Enabling DLSS lowers the base resolution?

[ThreeSon]

If I select 1080p as my resolution and then enable DLSS, does that automatically lower the resolution, and then DLSS is used to upscale it back to 1080p? Or does the resolution stay at 1080p and DLSS improves the image further depending on the DLSS setting?

DLSS dynamically upscales the game using AI from lower resolutions depending on the quality setting. It will match your native monitor res on borderless mode.

"The neural network stored on the driver compares the actual low resolution image with the reference and produce a full high resolution result. The inputs used by the trained neural network are the low resolution aliased images rendered by the game engine, and the low resolution, motion vectors from the same images, also generated by the game engine. The motion vectors tell the network which direction objects in the scene are moving from frame to frame, in order to estimate what the next frame will look like."

Okay so in other words, the game's frame rate should decrease by some amount if DLSS is enabled, correct?

no dlss is a performance booster. it runs the game at a lower resolution and then upscales it to the higher resolution with often impressive results. if you're happy with your current performance at whatever resolution your monitor is you don't need to use it.

Thanks for the info.
