Windows, Steam, DX8-DX12, Vulkan, emulators

Where Swapper runs and what it hooks: Windows 10/11, Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox, DX8/9/11/12, Vulkan, OpenGL and 18+ emulators.

DLSS 5 Swapper v2.2.9 is a free MIT Windows desktop app by Rakan Alkhaldi (community project). The public landing still shows Download, features and checksums only. This hub exists so search engines and AI crawlers can open a clean HTML/Markdown URL for the topic.

Native DLSS games upgrade in place. Non-DLSS DX9/11/12, Vulkan and OpenGL titles use the DLSS5-Feeder route. The F8 overlay tunes the neural pass live. Restore originals puts every file back.

Download the Windows installer or portable build, scan your library, pick a route per game, and keep or restore the backup if a title needs stock DLLs. Skip online and anti-cheat titles entirely.
