Has anyone else found ways to somehow optimize the game and swap the dlss file to the version 2.3-2.3.2?

DLSS reduces the load on the GPU not on the CPU, it won't do s**t.

you should also add on the screen where you enable hardware accelerated gpu to scroll down and add the battlefield 2042exe and make it high performance

so sad that people need to find away to get game running smooth in 2021 when the company who made the game are too lazy or unprofessionals to optimize it themselkvs

I completely agree :(

Try turning OFF the Texture Filters in Nvidia Control Panel (NVCP), this improved my performance (quality looks better too obviously). Also, in-game TAA can look blurry so you can overide this in NVCP. Also maxing all the other NVCP settings for maximum quality will make the game quality look better (FXAA okay but MFAA is Temporal based like the in-game TAA so I don't use MFAA).

i turned off virtually EVERYTHING in nvidia control panel lol.

Well that optimisation guide looks a little bit dodgy. It'll take time to perfect the game, including analysing all the different players PC configurations, and Nvidia will update the GeForce driver too. All I can think is "welcome to AAA PC gaming", EA made CRYSIS too and that was a lot worse to get running well.

lol. In NVCP under Program Settings/Battlefield 2042 I use:
Anisotropic filtering @ 16x
Antialiasing - FXAA @ ON
Antialiasing - Gamma Correction @ ON
Antialiasing - Mode @ Override any application setting
Antialiasing - Setting @ 8x
Antialiasing - Transparency @ 8x (supersample)
Low Latency Mode @ Ultra
Max Frame Rate @ 60
Multi-Frame Sampled AA (MFAA) @ OFF
Power management mode @ Prefer maximum performance
Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimisation @ OFF
Texture Filtering - Negative LOD bias @ Clamp
Texture Filtering - Quality @ High quality
Texture Filtering - Trilinear optimisation @ OFF
Threaded Optimisation @ ON
Tripple Buffering @ OFF
V-Sync @ OFF
That's all my GTX 980 ti can offer in NVCP, it runs in-game Ultra settings at 1920x1080 60Hz @ 85-95% average usage with a 1304Mhz OC (I don't use in-game V-Sync or Future Frame Rendering either because they both cause latency).

my gtx 980ti died last year. Such a beast of a card i was gona buy another one buy they're just too much now.

oh man that's sad. Well I got mine 2nd hand in excellent condition nearly 2 months ago and since the 2nd price has gone up another 20% at least

Interestingly, by the way, speaking of the drivers, 496.76 has become on a level with 496.13, while with the addition of NIS, I think this can increase the FPS even better.
I also noticed that enabling dx12 in the config and adding settings to Exploit Protection removes sluttering. I am currently studying the effect of shadow settings and DLSS interaction with anti-aliasing.

By the way, I don't advise using Low Latency Mode at ultra, the only thing that this setting does is that it keeps the maximum frequency of the video card, which is sometimes poorly perceived by the game. Texture Filtering - Anisotropic sample optimization I would leave enabled, since the game runs on DX12 this will help it to process better. Texture Filtering - Trilinear optimization is best enabled as it improves performance without losing quality.
Threaded Optimization @ ON ohh, it's better to put on Auto, I found many articles where on some systems the FPS drops sharply and on others nothing changes.

Thanks man I'll try that. Just I noticed turning OFF Texture Optimisations improved performance as well as quality in this game
