Issue has a temporary workaround with a comment from user @NoStrain
”I can confirm manually replacing the nvngx_dlss.dll file with the most recent version from Nvidia (310.2.1.0) in the installation directory has resolved this issue.
Upscaling is now enabled and I have gone from ~50fps back to the original ~75fps I had before upgrading to a RTX 5080.
IIRC anything above v2 will resolve the issue (i.e. 3.8.10 should also work).”
Summary:
Unable to enable upscaling when using an RTX 5080.
Steps to reproduce:
(With a 3000 or 4000 series RTX graphics card)
Download and create an RTX world from the Minecraft Marketplace by searching 'RTX'.
Enable RTX in Video settings.
Enable Upscaling in Video settings.
(With a 5000 series RTX graphics card)
Attempt the same.
Observed results:
RTX is able to be enabled but not Upscaling as it is greyed out.
Expected results:
The upscaling toggle should be available

I met the same issue on my RTX 5070Ti. The built-in dlss.dll of the Bedrock Edition does not support the latest RTX 50 series.
Can anybody record a video of this issue?
Sure, here’s a video. You cannot see my cursor but I am circling the Upscaling option and I cannot click it because it is greyed out/disabled.
As @FUNser0311 mentioned, is it possible to just update the DLSS version? Or give us the ability to do so manually via the Nvidia app?

Getting access to the installation directory is not trivial, so this is not a viable fix. The file will need to be updated by Mojang via release. IIRC anything above v2 will resolve the issue (ie. 3.8.10 should also work).
And finally, I and the community would be greatful if there was official news on RTX on MC. Has it ceased development? Will there be any plans on introducing more Nvidia technologies such as FrameGen or Ray Reconstruction? Maybe being able to select the DLSS presets?
Thank you.
Please take care of the game and such a simple fix that’s been an issue for so long! Take care of the modern features 🙂
the saddest part I have noticed is that the “RTX” page on their website was updated to be all AMD and Radeon software stuff…. I’m sure they’re just not working as directly with Nvidia anymore (I could be wrong and I sure hope I am wrong… we need an Nvidia DLL update!!!)
Thanks for looking into this! I'm experiencing the same issue on an RTX 5060 Laptop GPU.
RTX is enabled and works perfectly
DLSS/upscaling setting is shown, but does not apply or is greyed out
Tried reinstalling drivers and Minecraft, no change
Replacing
nvngx_dlss.dllhelps, but it's not an ideal fix
It would be amazing if Mojang and NVIDIA could cooperate on an official solution 🙏
Thanks again for reopening this!
I strongly request Mojang to fix this issue as soon as possible.
The current workaround requires using an unofficial launcher and manually replacing DLSS files, which is not an acceptable long-term solution.
This method is risky, complicated for most players, and could be blocked at any time.
Many players are simply unable to enable upscaling, which damages the RTX experience in Minecraft Bedrock.
Please prioritize this fix in the next update rather than postponing it.
As of Latest Update 1.21.72 this is still an issue on the RTX5080 (And I believe RTX50 series as a whole)
