In the game's graphics settings menu there's options to lock the framerate to max of 60, 120, or 144. You may have it set to 120.

But yeah, thanks for doing the comparison test. To me DLSS 2.0 is awesome and I can't wait to take advantage of it in games that support it once I upgrade. I'd much rather use DLSS 2.0 upscaled from 1080 to get better performance, than the slightly better image quality of native res. Honestly I don't even think the image quality difference is noticeable when you're actually playing the game, but you can bet your ass the boost in framerate is.

Damn, I didn't even think to check for that. I forgot that option existed until you mentioned it. :lol: I have a suspicion it will just move from 120 to 144 locked though, I'm already at 100+ fps with DLSS at 4k at least in that area.

Yeah to properly test at 1080 you would probably need to gimp your 8700 to create a bottleneck by disabling cores and reducing clock speed so that you peg CPU utilization to 100%. That would for sure drop framerate a good amount even with your 2080 Ti.

You probably don't have the time to bother with that but if you did I believe the Intel Extreme Tuning Utility could do it.

DLSS doesn't touch dynamic resolution scaling, that might be an in game setting instead if you're seeing that.


In Death Stranding there is a consistent fps increase going from no AA to DLSS, which is expected, it's using a lower internal render. Most people will play with some type of AA so that difference is going to grow.



Also this wasn't intended to be an image quality comparison but a performance comparison, but if we're going to do that, then no-AA comparisons should be done in a video. Still shots doesn't even come close to showing the eye bleeding artificats running a game without AA shows. DLSS 2.0 looks comparable if not better than a native 4k image with AA applied. Every AA method will smooth out pixels to some degree, so that "sharp" look isn't going to be there with TAA,SSAA, DLSS, etc.. but DLSS 2.0 gives you back that comparable native 4k image without the performance hit.

does DLSS need dedicated hardware?

I believe it uses Tensor cores to offload the load from the main CUDA cores or whatever?

I dont quite understand how it works....AI machine learning what?

So if it was to be implemented in some fashion on a non-nvidia card how does it go about doing its work?

I assume DLSS works with any resolution?

For example, my 3840x1600 oddball 21:9 resolution? All I ever see is the usual 1440P/4K DLSS examples, but I assume it works for anything...

that i don know if it does

Thanks, that's helpful.

I was thinking about it today as I was going through 3080 benchmarks because it requires scanned images to work. So I started thinking about how that would work for ultrawide resolutions if they scanned in 16:9. And if it DID work, does that mean each game would need their own updates to get it to work with new scanned images?

It seems like some of them might work, but I haven't come across much.



Has anyone here tested any of the DLSS games on 3440x1440 or 3840x1600?

As I said earlier in this thread, I played Control at 1920x800 DLSS:ed up to 3840x1600.

And it still looked comparable to native 3840x1600.

DLSS = Magic.

Awesome! I did see a single link saying Control was added to UW support, but haven't seen anything for any other games.

Have you tested anything else? Thanks! :)

Will Metro be updated with DLSS 2.0?

Any chance you were simply running Epic Reflections versus all RT Effects and confused the two when noting performance?
