Which One of the Following Has DLSS On?

xkm1948 · Feb 21, 2019

So Nvidia said they will keep training neruo network for better DLSS image quality and performance. Saw some thread over reddit claiming DLSS picture quality has improved after new patches. In your eyes which one of the following has DLSS on?

Would be nice for @W1zzard to revisit DLSS image quality after a while and see whether there are actual quality improvements as well as performance differences.

C but without side by side comparisons they all look fine

C

Though if this is taken from the recent update, perhaps also A is an option. It has sharpening artifacts all over the place. Need fullscreen zoom to see it, so its not a bad implementation in that case.

Gotta say, nice little blind test!

Picked C, because it has the worst IQ IMO

C...obviously.

It's funny. In those examples the AA actually looks(for the most part) better, on top of the much sharper/crisper image quality, with DLSS OFF. They need to change the name to DLSB. Deep Learning Super Blurring. Looks like shit.

A is DLSS after Nvidia improved the AI training

C is before the patch DLSS

B is no DLSS

The vegetation detail is a good indication. Even on the update some small vegetation are all but wiped out.

Nice improvement for screenshot B post patch.

B is no DLSS 4K

If you look at the scaffolding structure in the center. "A" & "C" look to be using a different LOD then "B".

OK, A and B to me look the same without zooming in.

Yep. That is the purpose of improving Image quality by training AI for DLSS

spectatorx · Feb 22, 2019

On A is a lot of blurring and aliasing in comparison to B but they are fairly similar in quality. A looks like the same thing as B but with lower resolution and added slight blurring filter. C is obviously upscaling a.k.a. marketing name: DLSS.

and without pixel peeping to use a photographic term the average gamer would not be aware of any of it.. all he would see is higher frame rates..

I'm suprised to see A is DLSS on,though B is better on closer examination,it is a huge improvement.
C is obviously crap.

Nice one.

Yeah I had some trouble spotting it as well from the page but when you put it fullscreen its obvious. All outlines are notably 'thicker' looking, making the picture a bit cartoony as opposed to the fine lines of B. This happens simply because of sharpening, as it increases the contrast between different outlines. You can even see the snow light up a bit around the gun, for example. When in motion, that effect is very noticeable.
