Super Mario Odyssey: base rendering, neural passes and generated frames explained
Super Mario Odyssey PC comparison: base game, DLSS 5 neural rendering and Live Flow frame generation. See which controls affect image processing, which add output frames, and how to compare them sensibly.
The key checkpoint: The neural pass slider and Live Flow 2x control change different things. The recorded shots explain workflows, not a controlled same-scene FPS benchmark.
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 Power Moon Recomp 0.2.0 with the 1.0.0 base game and no updates.
- 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
Super Mario Odyssey on PC
Here are three ways to play Mario Odyssey on PC: the base game, a DLSS 5 neural-rendering add-on, and external frame generation. Let's compare what they change, and which controls to use, without confusing neural passes with generated frames. Start with the base game.
Walkthrough 02
The base game
This is Power Moon Recomp running the opening area without the later Manager setup. For a straightforward installation, this is the first result to aim for: movement, camera control and a save that resumes. The port's game logic runs at sixty updates per second; higher displayed output uses a separate interpolation or generation path. Next is the neural-rendering route.
Walkthrough 03
DLSS neural rendering
The Manager installs the add-on, and Home opens its controls. Enabled, Upscaled, Auto Balance and one pass are the starting choices shown here. Use this route when you want to experiment with the image. Raising the pass slider adds neural evaluations, not new gameplay frames. Now compare Live Flow.
Walkthrough 04
Live Flow frame generation
Its MFG control is a different feature from the neural-pass slider. The recorded mode is 2x, with Auto game type and Quality preset B. The panel shows source-to-output estimates, but these shots are not a controlled same-scene benchmark. Use them to understand the workflow, not to promise the same number on every PC. My order would be simple.
Walkthrough 05
Which route should you use?
First get the base game working and back up the save. Then test neural rendering if the picture is your priority. Test frame generation separately if smoother output is the goal. Use the same scene, resolution and camera movement each time. Keep the combination that feels best to play, rather than choosing only by a counter. That's the route shown in this recording.

Finish and community
For build testing, setup help and comparing results with other PC players, join my Discord from the description. Share the port version, your graphics card and the exact step you're on, and keep your save backed up before trying another build.
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. |
