What Sharpness level is best for DLSS Quality?

[Adeptus Lebowski]

I feel like max which is 1, is a bit too grainy if you know what i mean.

Best setting is FSR 2.1
King of all scaling.

Sure, if you like ghosting and lighting issues all the time?

You adjust it to your eye. There is no set %
I have seen recommendations from 0 to 100 but my perfect setting is 35 sharpness.

I started the game today and everything looked extremely grainy....Switched off film grain in the Settings and all seems well. I use GeForce Experience to optimize settings, but it always takes NVidia a couple of tries to get their Game Ready drivers, well, ready/.

I set it to 0. Then in inject AMD CAS with ReShade.

But, you should disable ReShade's depth buffer access in the ReShade OSD or it might crash the game ("Add-on's" menu --> un-check the "Generic Depth" box)... Just use ReShade for AMD Contrast Adaptive Sharpening.

With DLSS Quality at 1440p, CAS level 0.575 for "Contrast Adaption" and 1 for "Intensity Level" looks best to me compared to the native TAA and native resolution; but change as you want.

FSR 2.1 is king . Nvidia doesn't even do gaming anymore.
FSR 3 is the future for all

"FSR 2.1 is king" worst on market screen scalling - Starfield proof that! with DLSS mod Starfield is playable with FPS is garbage!

Yeah i tried FSR and it looked way worse lol. I mean I could just spend 2000 euros on a 4090 and problem solved but i don't feel crazy enough right now...

no..You are not adding anything to the image ..You are simply sampling data from prior frames to add more frames. You cannot add what never existed in the first place. Hence super sampling.

I'm afraid you are wrong on this. DLSS is not simply a super sampler like FSR and it literally does add detail, and this is a technical fact of the technology. DLSS, when it is implemented well, produces better image quality than native resolutions. You can watch Digital Foundry's deep dive into DLSS to examine the evidence yourself.

almost free supersampling my frined.

1440p native resolution with DXR2.25x enables you to select 2840x2160 resolution in game (4K). In game select DLSS quality. This is 1440p render, same as native res. DXR2.25x upconverts a 1440p image up to 4K using tensor cores & DLSS quality at 4K down-converts it back to 1440p also using tensor cores. Final image is supersampled. This pretty much gets rid of TAA blur and even brings out more detail in fine small things such as foliage and tree leafs and increases fine detail in distance. And gets rid of all aliasing. Apply a tiny bit of sharpening and you got yourself a final image at almost 4K quality on a 27" 1440p monitor for like a 10-15 FPS hit. kind of like increasing PPI. It's the best way to increase image quality on 1440p monitor if you have a small amount of FPS to spare.

Edit:
you can even increase image quality on 1440p while using quality DLSS. Use DXR 2.25, select 4k in game and DLSS performance, this gives you 1080p render vs 960p render of 1440p quality. and you get a nicer image for a small FPS hit.

Edit 2: also "You cannot add what never existed in the first place" true, but it doesn't just stretch the image out to a bigger size, it actually predicts what the image would look like at a higher resolution, and puts it thru a whole bunch of algorithms/filters/sharpening effects and displays an image that looks a-lot better than the internal render resolution. So in theory it does actually add something that never existed. Otherwise there would be no point to DLSS and you could just lower the resolution in game and call it a day.

straight up DLSS does not look better than native resolution, but you can use DLSS in a way that improves the quality of native resolution.

You're spot-on with everything you've said in this thread. I love it when someone can clearly elucidate the rationale for their argument/opinion!

[valium]

Having it too sharp makes it unpleasant to look at, too low makes it too blurry.

.5 really is the best of both worlds.

[Tripitaka]

I believe geforce experience sets it 0.6 so that's the 'default'.

If you are using a Nvidia card, you could try to modify the Antialisasing - Transparency option in the control panel to 2X. It can help for the smoke.
