Disabling DLSS Frame Generation

Introduction

This guide shows two ways to turn off DLSS Frame Generation, which can sometimes make games crash. The first way turns it off for all games on Windows, and the second shows how to turn it off for just one game.

Note

You don’t need to do this if you have an Intel or AMD graphics card.

Method 1: Global Disable
