PowerShell script/module that allows globally updating DLSS for all games

UpdateDLSS.ps1

# Global DLSS update script by emoose - https://gist.github.com/emoose/11271bbb3b42fb3b1b0e1c83eef47c05
# Allows setting up driver to use a single global DLSS DLL for majority of DLSS2/3 games
# If the global version is newer than the one included with game, it should get loaded automatically
# (how this works: https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/.439761/page-143#post-6221767)
#
# Almost all DLSS3 games should work, DLSS2 is hit-and-miss
# (DLSS2 games with customized appid probably won't work, thanks to some pointless nvngx checks)
# DLSSD/DLSSG should work fine with nearly all games (re-run the script for each DLL you want to update)
#
# Usage:
# - press the Raw button on the right side, select all contents with CTRL+A, copy with CTRL+C (don't download as file as PS won't allow execution)
# - paste contents into notepad, save as UpdateDLSS.ps1
# - find the saved script, right click -> "Run with PowerShell"
# - when asked for DLL path, drag+drop an nvngx_dlss file into the window, and press enter
# - if Run with PowerShell option doesn't appear, you can also run through command prompt or powershell: "powershell C:\Users\emoose\Downloads\UpdateDLSS.ps1"
#
# To undo the changes from this script just clear out the "C:\ProgramData\NVIDIA\NGX\models" folder
# This folder should regen the next time DLSS is used, and games will go back to using the DLL from their game folder
#
# Advanced setup (installing as PowerShell module):
# - save script as UpdateDLSS.psm1 into powershell modules folder, so you can use it from any location
#    Depending on PS version, save to either:
#      - Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\UpdateDLSS\UpdateDLSS.psm1
#      - Documents\PowerShell\Modules\UpdateDLSS\UpdateDLSS.psm1
#    Alternatively System32 should work for all PS versions:
#      - C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules\UpdateDLSS\UpdateDLSS.psm1
#    With it saved into modules folder, you should be able to open a new powershell window and then run "UpdateDLSS" from any location
#    (or run "UpdateDLSS -DllPath C:\DLLs\nvngx_dlss.dll")
#
# If ran without -DllPath param you'll be prompted for the path to the DLSS DLL
# When prompted you can usually just drag+drop the DLL into the powershell window
# Admin access shouldn't be required for this script
#
# Changelog:
#  2025-01-27: further snippet type improvements, renamed to UpdateDLSS.ps1 for easier usage
#  2025-01-26: improved snippet type detection, updated comments
#  2025-01-24: updated to get correct version of v310 files

uhm hai, i still get preset E on black ops 6 but someone in reddit got a preset K after using this step. so i wonder how to get preset K on black ops 6 while my game is already on dlss 310.2.1 using this script
