Does anyone have comparison screenshots of DLSS upscaling?
My GPU doesn't support it.
I need uncompressed still pictures at native resolution.
I can only find compressed images/videos which is useless.

Quality option looks good after DLSS 3, it's particles that might be a bit weird sometimes, but nowhere near as bad as FSR.

Outdated information. DLSS4 and FSR4 literally have better motion clarity than standard antialiasing at native resolutions.
Of course a game with no antialiasing at all has better motion clarity, but the lack of antialiasing introduces 500 other visual issues that are way more grating than softness.

Still images tell you nothing because the visual issues come from the differences between frames, even if each individual frame seems to look fine. DLSS2 looks good in stills, except it becomes soft in motion and can have minor artifacts that are visible only when you compare neighboring frames. FSR2 looks good in stills, except it fizzles and oversharpens in motion which is only seen when comparing neighboring frames.

A high quality video slowed down to 20% speed would be a much better showcase.

And yet it's true. DLSS4 and FSR4 even at 50% scale have better motion clarity than standard rendering does. Your premise is flawed because it's predicated on the mistake that standard rendering is flawless, it's not. Standard rendering in 99% of modern games comes with TAA, which is primitive and limited compared to DLSS4 and FSR4.

In my experience it depends on the game. Some look better if you upscale from 1440p than in native 4k. Some look worse than 1080p native in motion. It's weird how the upscale shit was said to eliminate this but I never fiddled as much with gfx setting before. Not for performance but eye cancer prevention.

Exactly.

Upscaling, no matter how good or which version, introduces artifacts. There is no way around this and they're never will be because of the way that technology works.

There will be nothing ever so clear as native resolution. 4K 8K with no post processing is as clear as it will ever get.

Upscaling and frame generation are trash Tech.

Standard rendering with antialiasing off looks utter garbage in newer 3D games, when's the last time you tried it? And no, it is not the standard rendering mode. Games nowadays are often built with TAA in mind, and the visual presentation falls apart without it.

standard rendering now means that you use temporalslop to hide dithering and undersampled effects. when you turn temporalslop off, it looks vile

SSAA is automatically disqualified because nobody sane is going to pay a raytracing-tier performance cost and cut their framerate in half just for slightly better antialiasing.

It's not just jagged edges anymore. The entire visual presentation of a modern game often falls apart without antialiasing, because now we also have subpixel aliasing, shader aliasing, specular aliasing, dithering, shimmering of all kinds, disocclusion issues, noise from low-sample raytracing, and so on. I tried playing the gay Aloy game (Horizon West something) without antialiasing at 4k and every single leaf and piece of vegetation in the forest was flickering like it was made of crawling ants.
The type of jaggies you'd get in 2004 without AA are vastly different to what happens now.

SSAA costs literally nothing at HD with proper forward rendering.

It only costs too much when you're using a 4K meme screen with a Shitty deferend rendering game that wastes a fuck load of Vram on all of those 4k temporal screen buffers.
So since SSAA is the gold standard in proper forward rendering, You're attempting to match it in your deffered slop.
Thus anything new fake AA method should be compared with SSAA. the real AA.

I'd love to live in your alternate reality where forwarding rendering is the norm or the standard, but we're not in that alternate reality. Basically every graphically intensive game from the last near-decade comes from deferred rendering, and all graphics gimmicks now are predicated on it being deferred rendered.

I wish too. I wish Unreal engien was never made.
because the reality is you NEVER need more than 10 light sources per object.
you NEVER need ray tracing.

He's still kind of a shill for deferred rendering.
he thinks he can work around its problems.

I think having to pre render and store several 4K screen maps; Normal, Emmisive, Specular, Depth, ect, Is such a huge fucking waste of performance and Vram that it's just a completely shitty and non-viable render method.
and then it looks likes smeary fuzzy shit in the final product.

Good read. It's clear that since SSAA processes each frame independently at a higher resolution, it avoids temporal artifacts like ghosting or flickering, which are common in TAA-based methods like DLSS. This is particularly noticeable in fast-moving scenes or games with high contrast.

Even with the improved Transformer model in DLSS 4, which reduces ghosting and enhances stability compared to earlier versions, temporal artifacts can still occur due to reliance on previous frames and motion vector data.

Use DLSS4 if you have a 1440p or 2160p monitor, there's basically no reason not to unless it's a particularly buggy implementation like AC Shadows. At 1080p only DLAA4 is good. If you want it act a bit more like SSAA then combine DSR/DLDSR/VSR with upscaling, it's not going to give you performance but it'll give you better antialiasing coupled with the temporal stability of DLSS.

Alternatively use FSR4 if you have access to it. Don't use FSR2-3. If you need a new GPU I'd actually recommend the new AMD GPUs right now, they're better value. There'll be a lot of people online who insist against this because they don't really keep up with modern graphics like >>712524973 or >>712527414, ignore them. If you put two motion screenshots of 4k TAA vs 4K DLSS side by side and didn't tell them which is which, they'd 100% get it wrong and it'd break their brains.

That's kinda funny we looped back around to having filters do all the work while our brains fill in the rest, I remember someone showing a TV show from the 2000's using a white blanket as snow for one of their episodes which was used as a stand in for snow presumably because CRTs at the time were too blurry to see if it was real snow or not.
