What DLSS/FSR Upscaling Mode do you use?

[shagath]

I don't want to get too into this even if I could go technical also but as a gamer since 286 pc's (well on Nintendo 8bit before that even) and with games of that era being good also; I don't really care that much if there are some graphical glitches. They still look better than all games 20 years ago for example. It wouldn't be dealbreaker for me if Witcher 4 looked like Witcher 1...

I do love good graphics so of course I use ultra settings and DLAA if possible, but I still don't care that much of the graphics but more of the immersion & everything else. For example, sounds matter more to me than few graphical glitches. That being said I can as easily just drop down to high quality and DLSS performance. I rather take 90fps with few glimmers than better looking 60fps (possibly with random stuttering).

I chose "native" because there was no option for supersampling.
I have a 1440p monitor. I play at 4K in games that my GPU can handle 4K at and where the UI scaling doesn't get ruined. At least in the games I play, this looks just as good or better than MSAA x8, and runs much faster. I mostly play old or indie games which don't even support DLSS or FSR.
I don't think FSR/DLSS are bad technologies, but when they're available, I want to use them for antialiasing, not for higher frame rates. If I want higher frame rates, I'll turn down the lighting and fog settings which don't make any noticeable difference to graphics but still tank fps.
I hate jaggies.

Ultra Performance​

Because what else to use when ur game lags cus ur 2 year old 700 bucks video card is not good enough for even games from 2 years ago? Usually performance, but the newer games tend to want to go even further. Id love to use native but you know.. slideshows aint fun.

You have the same options in Nvidia's control panel, so you can override most games that way.

There's only 1 game that wont run right at native ultra on a 4070 super/4070ti, and that is black myth wukong. Even then, you dont need ultra performance to make that game playable.

and that is black myth wukong.

And not everyone is impressed by that game.

With DLSS Transformer model coming out I bet the percentage of people utilizing Balanced/Performance mode will go up tremenously

I'm a hold out, but if the quality is there, I would use it. Right now DLSS just isn't quite there compared to a native render.

Sorry to go off topic a little but I've been wondering this for a while.... does AMD's version of downsampling rival dldsr? I heard its closer to the original dsr, which isn't as good. And honestly, because I was unsure, that was part of the reason I got a 4090 rather than an amd card ( I as pissed at nvidia at the time, well and myself, for getting a 3070 with only 8gb, only for that to start becoming an issue only a few months later so I was primed for a change) But the downsampling uncertainty plus the pricing difference is what made me hold my nose and go nvidia again ( AMD prices were way higher than US MSRP at the time yet the 4090 was UNDER US msrp - guess I got lucky on that one).

Anyway, have you used both? How would you compare them?

Oh yeah, I tried using the the transformer model in ff7 rebirth and either it didn't work or I couldn't tell the difference. DLSS is done weird in that game so maybe thats why, I find I can't really use it at all or the hair looks weird as heck. Guess I'll just have to wait.

Both brands have virtual super resolution and you can use it the same way.
I'm currently playing AC Mirage.
On RTX 4080 Super I can do DSR x2,25 + DLSS Quality - DLSS is not good enough in this game and changes some objects.
On the 7900 XTX VSR + Driver Frame generation - FG if you look closely can be seen on some objects as well.


So either way there are compromises.
With both cards I can play with enough FPS on my current 2560x1080p resolution without these addons.
The AMD way can be played practically anywhere (dx11, dx12, vulkan) and the card is cheaper, the Nvidia way only if implemented in the game.
