Some games genuinely look better with DLSS@1080p than native 1080p with FXAA or TAA such as RDR2 and Rust.
I think that’s less to do with how good DLSS is and more to do with how god awful FXAA is and how badly implemented TAA is in like 99% of games where upscaling from 720p or 900p with AI looks better than Native 1080p with a fancy post processing filter.
I miss MSAA despite how performance heavy it was. Was great for lighter games and revisiting older titles. SMAA is hardly used, and I’ve only seen one game use DLAA.
Also if we want to be real then by “native 1080p” you mean no AA as god intended…

This. Upscalers will never give better quality than native resolution.

Dlss quality I can’t tell the difference at all. Other than the better frame rate

At 4K, the upscalers look pretty damn good and sometimes better than native TAA solutions.
I think 4k is the best case scenario for them.

As someone that’s used upscaled 4k quite a bit, it is way better than native 1080p. My graphics card can’t handle 4k very well but with upscaling it looks way better than 1080p max settings native on the games I play.

Personally, I refuse to use any antialiasing whatsoever. The GPU, in its wisdom, decided those pixels were *supposed* to be there, damnit, and I’m not gonna let any kinda “edge detection” algorithm foul up my unspoiled jaggy edges! It’s not natural. And don’t get me started on that bastard, anisotropic filtering, either! Distant oblique surfaces are SUPPOSED to have a natural moiré pattern, and anything else is just making them a blurry, distorted mess! #nofilter /s
Raster graphics (and ray tracing) have had “sweetening” and smoothing effects applied to them since the N64 was shiny and new. I just see stuff like DLSS as another in a long line of ways to get better-looking pixels to the screen.

Using the meme backwards… so refreshing…

I’ll always prefer native resolutions and rendering.
I can appreciate the work that went into making the AI upscale but it’s just… not right. It always looks so strange.

You’re using the meme wrong which tells me you didn’t watch the movie. Second. DLSS says “AI” but it’s the old definition and not the shit people call “AI” now. DLSS when properly done looks better than native but honestly it pretty much always looks better than shitty 1080p

You prefer 1080p native to 4k dlss performance (1080p upscaled to 4k) ?

I’ll take the frame rate hit for native resolution, thank you.

just think of it as anti aliasing, not upscaling. it’s like backwards MSAA (USAA) but way more performant (beyond 2ms).

What kind of shitpost is this?

Yeah I prefer crisp, clear, and not overly detailed. Being hugely detailed but so blurred by down-rezing and upscaling you can’t focus on anything except what’s right in front of you kills the whole point of it being hugely detailed
