Does DLSS actually do anything

[Killersjp]

I have tried all the DLSS settings and have noticed no difference in FPS. I have a good spec PC this should run amazing. Hopefully when another patch is released things will get better.

DLSS can only work if you are not CPU bound. But so pretty much everybody is CPU bound because the multithreading in this game is a disaster.

I gain a tiny tiny bit of a performance increase like 5 FPS or something at DLSS Quality. But setting it to Balanced, Performance or High Performance doesn't increase the FPS any further. Because the game doesn't take advantage of my R9 5950x's 16 cores and 32 threads. No it just hammers the first core and spreads the load to like 3 more cores and that's it.

It's just horrible how bad the CPU optimization in this game is. I mean the newest consoles have 8 core Ryzen Gen 2 CPU's. But i guess even there they hammer the first CPU, but it doesn't get noticed so much because the game has limited FPS.

No, It does not work cause the game isn't using your CPU properly. and you have get CPU bound like a MF. Most gain you can get is as little as 5fps or 2 if you are unlucky. It's completely pointless and chances of it being fixed anytime soon is extremely low.

sry guys but this game looks worse than Need for Speed Shift which was released in 2009 (14 years ago !)(!!!)
i dont know how you can charge full price for uncooked garbage like this, that's the state the gaming industry is at rn...

The answer depends on your GPU and what version of the tech the (broadly speaking, any) game uses. In my opinion DLSS 1 and 2 are just smoke and mirrors. DLSS 3, though, actually does help performance, but requires you to also own at least a RTX 4000 series GPU.

In my case, DLSS 3 doesn't apply to me.

DLSS 3 is supported on all RTX series, is not restricted to RTX 40 only, what is restricted is Frame Generation feature

Nvidia, did corrected the information on Cyberpunk DLC launch

The correct information is
-DLSS 1/2/3. supported on all RTX cards
-Frame Generation, only supported on RTX 40 Cards
-DLSS 3 Ray Reconstruction, supported on all RTX cards (this feature is only represented on Cyberpunk for now)

BTW: the game runs DLSS 3.1.13.0 version

With it set to performance mode, I'll maintain 60 no problem. After a race or two or going into a menu dlss turns off (it's not even listed in the graphic settings menu) and fps will drop to 40-45 at the same settings.

Thanks for all the replies. Just have to wait I guess. Oh my spec is Intel i5 3600k Nvidia RTX 4090 FE and 32gb 6200 ram. Must be the game. Fingers crosses things will get better with it.
