    "why": "Swapping DLSS files by hand is an easy way to lose originals, and which games it works in is trial and error. DLSS 5 Swapper scans Steam, Epic, GOG and Game Pass folders, manages install, restore and backup per game, and routes games without DLSS through Feeder and old APIs through dgVoodoo. An F8 overlay moves the sliders in-game, and a community page shows reports from people with your card. Free, MIT, Windows 10/11 only; for anti-cheat games it warns of crashes or bans.",
