As you can see, the effect on performance of turning on DLSS 2.0 was. At its most optimized, the 50 percent render image (Performance Mode) represents a 184 percent increase in frame rate over native 4K (54fps versus 19fps), while even the highest quality setting (66 percent) still grants a boost of 94 percent over the native resolution.This trend continued in 1440p and 1080p results, all of which reflected an equally huge jump in speeds once the DLSS feature was turned on. Admittedly there is a bit of a bell curve where the percentage gains start to drop off in 1080p resolution, and we were told by Nvidia it was likely this would happen. At that point, the CPU is handling a lot more of the heavy lifting than the GPU would, which means the effectiveness of any tech contained in the GPU (the Tensor cores) drops accordingly....My early impressions, though, are that Nvidia has created something special here, a nascent technology that could upend the value of graphics cards down the line. I'm a hard reviewer to please in this department; I've made my feelings about DLSS known on multiple occasions in more than a few of our video card reviews , and this is the first time I'm sincerely impressed with what the tech has to offer. And I'm not only impressed what it has to offer today, but also excited about the promise it offers for tomorrow.
