# lonewolf0622/HelixSR

> A hybrid Direct3D 12 upscaler: FSR 3.1-compatible interface but image reconstruction via DLSS Model E, without Tensor Cores, CUDA or ROCm. It replaces a game's FidelityFX DLL to improve image quality on older and lower-end AMD GPUs.

- Magnitude: 3.8 out of 10 — Early signal
- Stars: 76 total · Not enough measurements today
- Star trust: star growth looks organic

## Useful for

- Swap a game's FSR 3.1 DLL for HelixSR to get DLSS Model E upscaling on an AMD GPU
- Test the upscaler on RDNA 1 and newer under Linux via Proton and vkd3d-proton
- Enable optional RCAS sharpening or restore NVIDIA's Ultra Performance network via helixsr.ini

## Why it’s here

- There are not enough fresh counter measurements for today's UTC day. The gain is unknown.
- The repository is 2 days old and already has 76 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #142.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 1
- Issues and pull requests: 4
- Watchers: 3
- Average over the last week: 39 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 2
- Latest release: v1.2.0 (2026-10-06)

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
