the option of DLSS enablement will differ per RTX graphics card. In some resolutions, DLSS could be enabled, in others not. So after swapping out a few cards, we noticed more weirdness. Different Geforce RTX cards differ in DLSS OFF/ON per resolution.

In the last try, I enabled Ultra HD as a resolution, and boom DLSS became active. We logged into the game, set 2560x1440 to do some baseline benchmarking, and again. With that happening I decided to move towards the new graphics test platform based on a Core i9 9900K / Windows 10 all updated and the latest NVIDIA drivers. Once I popped in the RTX 2080 Ti I immediately got confused, the DLSS settings where greyed out:

That 'trick' would boost Raytraced game performance as you are no longer running traditional AA over the shader engine. It promised higher framerates, as TAA gets disabled, and the DLSS AA is running over the Tensor cores, offloading the shader engine. Yesterday when the game update was patched we immediately wanted to try out DLSS. In this first update, we'll have a quick peek at what is going on, something I only can describe as a bit of a mess. Yesterday both NVIDIA and DICE updated their driver and patched the game to bring DLSS support. Basically, DLSS is supersampling from a lower resolution upwards in a more intelligent way. DLSS is working in the game, but the output is a bit blurry. In Battlefield V it is way more visually apparent, but at the cost of your preciously rendered framerates. Yesterday you've been able to see Metro: Redux, where Raytracing is applied, but 9 out of 10 times very hard to spot. Getting RTX (DX-Raytracing) and DLSS supported in games has been a challenge. Most of you know about it, some will just have heard of it. NVIDIA is able to utilize these AI cores for a Supersampled Anti Aliasing technology called DLSS. An added benefit of GeForce RTX cards is that they have Tensor cores, look at it as a co-processor designed for specific AI workloads. It's been a rough ride for NVIDIA, launching GeForce RTX cards offering Raytracing, which everybody likes aside from the price premium. Battlefield V - PC graphics performance reviewĮA and DICE have added DLSS support, we check out the benefits and disadvantages of AI AA in this small update with Battlefield V.
