Ahjo.Vulkan.Ngx.Native

Raw P/Invoke bindings over NVIDIA's NGX (DLSS) Vulkan C API, for .NET 10.

This package does not contain DLSS

It contains no feature DLL. nvngx_dlss.dll (Windows) and libnvidia-ngx-dlss.so.<version> (Linux) are NVIDIA's, are covered by the NVIDIA RTX SDKs licence, and are yours to ship: download them from NVIDIA/DLSS and place the file beside your application's executable. Without it, feature creation fails at runtime with NVSDK_NGX_Result_FAIL_UnableToInitializeFeature — the bindings load and the shim runs, but there is nothing for NGX to load.

Three things follow from that, and they are the consumer's responsibility, not this package's:

  • Ship the rel/ build, never the dev/ build. The dev/ feature DLL carries an on-screen debug watermark and must never be redistributed.
  • The obligations in NGX-LICENSE.txt are yours. That file is packed at the root of this nupkg so it travels with the code, but accepting it is a decision you make when you ship the feature DLL.
  • NVIDIA hardware and driver required. DLSS runs inside the display driver. There is no fallback path and no software implementation.

What the package does contain
Managed bindings 27 DllImports + the NGX enums, structs and 204 UTF-8 parameter-name constants
runtimes/win-x64/native/ahjo_ngx.dll the shim, built from native/ngx/src/
runtimes/linux-x64/native/libahjo_ngx.so same, for Linux
NGX-LICENSE.txt NVIDIA RTX SDKs licence text

The shim exists because NVIDIA ships NGX as a static client library with no DLL to P/Invoke. ahjo_ngx links that archive and re-exports 20 of its symbols verbatim, plus 7 ahjo_ngx_* additions that replace the entry points taking wchar_t — whose width differs between Windows and Linux — with UTF-8 equivalents. Nothing wide crosses into managed code.

Only win-x64 and linux-x64 exist: those are the only platforms NVIDIA publishes NGX libraries for.

Status

This is the raw binding layer. The idiomatic wrapper (NgxContext, DlssFeature, and the render-loop integration) is a later phase; see issue #214.

Part of Ahjo.Vulkan. MIT licensed — which covers this package's own code, not NVIDIA's binaries.
