Summary

  • Groups the game’s built-in DLSS and NVIDIA DLSS Super Resolution under Graphics → Game Upscaling. A short hint explains which takes priority when both are enabled.
  • Makes the Graphics tab scrollable so the NVIDIA setup controls, including Open Folder, stay accessible in smaller windows.
  • Shortens the tooltips, updates the documentation, and makes Streamline report the setup failure. The fallback depends on the game and renderer path.

Validation

  • Windows x64 build passed using cached dependencies.
  • The Graphics panel passed a compile check with Streamline disabled.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Graphics settings now group game and NVIDIA upscaling options under “Game Upscaling,” with a priority hint when both options are enabled.
    • The graphics settings page can be resized and scrolled.
  • Updates

    • Updated setting descriptions and NVIDIA file status messages to clarify supported-game behavior and restart requirements.
    • Updated documentation to explain when game-built-in DLSS or NVIDIA DLSS takes priority.

Walkthrough

The PR updates DLSS setting descriptions and graphics-page layout, revises NVIDIA DLSS panel status text, and removes inaccurate FSR 3.1 fallback claims from Streamline logs. Existing Streamline checks and failure paths remain unchanged.

Changes: DLSS Settings and Status

Layer / File(s) Summary
DLSS setting descriptions
docs/native-dlss-replacement.md, docs/nx2/oot-network-bypass.md, src/qt_common/config/shared_translation.cpp
The documentation and setting text distinguish built-in game DLSS from NVIDIA DLSS, describe priority and startup behavior, and update stated fallback paths.
Graphics settings layout and status
src/yuzu/configuration/configure_graphics.cpp, src/yuzu/configuration/nvidia_dlss_panel.cpp
The graphics page uses a scroll area and a Game Upscaling group. The NVIDIA DLSS panel updates its layout, release link, and file-status messages.
Streamline failure logs
src/video_core/vulkan_common/streamline.cpp
Streamline warnings no longer state that FSR 3.1 will be used after DLSS-related failures. The checks and return paths are unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 05e77

Some DLSS settings can appear ready while using a different upscale path, and the panel can overstate whether a model will work. The PR is mergeable with bounded owner follow-up to correct this guidance.

Explanation

The title names the two main parts of the change: the DLSS setting clarification and the Graphics tab layout update. The raw summary confirms both. The Graphics page now sits in a scrollable area, a Game Upscaling group holds the DLSS controls, and the tooltips and status text were reworded. The title does not name the Streamline log-message change or the documentation updates, but those are secondary. The title is concise and specific enough for a teammate scanning history.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 0.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 5 functions across 4 files.

Remove the remaining FSR fallback claim.

If Streamline cannot find the DLSS plugin, this warning still says “Using FSR 3.1”. That is incorrect for Ocarina, which does not use FSR, as documented in docs/native-dlss-replacement.md Lines 32–34. Remove the claim here too. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Restore the resolution-scale guidance for built-in DLSS.

In Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave, a non-1x resolution makes the captured DLSS chain attempt a replacement instead of selecting the network output. Tell users to select 1x to allow that output.

Restore the Fire Emblem setup requirement.

For Fire Emblem, enabling NVIDIA DLSS without EDEN_NX2_DLSS_REPLACEMENT=dlss leaves the spatial workaround active. The tooltip removes the instruction needed to select NVIDIA DLSS. Restore it or link to the setup instructions. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not promise that an unverified DLSS file will be used.

If only nvngx_dlss.dll is present and its signature is invalid, this status says the model “will be used after setup.” FindDlssFiles() checks only that the file exists. Streamline::Start() rejects the unsigned model, even after the loader is installed. Describe the file as found until runtime validation succeeds. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
