Native 4K made sense... when it wasn't possible to generate a near perfect (or in some cases better than native) 4K image from a lower resolution. Now... if you're not using a lower resolution and reconstructing it... you're doing it wrong. There's simply smarter ways to do things now. Native 4K is a massive waste of resources. Downsampling is nice though. Downsampling from 4K to a 2K monitor produces a very pleasing image. More resolution helps the image become more temporally stable.. which is always welcome. That's why CGI always looks so good despite the fact that you can watch it at lower resolutions... it's just looks stable. No aliasing or artifacts. DynamiteCop wasn't wrong when he said the sweet spot on PC is 1440p at high framerates. 160-200fps... it feels and looks sublime. Don't forget that with temporal AA solutions, the more frames generated means better accumulation and convergence. So while the resolution may be lower than 4K... it can actually look sharper in motion and cleaner. Got it. One more question, but should I turn on DLSS in basically every game that supports it? Since it seems to always provide a performance boost, without negatively affecting a game's visuals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since it seems to always provide a performance boost, without negatively affecting a game's visuals. As a general rule, now, yes of course. With 2.0 and some versions of 2.1, there could still be some edge cases where there might be a slight bit of ghosting, or other artifacts... but even then the visuals are essentially native 4K quality.. But the newest versions of DLSS, 2.1~ and 2.2, ghosting is essentially unnoticeable, and it's at the point now where there's far less ghosting with DLSS than there is even with TAA at native resolutions. So yea, enable that shit... it's free performance nowadays. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
