NVIDIA DLSS-Technologie (2024)

FAQs

Does DLSS actually increase FPS? ›

DLSS can boost your frame rates but at the cost of some fine detail.

DLSS isn't useful if it's not available in your favorite PC games. That aside, DLSS is an excellent technology for PC gamers, and those who own Nvidia hardware should use it as frequently as possible. It can noticeably boost performance with little to no downside.

AMD FSR is a technology from AMD and is primarily available for graphics cards from that manufacturer, but can also be used on certain third-party graphics cards. Nvidia DLSS is a technology from Nvidia and requires an Nvidia graphics card of the Turing or Ampere architecture.

It's counterintuitive, but the anti-aliasing inside DLSS is often better than TAA in games, so higher-quality modes at higher resolutions can look better with DLSS on.

DLSS will drop the usage down (in some cases) as its taking the load of the GPU, but can also just increase the FPS whilst still maxing out the GPU. Battlefield hardly uses full GPU anyway as its mainly CPU bound (for majority of players).

Turning off DLSS not only drastically improved the quality of the graphics, but improved FPS as well.

While DLSS3 adds input lag, nVidia have a anti lag system to completely remove the additional input lag. Basically you will have much more frames, but the same ammount of input lag than DLSS Frame Generation OFF.

DLSS Quality increases graphic quality without impacting FPS as much. It's a way for you to get better graphics without needing as much raw power. DLSS Performance is the opposite. It gives you higher FPS without turning all settings to low.

NVIDIA DLSS 3 brings incredible performance increases in many games and applications, and takes advantage of brand new AI technology exclusive to the RTX 40-series.

DLSS is able to maintain a more consistent lead over FSR, providing a few frames of extra performance across the performance modes. The difference here isn't meaningful enough to impact the gameplay experience, but there's no denying that DLSS is ahead.

Why can't AMD use DLSS? ›

Not only does DLSS require AI cores (Nvidia calls them Tensor cores) to operate, which means it's only functional on RTX 2000 and newer GPUs, but it's also locked to Nvidia GeForce GPUs specifically, whereas AMD's upscaling option instead uses open-source tech that can run on any graphics card.

NVIDIA DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is a neural graphics technology that multiplies performance using AI to create entirely new frames, display higher resolution through image reconstruction, and improve the image quality of intensive ray-traced content—all while delivering best-in-class image quality and ...

However if you're doing e.g. 4k or even higher resolution videos and you risk running out of VRAM and rendering times become a bottleneck in your process DLSS usually doesn't degrade quality notably even compared to the native resolution FSR2 temporal anti-aliasing we have today.

Does NVIDIA® DLSS support all games? No, not all games currently support NVIDIA® DLSS. However, the list of supported games is continuously growing as more developers integrate DLSS into their titles.

In our testing, the frame rate instantly increased from sub-70 FPS to around 120 FPS. This is with DLSS 3.5, Frame Generation, and Ray Reconstruction turned on. This is a nearly 72% performance boost and something that would make exploring the Night City even more enjoyable.

DLSS isn't perfect, and there are many inherent drawbacks to the technology. The most obvious of these is that DLSS is limited to just a few hundred games, most of which came out after 2018. There are very few titles before that year that have DLSS, so it's a feature that's largely limited to the latest AAA games.

In Fortnite, NVIDIA DLSS can accelerate performance by up to 3X, enabling gamers to experience ray tracing at higher resolutions and framerates on GeForce RTX GPUs.

Supercomputer Performance

This means you get the power of the DLSS supercomputer network to help you boost performance and resolution—and it gets even better over time.
