Not all DLSS2 games can be upgraded to DLSS3

What’s preventing you from doing a DLL swap on any DLSS2 game?

Nvidia's own list states 173 games total are natively supported or upgraded to support DLSS3.
Not all DLSS2 games can be upgraded to DLSS3, as noted by Nvidia's list of supported titles.
It sounds like you are conflating specific definitions and features that Nvidia created, see below.

"DLSS 3 is a revolutionary breakthrough in AI-powered graphics that massively boosts performance, while maintaining great image quality and responsiveness. Building upon DLSS Super Resolution, DLSS 3 adds Optical Multi Frame Generation to generate entirely new frames, and integrates NVIDIA Reflex low latency technology for optimal responsiveness. DLSS 3 is powered by the new fourth-generation Tensor Cores and Optical Flow Accelerator of the NVIDIA Ada Lovelace architecture, which powers GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards."

Maybe there are some exceptions but since DLSS2 you should be able to put whatever DLL you want in there. You can even choose what preset you want to use. IDK why NV App uses a whitelist for this functionality. There are other programs you can use for this, or you can do it yourself manually. I've never encountered a problem doing this, but it's been a while since I bothered.

Maybe this could get you banned in multiplayer games and that's why NVIDIA uses a whitelist. I've never heard of this happening but it does seem like a possibility.

Cleaned up the thread to leave the high signal information and remove the back and forth about how best to count the number of titles that support FSR3.1 and DLSS2 or higher (including the user or a tool or whatever doing some work to upgrade DLLs to get to the latest versions, assuming hardware support and the game allowing that).
