Mario Kart World: compare the base game, community neural effect and Live Flow
Mario Kart World PC comparison: the base Eglantine setup, community DLSS 5 / ReShade image processing and Live Flow frame generation. Learn what each route changes and which controls to use.
The key checkpoint: Start from a working base race. Image processing, additional presented frames and the underlying simulation are separate considerations.
Before you start
- Keep a backup of saves and a known working base installation. Use your own legally obtained game files.
- This page follows the matching recorded video, not a new benchmark or a guarantee for other PCs.
- DLSS 5 Manager is an independent community project; this is not official NVIDIA integration in the game.
- The recording uses Eglantine build 219 on Windows. Keep exefs and romfs together and select exefs/main in the file picker.
- The shown Live Flow profile is DLSS MFG, 2x, Auto game type and Quality preset B. Higher output does not establish faster simulation.
Documentation check, 6 November 2026: the Manager repository identifies itself as an independent community project and links its third-party notices. This article preserves the recorded controls and versions; compare current release notes before updating.

Walkthrough 01
Mario Kart World on PC
Mario Kart World on PC has a base setup, a community DLSS 5 image-processing route, and external frame generation. They do different jobs. Here is what each setup changes, what the recordings show, and how to choose which one is useful for your own PC. First, the base setup.
Walkthrough 02
Base game
This is Eglantine running Mario Kart World with the recorded Vulkan profile. It is the simplest route and the first one to verify. The race itself, controller response and shader behavior are your baseline. Keep a copy of these working settings before testing extra graphics tools. Second, the community DLSS 5 and ReShade route.
Walkthrough 03
DLSS 5 / ReShade route
This changes image processing. The setup targets the emulator executable, uses Vulkan, and enables the neural add-on in-game. Compare the image using the same camera position on your own system. A neural pass setting is not a frame-generation multiplier. Third, Live Flow frame generation.
Walkthrough 04
Live Flow frame generation
This is a separate switch in the Manager. The recorded profile uses 2x, Auto and Quality Preset B. Its purpose is additional output frames, rather than changing the underlying race simulation. Our capture is sixty frames per second, so it cannot display every output frame on a higher-refresh screen. Which should you try?
Walkthrough 05
Which setup fits your goal?
Start with the base game. If you want to experiment with the picture, test the neural add-on. If your focus is motion, test Live Flow separately. Use the same race section and keep resolution unchanged when judging them. These recordings show the three workflows in play; they are not a controlled same-scene benchmark. That's the complete route for this setup.

Finish and community
For PC setup help, build testing and comparing results with other players, join my Discord from the description. Share your emulator version, graphics card and the step you're on. Keep your working settings and saves backed up, and enjoy the race.
If your result differs
| Situation | Next useful check |
|---|---|
| A different result or interface appears | Check the exact build, last successful checkpoint and original resource documentation. Keep a working configuration before experimenting. |
| Motion looks worse or controls feel delayed | Disable the extra processing and compare the same scene at the same resolution. Test one route at a time. |
| Only a high output counter looks convincing | The delivered video is 60 fps and the clips are not a controlled comparative benchmark. Check actual responsiveness and image stability on your display. |
