Upscale mode

[klaud]

First of all i have zero knowledge of these tech stuffs or graphic setting things, so im sorry if this is a dumb question.
I have a question is it safe to switch the upscale mode from balance to native nvidia dlaa?
Because idk why but after i switch to native nvidia dlaa my game runs smoother no fps drop on any base camp where there are lot of npcs walking arround (especially windward plains).

das weird cuz it should be a performance drop when u go from dlss balanced into nvidia dlaa

Yes. It is safe.

The upscaling can go faulty under certain circumstances. There is an observation report if activated with certain settings on, it actually looks worse than native. It depends entirely on the individual PC setup.

Oh really? Damn that makes me scared to change it maybe i switch back to balance later.

Yea the reason i asked is because so far i have zero crashes and im scared that if i change it im more likely to experience crash, but if it safe then i prefer to keep on the native nvida dlaa.

Yes, it is safe. No worries about that.

if OP is playing at 1080p it wouldn't be as extreme as if you were on 2 or 4k. If DLSS is borked from a driver update, or just specifically with this game for some reason or another, would also explain why solves their frame drops too.

Native resolution rendering is always the best, if you can actually run it of course.

Yes i am playing at 1080p so i guess its safe to keep the native dlaa?

Yes.

The thing about upscaling is (simplified):

- it creates a smaller/less quality image and then enlargen it again

- that way your graphics card is less demanded when originally rendering the original image, which is smaller / less quality

- then the upscaling feature makes it larger again, which is easier for the graphics card

- that way it is overall easier for the graphics card and the performance can look better, but in truth it is just in lesser quality better

- upscaling makes only sense if your PC cannot handle the native rendering comfortably, like when you want by all means 2k, or 4k quality but your graphics card is not powerful enough

- or when playing e.g. Cyberpunk 2077 on ASUS ROG Ally Handheld - > reducing the image there improves the performance significantly and is hardly noticable, in such cases upscaling makes sense

- in your case upscaling can be skipped, so you are safe turning it off

Hopefully this helps you to understand the feature better.

Thank you for the explaination!
please bear with tech dumb like me haha.
Again thank you so much!
