RT and DLSS is why I wanted Nvidia GPU. 6800 is great, but ony in raster rendering. Their RT performance is still half of NVIDIA able to do and without something like DLSS yet, its made me hard to choose AMD
Its not bad in Ray tracing in every game. (At least dirt 5 runs better). The fact is most of raytraced games are based on Nvidias tech. But dlss is really great. Rx 6000 should have Their own version of dlss instead of ray tracing.
DLSS and DEFINITELY RAY TRACING is way superior for nvidia 2000 and 3000 rtx cards.. i did weeks of research and compared visually, amd is way behind nvidia for new games
It'l probably be the same story with the Nintendo Switch 2. (or whatever nintendo names their next system) because Nintendo's consoles seem to be the only one using Nvidia hardware
If you're on the fence about getting an RTX card, let me tell you, it's worth it just for this. I have an RTX 3050, which isn't super powerful by any means. But I can run the newest COD on Ultra settings at 135fps because of DLSS. With DLSS turned off, it drops down to like 68fps. Same exact thing with Cyberpunk, it literally doubled my frame rate.

DLSS has since reached version 3.7 and is the best thing to happen in PC gaming in my decades of being in this hobby. I usually do not enable anti-aliaising (I game at 3440x1440) so it's strange to me that DLSS is actually about about anti-aliaising as I see it more like an upscaler which drive games at a lower resolution but upscales it to your monitor's native resolution while increasing performance (framerates). I'm amazed at how even at Balanced mode there is no degradation in the image quality.
In a many cases DLSS looks better than native 4k. Death stranding is a very good example of this. DF did a great video on this. Truth be told you should always keep DLSS on, the extra frames are worth it and upsampling to 4k is near indistinguishable from the native stuff unless you’re really trying hard to find a difference. If you’re actually playing the game and not pixel peeping, it’ll be more than fine! Plus, upsampling is exactly how the new consoles are rendering at 4k.
@Cross country mechanical how does Sony figure in to this? :/ both consoles upsample.. they’re def not the end all be all, which I can agree to, but some of their content is informative for sure. LTT has similar results too about how good upsampling/DLSS looks.
@Cross country mechanical but they used Death Stranding on the PC and chose the game based on the engine I think. Also they try to be straight up saying things like the tools are newer in Xbox, Sony using similar architecture in both PS4/5 development. All the bigger media has Sony bias, most people just enjoy gaming.
So DLSS is basically just upscaling with lower cost of performance on GPU. quite nice but since im not using 4K TV/Monitor I think it wont really benefits me for the time being. But yeah thanks for the info in this video. really informative
Thanks Gamespot love these easy explainable vids on these tech jargon stuff. I want to go see if Quake 2 RTX has a DLSS setting to have a higher frame rate :)
With a decent computer setup I'm getting 190ish fps on native 1440p playing warzone. Is there any point in lowering the resolution and enabling dlss if the fps is already that good? Do you lower the monitor resolution and game resolution or just game resolution?
DLSS is great...and pretty much a requirement if you're using raytracing in games like Cyberpunk. Just got the 3080ti and tested it out and blown away with Raytracing. My 6700k CPU is old and being bottlenecked but the bottleneck is mostly when running at 1080p. At 1080p CPU is bottlenecked by 28% but I run most games these days at 4K so I am bottlenecked by about 9%.. Will probably upgrade CPU/motherboard in a year or so. No need to just yet.
Just go to Digital Foundry and watch their DLSS 2.0 videos. Not because this video is bad but because they just go super in depth and know exactly what they're talking about.
Unfortunately in 3440x1440p DLSS 1000% blurs the image quality. Using it in Black Ops Cold war on the quality setting, maxed out with RT off AND using Nvidia game filters to sharpen, remove some film grain and make the color pop. The gains are very real but the image quality is noticeable less crisp than turning it off and using AA on ultra with the same sharpening filters etc. So no, even DLSS 2.0 lowers image quality. It is so obvious idk how anyone can argue otherwise.
I use ReShade's shapren presets playing Death Stranding with dlss enabled at 21:9, it looks pretty solid. Buuuut, yeah hopefully that this won't be the case for CP2077.
I have rtx 2070s and i have tried dlss only on metro exodus and didn't like it at all. While the fps went up the image became very blurry and for me unplayable. So i reverted to non-dlss. Cant understand why you mentioned exodus as a dlss example game.
If you set DLSS performance mode and play on 4K. Do you need to lower the resolution or will it automatically be rendering a lower res while looking the same? Or am I supposed to lower the resolution?
Is it true that technology like DLSS made game developers lazy because instead of optimizing their games fully (like the good old day), they'll just heavily relying on DLSS?
I see not rly a big difference...may my 2k monitor isn good..but when i look..sorry..cant unterstand the "hype " of dlss..when more fps while dlss on ok but qualität is not better..i think..ähm mean..
DLSS - qualty and visual shapes penality. Imagine upscale 720p to 1080, you wil not have 1080 shapes, it will be bad quality on native 1080p monitor. It is same with upscaling 1080p to 4k. We need optimised gpus not dlss cheating
yeah ive thought about this too, but does it really matter because you cant tell the difference? even if its not "native" 1440p but because of DLSS magic the image is as good or even better, what does it matter? edit: i just looked it up and its always the half of the target. so for 1440p its 720p and 1080p its 540p. sounds low but the image quality is even better than native. this is some weird ass magic from nvidia.
Ignore Daniel Chamoun, he's not very bright. Image quality has a negligible difference. DLSS doesn't downsample, it actually upscales utilizing AI tensor cores found in your RTX GPU based on an algorithm produced through machine learning. It utilized various techniques to produce an image on par with a higher resolution, without requiring that resolution's native pixel count. For instance, if you've set DLSS to 1440p, it actually takes a 720p image and utilizes these techniques to produce a quality 1440p image on your monitor. This is why you gain frames.. it's technically a 720p image reproduced to be 1440p using AI, so you're getting a similar FPS to if you were playing 720p natively, but you're seeing a nice crisp 1440p image. And if you've got DLSS at 4k, it's taking a 1080p image and doing the same thing. Reproducing it via its algorithm to match the look of a 4k image by figuring out what the missing pixel information _should_ look like at 4k. But since it was originally a 1080p image, you're gaining FPS than if you were playing in native 4k. In many instances, the image produced by DLSS can actually produce a sharper image than native.
PS5 and XBSX use dynamic resolution to achieve "4k" graphics which means that if nothing moves on the screen the load is small on the components and you get a crisp, true 4k image. The moment you move something on screen it goes down fast... sometimes as low as 720p on modern titles. The logic used is that if things are moving you won't have time to notice the huge dip in resolution.
DLSS looks amazing at 4K. I generally can’t tell the difference between Balanced/Quality, and I’m pretty sure it looks better than native as long as you don’t go below balanced.
So, DLSS upscales a base resolution to a higher target resolution. But how do you determine the base resolution it uses internaly if the target is, let's say, 4k ?
its always the half of the target. so for 1440p its 720p and 1080p its 540p. sounds low yes but the image quality is even better than native. its fucking magic.
It's usually half resolution, or a 4x multiplier. So half the resolution of 4k (2160p) is 1080p. But it doesn't _just_ upscale. It utilizes various techniques in its algorithm to try to reproduce the image at the higher resolution without a noticeable loss in image quality. At least DLSS 2.0 does.. DLSS 1.9 and earlier are a fairly blurry mess.
I have a G7 32" Monitor that runs 240 at 1440. I use a RTX 3070TI. With monitor native 1440, I can't run at 4k anyway, so what would be the best setting for me? The monitor comes with G-SYNC also.
MY 1660 super can apparently run Raytracing on Cyberpunk. Not well, but it turns on. I can use DLSS On Darktide as well. On a 1660 super. Fairly strange as the word of law is gtx can not use thos options. Yet, I can lietrally prove that yes. It can. Somehow. so either people just lie. Or they just cant be bothered to do any research. Which needs to be done. I want to know why I can enable these settings when the debate says no I can not.

Where can you even *buy* the RTX version of Quake 2?
With a decent computer setup I'm getting 190ish fps on native 1440p playing warzone. Is there any point in lowering the resolution and enabling dlss if the fps is already that good? Do you lower the monitor resolution and game resolution or just game resolution?
Graphics driver with graphics card?
Me who have Intel: you guys have graphics?!!
DLSS is great...and pretty much a requirement if you're using raytracing in games like Cyberpunk. Just got the 3080ti and tested it out and blown away with Raytracing. My 6700k CPU is old and being bottlenecked but the bottleneck is mostly when running at 1080p. At 1080p CPU is bottlenecked by 28% but I run most games these days at 4K so I am bottlenecked by about 9%.. Will probably upgrade CPU/motherboard in a year or so. No need to just yet.
So if you don't have a 4k screen, dlss is not necessary?
God of war pc looks fantastic with my geforce 4060 and dlss on. Nice video.
Just you wait for GOWR.
Nintendo switch pro here we come!!
Just go to Digital Foundry and watch their DLSS 2.0 videos. Not because this video is bad but because they just go super in depth and know exactly what they're talking about.
short answer: dlss is smart ai upscaling and you should use it if your card supports it
TLDW: It's magic and yes 😅
This video felt like 20 minutes wtf
Plz do Battlefield 2042
This seems too good to be true. More quality *and* more FPS? There has to be a catch.
That catch is probability, and that is what AI is based on.
It looks blury lol
The catch is you need an rtx card
Whats tge difference settings mean?
In 2042 theres balanced, performance, ultra performance, quality, etc
Unfortunately in 3440x1440p DLSS 1000% blurs the image quality. Using it in Black Ops Cold war on the quality setting, maxed out with RT off AND using Nvidia game filters to sharpen, remove some film grain and make the color pop. The gains are very real but the image quality is noticeable less crisp than turning it off and using AA on ultra with the same sharpening filters etc.
So no, even DLSS 2.0 lowers image quality. It is so obvious idk how anyone can argue otherwise.
I use ReShade's shapren presets playing Death Stranding with dlss enabled at 21:9, it looks pretty solid. Buuuut, yeah hopefully that this won't be the case for CP2077.
Thank you for the clarification. Nice useful content.
I have rtx 2070s and i have tried dlss only on metro exodus and didn't like it at all. While the fps went up the image became very blurry and for me unplayable. So i reverted to non-dlss. Cant understand why you mentioned exodus as a dlss example game.
Does that game use DLSS 1.0?
@@PimpMatt0 i dont know for sure. But if it does use dlss 1 it shouldnt be advised as a well implemented dlss solution.
@@revanushka DLSS 2.0 is the shit. other DLSS are blurry messes.
@@PimpMatt0 no its not 2.0
i got from 50fps to 80fps so yeahh.... its pretty damn good
First
I turned dlss quality, performance, bla bla In a plague tale requam but see no difference lol
If you set DLSS performance mode and play on 4K. Do you need to lower the resolution or will it automatically be rendering a lower res while looking the same? Or am I supposed to lower the resolution?
Is it true that technology like DLSS made game developers lazy because instead of optimizing their games fully (like the good old day), they'll just heavily relying on DLSS?
i have a 3090 so should I even use dlss? im not a techie person tho so idk
Honesty, though: Do we need 8K displays? Would people REALLY spot the difference between 4K and 8K?
I see not rly a big difference...may my 2k monitor isn good..but when i look..sorry..cant unterstand the "hype " of dlss..when more fps while dlss on ok but qualität is not better..i think..ähm mean..
DLSS - qualty and visual shapes penality. Imagine upscale 720p to 1080, you wil not have 1080 shapes, it will be bad quality on native 1080p monitor. It is same with upscaling 1080p to 4k. We need optimised gpus not dlss cheating
It's still confusing for me. For example, if I play at 1440p Ultra with RTX and DLSS on, what resolution is it downsampling from?
yeah ive thought about this too, but does it really matter because you cant tell the difference? even if its not "native" 1440p but because of DLSS magic the image is as good or even better, what does it matter?
edit: i just looked it up and its always the half of the target. so for 1440p its 720p and 1080p its 540p. sounds low but the image quality is even better than native. this is some weird ass magic from nvidia.
@@erkki542 image quality is definitely not better than native. It's more blurry. Literally swapping back and forth on black ops cold war right now.
Ignore Daniel Chamoun, he's not very bright.
Image quality has a negligible difference. DLSS doesn't downsample, it actually upscales utilizing AI tensor cores found in your RTX GPU based on an algorithm produced through machine learning. It utilized various techniques to produce an image on par with a higher resolution, without requiring that resolution's native pixel count.
For instance, if you've set DLSS to 1440p, it actually takes a 720p image and utilizes these techniques to produce a quality 1440p image on your monitor. This is why you gain frames.. it's technically a 720p image reproduced to be 1440p using AI, so you're getting a similar FPS to if you were playing 720p natively, but you're seeing a nice crisp 1440p image.
And if you've got DLSS at 4k, it's taking a 1080p image and doing the same thing. Reproducing it via its algorithm to match the look of a 4k image by figuring out what the missing pixel information _should_ look like at 4k. But since it was originally a 1080p image, you're gaining FPS than if you were playing in native 4k.
In many instances, the image produced by DLSS can actually produce a sharper image than native.
3:40 - what game is this? Looks delicious
Death Stranding
Hideo kojimo walking simulator
DLSS is basically the opposite of Nvidia DSR, I doubt it can upscale and reconstruct an image to the same detail as native 4k.
I am fed up with all this snobbery. I am going to install a 3080 into an Core 2 E8400 system. So there....
can people really not tell the difference with dlss resolution? i have really good eyes and notice even the smallest of pixelation differences
i tried it in minecraft with ray tracing and it doubled my frames. ngl its kinda unreal
I wonder if the ps5 and XBSX use the same technique to achieve "4k" graphics.
PS5 doesn't support DLSS.
PS5 and XBSX use dynamic resolution to achieve "4k" graphics which means that if nothing moves on the screen the load is small on the components and you get a crisp, true 4k image. The moment you move something on screen it goes down fast... sometimes as low as 720p on modern titles. The logic used is that if things are moving you won't have time to notice the huge dip in resolution.
Consoles use dynamic resolution and checkerboard rendering.
@JD It's "up to 4k". They are not technically lying but it is disingenuous IMO. It's like saying a car can reach 100MPH but only downhill.
DLSS looks amazing at 4K. I generally can’t tell the difference between Balanced/Quality, and I’m pretty sure it looks better than native as long as you don’t go below balanced.
RTX 20 and 30 only? See ya.
Just play at 1080p like a normal person :D
So if I have a beefy system I don’t need this?
I have a GTX 1060. Unfortunately, this doesn't apply.
I was wondering what this was all about!
basically sharpen image + aa can be achieved with any GPU but Ray tracing can't.
what is the game at 1:44 2:34 3:50 ?
Metro
DLSS is God’s latest gift to Earth.
Good for out of date graphics cards like rtx 2060.
so i could go to 720p turn DLSS on and it would look like 1080p i guess?
Me with 1080P laptop display...😎😏
So, DLSS upscales a base resolution to a higher target resolution. But how do you determine the base resolution it uses internaly if the target is, let's say, 4k ?
its always the half of the target. so for 1440p its 720p and 1080p its 540p. sounds low yes but the image quality is even better than native. its fucking magic.
It's usually half resolution, or a 4x multiplier. So half the resolution of 4k (2160p) is 1080p. But it doesn't _just_ upscale. It utilizes various techniques in its algorithm to try to reproduce the image at the higher resolution without a noticeable loss in image quality. At least DLSS 2.0 does.. DLSS 1.9 and earlier are a fairly blurry mess.
@@erkki542 its not better its an ugly blurry mess
@@gregorB92 depends on the game. Works very well in control. Not so well on metro exodus and cyberpunk for example
@@gregorB92 I agree. Dlss dosent compare to real 4k
Anyone know the name of the beat on the background?
this video should be uploaded in 4k to really see differences
I have a G7 32" Monitor that runs 240 at 1440. I use a RTX 3070TI. With monitor native 1440, I can't run at 4k anyway, so what would be the best setting for me? The monitor comes with G-SYNC also.
How can i enable it, I can't find where the dlss setting
MY 1660 super can apparently run Raytracing on Cyberpunk. Not well, but it turns on. I can use DLSS On Darktide as well. On a 1660 super. Fairly strange as the word of law is gtx can not use thos options. Yet, I can lietrally prove that yes. It can. Somehow. so either people just lie. Or they just cant be bothered to do any research. Which needs to be done. I want to know why I can enable these settings when the debate says no I can not.
Honestly, the only reason I haven’t just bought a 6700xt already is solely because of 3070 having dlss
If you turn on dlss while on 1080p Low setting will you still gain a fps increase?
off-course
You didn't explain what it is or how it works?
