes the change to modders, who made Preset C available on RTX 30 hardware without waiting for an official Nvidia driver or DLSS software update. The report does not specify which tool, file swap, or installation method the modders used, nor does it name the individuals or groups involved. Readers looking for the technical how-to should consult the original VideoCardz story linked above, which carries the first-hand account of the mod.

Has Nvidia officially supported Preset C on RTX 30 cards?

The framing of the VideoCardz headline — that Preset C is "already available" thanks to modders — indicates the preset reached RTX 30 GPUs outside of Nvidia's own supported rollout path. The report does not state whether Nvidia plans to extend official support to the RTX 30 generation, and no Nvidia statement on the matter appears in the sourced material.

What should RTX 30 owners know before trying it?

Because the mod is not an Nvidia-sanctioned release, the standard cautions that apply to any unofficial driver or file modification apply here: it falls outside Nvidia's own support and warranty framework for DLSS features, and the VideoCardz report does not detail stability testing, compatibility across specific RTX 30 models, or long-term driver implications. Owners considering it should read the full VideoCardz write-up for the exact steps and any caveats the outlet documented firsthand.

Key figures from the report

  • RTX 30 series — the GPU generation that gained access to Preset C through the mod, per VideoCardz.
  • Preset C — the named DLSS Frame Generation preset described as faster, per the same report.

This article will be updated if Nvidia issues a statement on official support for Preset C on RTX 30 hardware.
