you're telling me 540p upscaled to 4k didn't look horrendous? What lightning in a bottle type wizardry is going on here
Sorry that's 540p to 1080p, 1080p is the output resolution I set in the game and used DLSS quality, but I'm still viewing all this on a 4k set.

720p to 4k looked better than it ever has though, and honestly I found that mode (DLSS ultra performance) usable already for couch gaming.

no performance hit here, been trying it with returnal using frame gen also.







Going to try now with talos principle 2 but without frame gen.

Oh okay, still pretty impressive (especially for "free") I assume you use the 3080 in your system spec

I've now tried 5 games and so far the difference is in them all, seems to apply universally with just this DLL and forcing the new preset.

Even on a 30 series I'd easily say this is the preferable way to play with DLSS, as you can effectively use a lower mode to get the same or more performance as before (eg DLSS B now instead of Q) and get the cumulative improvements to motion clarity, detail, sharpness etc.

I'm feeling less than whelmed by the 5090 hardware review so far, but the transformer model is chefs kiss for RTX owners. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and testimonials for those willing to get it running.

Ok so there isn't much performance hit, I measured 4-6% between CNN Quality and Transformer Quality.

The biggest improvement for me , and I can't wrap my head around that, is in the Performance and Ultra performance modes. They really are playable. Before I couldn't use anything other than quality. :clap:

Would be interesting to see if there are bigger differences between generations or even skews (% wise)

On talos, I lose an average of 4/5% over dlss 3.5, both on quality and dlaa.

the image quality is better, but not perfect, sometimes looks oversharpened.

I will use it if needed over previous versions though, overall is an improvement even if you lose a bit of fps. Way less blurry

DLAA







DLSS Quality
