DLSS beta performance
The DLSS beta patch has made the game actually playable for me again. When the game first came out, it was playable for me at around a steady 50 fps on medium settings but after the last few patches the frame drops and stuttering got so bad it became literally unplayable even on all low settings. With this beta DLSS patch i'm up to a smooth 70 fps on medium. Anyone else have extreme performance drops and notice a significant improvement with this beta patch?

Switch to the beta branch, DLSS and frame generation are available along with some quest and bug fixes and the ability to eat food directly from in-game

Tried it, now hitting 120 FPS but the game constantly started crashing, never did before :(

Make sure VSync is off, and also select DLSS, not FSR. That's usually it. The DLSS options should be greyed out/unchangeable if DLSS isn't selected.

I have been running it and it has not given me any problems I guess giving the number of people playing it the law of averages says some one will

I agree with the majority on this one, with Beta its like i'm playing an entirely different game, everything is crisper and smoother and yet my hardware doesn't seem to be trying so hard anymore. Kudos Bethesda!

beta testing the work that should have been done before release.
lots of games do this now, while it's true you need real world tests, given the FPS numbers on release it's as if they did no testing or optimisation (as they say) at all. Or maybe they did, but only for a certain brand of consoles.
DLAA, Ultra Quality, and Quality options literally don't work.

If you select any of those, get back into the game, go back into the settings they are switched to ultra performance or balanced modes.

Embarrassing on their part

Thanks, had it all enabled but turning things off/on again seems to have resolved it. No crash for 30 minutes :)

It's just a visual bug in the menu. The setting you choose is applied properly. You can verify by changing it to performance or ultra performance. With DLAA I average around 75fps in New Atlantis by the lodge and with DLSS ultra performance I average around 140fps (CPU limited)

I didnt notice any fps changes when i tried each setting. Do we mess around with the res scale up the top of the menu as well? I thought DLSS literally did that for us in the first place?

What is your hardware?

And does the game still stutter?

No, if you're not seeing a performance improvement from enabling DLSS then you're most likely CPU bound. DLSS doesn't help if that's the case.
