Upgrade your DLSS version to 3.8.10!

[Aaronsito]

Hi there! For all STALKERS with RTX 2000 series GPUs or newer, update Nvidia's DLSS to version 3.8.10. It improves performance and visual quality, not a massive difference, but it can help enhance your visual experience a bit.

The "DLSS Swapper" program will help you swap to the version you want. If you need help, let me know! Good luck!

Does this remove the obnoxious blur that's visible on all upscaling types?

[Aaronsito]

A little, but I'm not sure if it's enough for you to like it.

I'll send you my guide in case you're interested.

I'll have a look. This is the only possible solution I could think of after trying everything. TL;DR my review says it all. Game looks ass without upscaling (there's no native AA and its over sharpened to hell) with upscaling on it just makes me want to puke.

[Aaronsito]

You can lower the sharpness to 0, but yes, it's still quite exaggerated. Maybe it could be fixed with some shader? Try the DLSS version 3.8.10, hopefully it works better for you.

I tried with sharpness 0, same result. Ironically 100% sharpness actually drowns out the blur a bit with upscaling on though that has its own problems. No default AA without upscaling is absolutely wild.

[Aaronsito]

bruh, what a shame. I guess the best thing would be to look for information about it, a guide on Steam, Reddit, YouTube, etc. If by any chance I find out something, I'll message you here.

Perfect! How did you achieve that? Did you use any reshade or something, or just tweaking the .ini file?

Why would you need a program? Just drag & drop the files & replace them.

That's just a comparison with / without upscaling enabled. The game without upscaling looks exactly like that. No reshade no edits. Nothing.

I never said that you absolutely need the program, I just said it helps in the process. There are several ways to update DLSS, and one of them is like you said, it's more intuitive with an interface, and you can see all the games that have DLSS and their version. It's just another way of doing it.

Why do I see a horrible mesh (grid) in rainy weather when I turn on DLSS and when I rotate the camera?

I see, has this happened to you before or after updating DLSS? That bug you're experiencing doesn't happen to me; I'm on the latest version, 3.8.10.
