Is DLSS only for 4K?

DLSS 2.0 offers 4x resolution, allowing you to render games at 1080p while outputting them at 4K. More traditional super-resolution techniques can lead to artifacts and bugs in the eventual picture, but DLSS is designed to work with those errors to generate an even better-looking image.

Do you need a 4K monitor for DLSS?

DLSS also works for downscaling. Say you have a high speed 1080p gaming monitor. You can run games at 4K and DLSS technology will auto adjust the 3840 x 2160 render to a 1920 x 1080 output.

Can you use DLSS for 1080p?

Its just what it is. Saying DLSS doesn't work for 1080p, is like saying a lower resolution image has less clarity than a higher resolution...Duh. And in some instances, on certain textures or objects, the DLSS image can be reconstructed better than the actual native resolution image.

Does DLSS upscale 1080p 4K?

For example, with DLSS, a game's frames could be rendered at 1080p resolution, making higher framerates more attainable, then upscaled and output at 4K resolution, bringing sharper image quality over 1080p.

Can you use DLSS at 1440p?

You can but it gives maximum impact on your FPS. I will try and find a review that showed the latest DLSS could result in a sharper image than no DLSS. That would be a good read. My concern was that image quality might suffer with DLSS on compared to the original.

Is DLSS ray tracing?

Ray tracing is all about enhancing the visual reality of a scene using computationally intensive algorithms on specific blocks of silicon, where Deep Learning Super Sampling is purely about using other blocks of silicon to speed up performance while making a scene look almost as good as normal.

Is 1440p better than upscaled 4K?

Splendid. I would not recommend 1440p with a 4k monitor. If you need to drop the resolution, back down to 1080p. Since 4k is exactly 4 times the resolution as 1080p your picture will not look distorted.

What's the best DLSS setting?

By turning DLSS on, under the hood the game will run at a lower internal resolution and will then be upscaled to your desired resolution. DLSS is best used at higher resolutions, like 1440p and 4K, which are particularly expensive, especially when you want to run at framerates higher than 60 frames per second.

Does DLSS look better than native?

As such, DLSS can look sharper than native 4K, whereas FSR can look almost as good as native 4K. NVIDIA DLSS appears to be sharper than AMD FSR, and performed a bit better on our RTX3080. However, we did notice some weird artifacts with DLSS (that weren't present in both native resolution and FSR).

Should I use DLSS on cod?

For any supported game, I can only recommend enabling DLSS. You either want to gain more performance in the form of more FPS as a competitive gamer or gain higher resolution with the same number of FPS as a casual gamer. In both cases, DLSS is the right measure.
