So you can use DLSS without an RTX card.. WOW

[Uhzu]

Just booted the game up with my GTX 1660 super and I now have DLSS. ghosting and artifacts is gone and the game runs better and looks way better too. Playing at 1440p max settings with DLSS balanced with 60-50 inside the city. Great work CDPR. You've made cyberpunk truly amazing game. Thought it was only for RTX cards but here we are. lol

It's because the 1660 Super is based on a Turing generation GPU core with disabled RT cores, yet retains Tensor core functionality.

IIRC it is the only 1000 series GPU that supports DLSS natively.

Edit: after going to look it up to see if I did recall correctly, nope, I'm wrong.
While it is based on a Turing architecture, both RT and Tensor cores should be disabled for it.

Interesting then if it's actually functioning.

Interesting, cause this is the first game that let me use DLSS. Before this update it was blacked out and I was stuck with FSR. It's weird they allow it now. I'm not complaining just seems weird to me is all. So if I had card like 1070 it would still be blacked out?

Yeah, I was remembering incorrectly what was enabled or disabled on that GPU and made an edit to my post to reflect that.
Technically it shouldn't be available to use with that model.

Curious as to why it's showing as an option for you now.

Yeah that's what I thought. I don't seem to be having issues running it. No graphical bugs or anything. It's completely gotten rid of ghosting behind my car driving in third person. If you need a screenshot I can prove it. This is wild.

It's almost as if DLSS is artificially limited to sell new and expensive cards.

Yeah, the fact that I'm running it without RTX card just shows that it actually doesn't need an RTX card to work. Talk about a load of ♥♥♥♥.

Yeah, I'm intrigued. Post a screencap of the benchmark results screen if you don't mind.

I read about people getting the option to show up in other games, but it didn't actually do anything as since the update to dlss2.0 it functions on Tensor as it's supposed to and not shaders like DLSS 1.x did.

alright give me a second

here you go proof with it on my GTX 1660 super https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3110986926

And results with it off are lower? So it's actually functioning somehow and not just a settings bug that does nothing?
Huh...very interesting, now I want to know why.
But hey, free win for you if it's for some reason working as intended, kudos!

Yeah, I have worse performance with it off. it sits at 30-40 off. It's actually working on my card and I can see the difference right off the bat when I turn it on. This has blown my mind lmao

Because Nvidia lies. The only reason GTX 1000 series can't use DLSS is because they wanted people to buy the 2000 series despite having a perfectly fine graphic card already.
Exactly the same reason 3.0 framegen is limited to 4000 cards. Nothing technical at all, just milking their costumers.

I'm gonna bug someone I know that works in rendering and rather low level with NV GPUs and software, and pick their brain about it.

Alright, I can't heads or tails of this. Seems to mean they've been lying to us the hole time about DLSS.
