## What it is
A modified OpenVR DLL that injects AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution or NVIDIA Image Scaling upscaling into D3D11-based SteamVR games to boost frame rates. It is now in maintenance mode, superseded by the author's VR Performance Toolkit.

## Use cases
- improve fps in steamvr games
- apply fsr upscaling to vr games
- run vr games at lower resolution with upscaling
- boost vr performance on weak gpu
- use nvidia image scaling in steamvr

## When to choose
- you want to boost FPS in a D3D11 SteamVR game without changing game files
- you prefer a simple drop-in DLL mod over a larger toolkit

## When to avoid
- you need Oculus runtime support or additional performance tools - use VR Performance Toolkit instead
- your game does not use D3D11
- you expect DLSS-like anti-aliasing benefits

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, graphics, gpu-computing
- domain: gaming-tools, graphics, performance
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: vr, steamvr, fsr, nis, upscaling, modding, openvr
