Is DLSS Really "Better Than Native"? - 24 Game Comparison, DLSS 2 vs FSR 2 vs Native

I would really love this saame exact video but comparing dlaa to dlss quality. As all this video really does for me every time I watch it, is confirm that dlaa is almost always superior.

However dlaa vs dlss, I'd like to see your thoughts on very very much, to see the quality difference in purely the upscaling not the aa difference

Native will always be better, especially at lower resolutions. FSR and DLSS just introduce oversharpening and film grain.

Mw3 looks better at 1080p quality dlss then no dlss

My life is broken

What about framerate though?

ALSO on my NVIDIA card FSR did never give me any performance boost it just looks worse... unless you manually turn down the games resolutiopnscaling which would give me performance boost anyway

WTH to me the dllss quality is BETTER AND SHARPER is he halusinating or are these shots swapped by mistake

FSR and DLSS are better than Native 1080p in 95% of the game where you can't turn off TAA. TAA on 1080p screens blurs everything on movement.

DLSS looks shaper than the native resolution

Dlss is the best thing ever nvidia created

For me the 3 look exactly the same.

it is NOT better than native, even if antialiasing is better, the image is softer and loses detail.

I’m actually pleasantly surprised by FSR, considering that it was using an RTX GPU and it’s not gate-kept on just one architecture is not bad at all

native is the best, these dlss/fsr are utterly trash

DLSS AND FSR are a scam, buy a GPU first and than a monitor with the right framerates for your games. play native everything else is a scam!

DLSS looks awful compared to native; you gotta be blind to think otherwise. This is a very clear (or blurry) example of the old fable "The Emperor's New Clothes".

If going for performance instead of using DLSS/FSR to downscale and enhance how about lowering the resolution and upping the settings?

Anyone know where Shadow of The Tomb raider would probably fall into? Been trying to figure out how to best achieve a consistent 60fps at 4K, I have everything maxed with AA at SMAAT2x. It is consistent about 80% of the time, but when it slows it sort of sucks (by the way I don't have a monitor i use my TCL75Q825 so gsync and all that other fancy stuff is not an option, I always use regular vertical sync). If I set the internal resolution scaler to about 85% it will be basically perfect, but I was wondering with this game I'd be just better off with DLSS set to Quality mode.

Developers should just replace the DLL is the most irresponsible statement I've ever seen this channel make. You don't 'just replace a dll' as that marries you to whatever problems that might create that you don't know about - given you haven't done the testing or QA to know it's not going to cause a problem - anyone who has ever programmed would tell you that's a asinine statement to make for a commercial product even if it's only a game. Yeah it might work, it also might not - it also can introduce massive bugs into the system due to a namespace conflict or other odd thing because you didn't test it - in the realm of tossing a turbo on your car engine - you can do it but it will void your warranty. Unreal.

yall be looking way too much into this stuff... just play the game brother

DLSS sucks . Its fake phoney fraud upscalling for 1080p frame rates.

FSR3 vs DLSS 3.5 gonna be hard to compare tbh.

Straight up depends on the individual game and implementation as well as your monitor size and resolution. It works better with 4K almost universally. I use a 32" 1440p display and it has wonderful image quality with DLDSR/DLAA but really hit or miss with DLSS. In some titles DLSS is absolutely awful. In others it's magic. Darktide has the best DLSS I've seen so far. Literally the best available AA solution in the game.

"What is clear, though, is that native rendering is superior to using the 4K Performance DLSS mode, and this is why we typically don't recommend using it."

Doesn't seem like a very meaningful recommendation, though. If a person wants to use DLSS for the IQ benefits it can bring, they're only going to go with Performance because the better modes still result in unacceptably low FPS. The remaining choice is then whether 4K Performance is preferable to whatever Native resolution would match that FPS, probably in the 1080-1440 range.

For me, even on my RTX 4090, DLSS Quality is always worth it over native, since it's basically a wash in terms of which gives a better image overall (DLSS usually has better anti-aliasing and less shimmering, while native is a little sharper), but the performance boost is huge, letting me play at 4K 120FPS in many games. I'd also argue that at 4K sharpness matters less since its still very sharp either way and you'll struggle to see the difference at normal viewing distances, so I'd rather have less flickering and aliasing than sharpness, along with the performance boost.

The fact that it's even a debate at all about which has a better picture basically means an automatic win for DLSS since it gives you significantly better performance.

Maybe i am blind but for me i see no difference between DLSS and native. However when i use FSR2.0 it gets so pixelated i can barely game

Thank full to Nvidia for dlss,only reason i can still use my 2060 super on 4k.they fucked up big on 4000 series but its their own greed not dlss.

I'm new to this all upscalling stuff, but how come CPU limits performance with DLSS? Isn't it done on the separate GPU... modules?

Dlss 4k is better than native 4k.that my very own experience

No cyberpunk? Cancel vídeo please.

not enough different to invest to some technology. withou info about FPS useless

I would love if you tested DLSS balanced also. Would be nice to know whether it would be a good tradeoff or whether it in general is something to be avoided.

Native is testing with TAA…. So its not native… I understand why with how hair is rendered now in games but its not native, true native would beat all of these

Please do this with Diablo 4

any game that come with dlss 2.0 or above
i just mod it to 3.1.14 and open it to quality mod with 59fps lock g sync on

It make my 4090 consume below 150w while retain 90% in game image quality compare to native which will consume around 200+

A lot of the shimmering you might find in DLSS is actually because the sharpness filter setting is usually set too high. You can actually get rid of, or dramatically reduce that shimmering effect in God of War by turning off all the sharpening.

Curious how dlss/fsr compares to tv built in upscaling

that's why i use DLAA. But since i have 1080p with an rtx 4090 (I'm waiting for an 4k qdoled 34 inch monitor). I usually turn on dldsr. Like in cyberpunk i play at 1440p, dlaa turned on too, with frame gen but not dlss and path tracing for 70 fps avg. But i cap it at 60 to keep it smooth

I don't know what parameter he used to define that native rdr2 is better, every comparison you see out there clearly shows that dlss is better, this for me compromised the whole study

Update this video because dlss 2.5.1 is Superior version

Does anyone else just hate the look for AA in games? I find it uncomfortable to look at for comp shooters.

RDR2's DLSS image quality is clearly superior to native tbh. TAA is just bad there.

Considering DLSS is objectively rendering at lower resolution then attempting to upscale to native, it doesn't even make sense for it to ever be better than native.

Rain looks really bad with DLSS in Hitman

you should make comparison with radeon native mode too...

Only thing I see here is how fucking great FSR is, and that it does not need meme hardware to actually just work.
