EA and DICE have added DLSS support for Battlefield V. Combined with a new 418.91 driver from NVIDIA we check out the benefits and disadvantages of what is called AI AA in this small first update with Battlefield V.

Great job adding the comparisons!
DLSS is definitely more blurry, look at the vegetation and the trees. so blurry for a 4K output....
also the vehicle on fire is far more detailed with native 4K

What about 3440x1440? Is it supported?

thanks Hilbert !
About DLSS, it's not just blurry, it's just has much less details, so of-course the FPS gonna improve, looks like on simple surfaces DLSS can do OK, but on very complicated objects/textured DLSS can't be useful, the affect is just too bad, SRY NV fans :-(.

For what it is I'm surprisingly impressed.
Better article then the previous one.

I have an aw3418dw and msi 2080 gaming x trio.

It works on 3440x1440, but the image qualitiy loss doesnt worth it. I do prefer play with dlss+rtx off.

@Hilbert Hagedoorn : Can we get screenshot with DLSS-ON and "resolution scale" high enough to decrease fps to match DLSS-OFF screenshot?
(So, we can compare IQ at equal fps.)
= = = =

Side note, not allowing DLSS on 4K for weaker cards is like saying: "Pay Extra!"

Limiting DLSS on different cards per resolution is intentional and disgusting. I agree with Fox, it is like saying pay more.

After such a heavily marketed feature at the end is another useless one.

Little Joke time

.
How would Thanos looked like if he was Renderd with DLSS ON ?

I think I expressed accurately the DLSS effect on quality- am I right?

DLSS turns him from intimidating and angry into elderly man with expression showing trouble to understand something in front of him.

It is absolutely illogical why i can't use dlss on 1440p on my 2080ti. Geforce experience says it should be on, but it becomes greyed out in game.

Another thing no one ever mentioned...with ray tracing on, i get severe mouse lag.
Anyone else?

Hilbert, I'd very much like to see the following:

A comparison between DLSS on/DLSS off/75% resolution scaling at the same resolution/75% resolution scaling at the same resolution on a Radeon VII.

I think that would make for a very interesting comparison.

Blury mess, with missing detail, looks terrible.

The upscaling from 1440p to 2160p hits the performance in 10 fps, from 65 to 55... so now I'm interested in seeing the differences between 1440p and DLSS-2160p, triying to find where to blame Nvidia :p

Btw, great work Hilbert, I like the sliders a lot, another toy to lose time with.

Enabling DLSS only for 4k resolutions makes no sense, obviously...but perhaps it looks a lot less blurry @ 4k--that would be my guess here. Restricting its use is certainly is no oversight. Ah, yes, the nVidia I remember so well is back! Pulling image-quality tricks, deceits, and sleights of hand, once again...! It's Back to the Future, alright....

It's indeed gratifying to know that when blurriness increases so does frame-rate--even if the Tensor cores kill the frame-rate by nearly half. (That in itself is weird from nVidia, because the company has traditionally been all about benchmarked frame rates and very little else--fought for years against FSAA until they learned how to do it in hardware, etc.)

The one thing I didn't really understand here is the difference in the comparative screen shots--the DLSS On shots show vegetation close up, while the DLSS Off screens put the vegetation in the far distance and obscured by fog. Scratching my head on that one...?
