DLSS in AW2 trashers Rain effects. And has noticeable ghosting, especially when you activate Ray Reconstruction.
So what are you using instead? FSR?
Agreed on the game being spectacular looking. With regards to RT, even if you have RT disabled in the option, the renderer does its own software RT for GI. This makes the game look amazing even in RT disabled mode.
DF says that native rez FSR is busted at the moment. I would expect they'll patch it soon, but the issues are a bug with the implementation, not something inherent to native rez FSR2.
I'm sorry if I sound harsh. But these reasonings are retarded.
Well, is someone pointing a gun in your head forcing you to use DLSS? I don't get it. DLSS is provided as-an-option. Period. You can choose to use it or ignore it. If you don't like 1080p image with DLSS, run it at 540p native. It's your choice. No technology is perfect.
Crysis looked great on high settings and above, but medium and low looked worse than FarCry on max and was significantly more demanding. Granted Crysis on max settings with DX10 was lightyears ahead of anything else and that lasted for a few years. In Crysis you were mostly stuck on a mix of medium and low to get 40ish fps unless you had a 8800 series card and the 8800 series cards were about the same price as 4080 and 4090 when you inflation adjust. Alan wake 2 at least looks good on older hardware, but don't think it scales that well frame rate wise.
Your alternative is DLAA or FSR as there is no menu option for turning them off. Afaik FSR native is broken so you basically need to start config editing if you want to run native res without an Nvidia card.
DLSS Quality is passable on a 1440p monitor, but native is certainly better. Wonder if a lot of the people that can't see the difference spent all their money on GPU to run the game at max on a small monitor with so so picture quality rather than get a good medium or large size monitor with good picture quality and colors.
No DLSS critique allowed? They clearly stated their issues while using it. Why are you trying to discredit their analyses?
What analysis? I am all for critique and constructive opinion. All I saw was whine and stupid reasoning.
A sweeping generalization. I've seen DLSS providing better image quality than native (due to poor TAA implementation) and I've also seen DLSS providing worse image quality compared to native. There are various factors where AA and/or scaling contribute to image quality.
I have a 27-inch 1080p 240hz monitor from Monoprice Dark Matter ( an IPS-like AHVA panel, made by KTC. Gets really bright in SDR and HDR. I believe Tom's tested it at over 500nits. Contrast is notably higher than most IPS, as well) and a 1440p 75hz Asus ProArt monitor. And my hardware is good enough, I don't generally need to use upscaling. If something runs poorly at 1440p, I will simply play it on the 1080p monitor. And actually, I like look of that 1080p monitor so much, I use it often, anyway. Great contrast and minimal glow.
I don't consider my comments to be whining and non-constructive
Ruining rain effects is an old problem for DLSS, which I first observed in Death Stranding. And that game I prefer to play simply with the FXAA setting. No DLSS and no Fidelity FX CAS.
Eh, excuse me? I didn't quote you which means I wan't talking to you.
You responded to someone whom was responding to a response, to me. Heheh.
Ah.. sorry if I was giving you a wrong impression.
I have yet to see it look better than native and I have played quite a few games with DLSS support, but only used it in Cyberpunk and Control as it was needed to get a smooth experience with RT on. DLAA on the other hand is a really nice feature.
I had a pair of 8800 GTX I bought to play Crysis, the flagship card at the time, which cost $1,600 in 2023 money (only $100 less than my RTX 4090). I had no issue lowering graphic settings to get to 75 Hz on my 1600x1200 monitor.
A pair of 8800 GTX would be about $1900-$2000 in todays money while the a single ultra would be $1250-$1300 range.
thanks, tips.
I kinda just pulled that number from an orifice tbh lol . I didn't recall cards being that pricey back then. I think I was running an HD3870 or maybe it was a 4870 at the time (I did have both), which were nowhere near that price iirc. I remember it running pretty well for the most part at 1280x1024, but I also remember the perf going to shit once you got to the aircraft carrier.
Turning off the lense distortion effect via the .ini config file, is the single biggest improvement for visual clarity.
bettter fps ?
That might be my biggest gripe. It's hard to say. I didn't encounter one until the second time Saga and Casey go to the crime scene.
what is bugcheck? bsod? Also when official driver
Bug Check is the official name for a BSOD, yes. The hotfix driver is an official driver. If you mean a "Game Ready" driver, it will release whenever the next one is scheduled to be released.
A ok thx.
whether you agree with his take or not at least it's mildly amusing.
