DLSS doesn't do anything??
Just decided to try this game again now they have implemented official DLSS. But it doesnt seem to make any difference when I use it.

This applies to any level of the DLSS but if I use the most intensive DLSS quality setting then I will see my frames dip down by around 15. But any of the other settings literally make 0 difference.

Im using a 4070 laptop with an AMD 7840hs

the game run at 60 fps all max

If you are CPU bound it won't do anything.

Right, these resolution scaling technologies are for when you are GPU bound. I didn't get this game for a month cause I have an RX 5700XT and didn't think it would run well. To my surprise it runs fine on ultra. Likely cause FSR2 is rendering at like 1080p and up-scaling it to 2k.

Uh, it most certainly does something.

Sure, if you have a 60fps cap I guess.

And if he's cpu bound he can use frramegen and almost double his fps. That's if there enough gpu power left.

The framegen part is useless, it will look smoother but it doesn't lower input lag, it'll still feel bad when moving around.

Yeah, if all it has to do is 1080p Starfield can run on most anything. I've been running it on a 5500XT. No sense upscaling since that's all the pixels my monitor can take anyway.

Useless is a stretch I get about 190fps with a 4080 at 1440p, and no, it doesn't feel bad moving around. If it did, I wouldn't use it. What is your GPU?

Turn off V-Sync :steamthumbsup:

I get anywhere from 90 to 160 at 4k DLAA (100% rendering scale) and frame gen; comparatively, with it all turned off (still at ultra settings), I get 50-90. Definitely not useless.

thats wrong, DLSS actually does help still even with lower end chips, I am running a RTX 3070 on a Ryzen 7 2700x, my CPU is maybe a 20% bottleneck for this card and I still see a huge difference with DLSS on in games that have it

That's because the base frame rate before the frame gen is already high.

Which ... is how you're supposed to use frame gen. It's not for if your only getting say 45fps, to get 90, That's straight from Nvidia too. You want a base frame rate of at least 60fps ideally.

It's giving me about 10-15 more FPS.

dlss doesn't give better performance than FSR, it never did as thier quality presets use the same resoultion scale presets. The thing that DLSS does way better is the final image quality.
