Still, it's a decent bump, hitting 34.4 fps on average. This is because the resolution DLSS is upscaling from is higher. This prioritizes graphics over performance, so the impact to visual quality is minimized, but then so to are the performance gains. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers several DLSS options, so we tested out 'Quality' mode next. Of course, Red Dead Redemption 2, like most games, hasn't been designed for 8K, so textures aren't going to benefit from the high resolution, but overall, DLSS has shown just what it's capable of. Visual-wise, it looked fantastic, if perhaps a little softer in distant details. This leaps shows that with a bit of tweaking we should be able to get to 60fps on average at 8K – which was once considered unobtainable. The minimum fps also rose from 21.5 to 29.7 fps, while the max frame rates doubled from 31.3 to 62.2 fps. While still not hitting 60fps on average, it instantly makes the game actually playable at 8K, something it wasn't without DLSS, and it's a potent example of how much of a difference DLSS can make.
The results were drastic, with it now hitting 50fps on average – effectively doubling the frame rate.

Check out the boxout on the right for the full spec of the PC we used.Īfter hitting 25.3fps at 8K with all graphical settings set to their highest levels but DLSS off, we kept everything the same, but turned DLSS to 'Auto'. As usual, we played the game using our 8K gaming PC provided by Chillbast, along with Dell's UltraSharp UP3218K monitor. So, we were keen to see what a difference DLSS makes, especially at the ultra-high 8K resolution. It can also mean you can implement intensive graphical effects, like ray tracing, that your gaming rig may have traditionally struggled with. Even if there are noticeable differences between an upscaled game using DLSS and one running natively, it's usually not that noticeable, and most importantly, it allows for better performance without impacting graphical fidelity all that much. We've tested a number of games with DLSS and have been really impressed. This could then be used to help lower-end GPUs achieve 'higher' resolutions, while smoothing out frame rate drops for more powerful cards, allowing them to keep a rock-solid fps. The idea is that this upscaled game should look a lot like it was running at that higher resolution natively, but because it's actually running at a lower resolution, it's less taxing on your GPU. Thanks to machine learning and AI, it can take a game running at 1440p, for example, and upscale it to 4K – or higher.
Short for Deep Learning Super Sampling, it uses the tensor cores in Nvidia’s GeForce RTX cards to upscale a game’s resolution. The reason we loaded up Red Dead Redemption 2 at 8K once more was the fact that it now supports DLSS. (Image credit: Rockstar) With a little help from my DLSS
