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.
