Part of the known issues list on the GeForce forums it seems. https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/1098097/geforce-drivers/official-418-91-game-ready-whql-display-driver-feedback-thread-released-2-13-19-/ PDF has several of these too but the forum topic tends to have more extensive info, TDR info on Win7 is noted in the PDF as one example whereas from this it's also revealed to affect Windows 8.1 and started with the 418.81 drivers. And APEX Legends right above that entry with a DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG error and crash.
Well, Bugger. BFV on dx12 is stutter like a pig right now so could be drivers or the new update. Will try a roll back, Its not like I wanted ray tracing in metro anyway......

Metro Exodus looks even worse with DLSS, hahaha, what a fail..On the other hand, RT(Alone) looks beautiful. Metro Exodus DLSS & real-time ray tracing RTX first performance impressions + comparison screenshots
With dlss on the softness make it look like a YT video or a pre rendered cutscene. It looks oddly video like / Cinematic. I mean, Balls to playing with dlss on but its a weird effect in still images. God I hope someone understands what I mean or i sound mad. ๐Ÿ˜•

Managed to test DLSS in BF V..Absolute garbage. DLSS On: https://i.imgur.com/EbBEk0n.jpg DLSS Off: https://i.imgur.com/Sk4qJsJ.jpg
Without knowing with you're doing with a static compressed image????

It's why you generally don't compare static compressed images when comparing AA methods or comparing AA to no AA and we have no idea of the setting used.

No compression. What you see in those images is what i was seeing..

I mean, considering that DLSS ON runs only around 900p, I would say it dosen't look half bad, even better if DLSS OFF shot doesn't use TAA Those Metro shots are too blurry even for my standards through.

The blur that DLSS introduces in those images above is a NO GO! I expected more from this feature..!

I dont understand, doesnt this DLSS make it sharper? , https://developer.nvidia.com/rtx/ngx .
There is an obvious bug in the current implementation, or in that page they switched the screens by mistake ...

Can we have some 4k not 1440p images ?? Never expected to use DLSS on anything besides 4k tbh. What does it upscale 1440p option from ?? 720 ?? 900 or 1080p ??
data/avatar/default/avatar09.webp
Havent run 1440p much on my 4k monitor, but dying light 1440p with high settings looked much better than this. My impression DLSS is still early tech with issues.. And people with the overpriced rtx cards are testers. Tech has potential, tho a more open source solution would be ideal for us consumers i hope this tech will mature and make 4k more mainstream. It seems true 4k gpus isnt nearby. Maybe rtx2080ti is close, but is it really a true 4k gpu? I know it is a great card, with a absurd pricetag.. But it seems to be my only option when its time for my next upgrade, hope prices will drop a bit more this year. Or maybe ill wait for next en gpu if its worth it and they arent to far away since i wanna upgrade this year...

There seems to be a problem with DLSS and the game/this driver. I got a crash to desktop after a round ended while using DLSS and now my game will not load. Event viewer spits out a bunch of the following: The description for Event ID 13 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: \Device\Video3 Graphics SM Warp Exception on (GPC 0, TPC 1, SM 0): TEX FORMAT Errors The message resource is present but the message was not found in the message table After looking at the official forums I found quite a few posts relating to the same thing. Seems like DLSS and/or the driver is bugged. To fix the issue you need to disable DLSS.. by deleting your profiles folder (resetting settings) :/ https://forums.battlefield.com/en-us/discussion/180458/dlss-on-crash-to-desktop Might want to wait for a hotfix driver or something before using DLSS.. or at the very least make backups of your settings folder for BF5 in case you need to revert.
