i cant even tell the difference between all 3 to be honest. It's amazing how dlss improved.

[ABSTREKT]

At the last clip I was like: "oh yeah, it's actually a bit noticeable, dlss is a bit more blurry". But then I was like: "WAIT DLSS IS ON THE LEFT??!?!?"

[stephenwoods]

Nice vid. Excellent comparisons. Hope this one gets noticed. You deserve far more subs mate

[nicholasho]

people should know that we are paying more towards to software instead of hardware itself, cyberpunk in native 4k barely reaching 40++ fps

[GGO]

Do you see any artefacts or visual issues when using DLSS 3.0 and future frame rendering?

[Slickman]

Stupid question, but does DLSS 3.0 work with a capped framerate like for instance with V-Sync with a 120hz display?

[DeadmanNasser]

is a Plague Tale Requiem RT Settings hidden within the presets under ultra? it doesn't have a Separate RT toggle like any other game since this game was announced to Feature RT effects

[Pcmassarace]

Hey joker 🤘 I have the same cpu as you, the i9 9900. Do you think it’ll be fine paired with the 4090 for 4K gaming?

[jrizz]

how...are you testing plague tale requiem when it doesn't come out for a week?

[SaccoBelmonte]

Jesus that last demo! so realistic! for a moment I thought she was a superimposed video.

[LateNightFire]

i genuinely got confused with the music and thought I had a hardware unboxed video in another tab lmao.

[divinegx]

joker are you running on a pcie gen 3 or 4

[tonys]

Honestly the biggest thing your going to notice with DLSS over Native 4K is much better frame rates. You wouldn't tell the difference in image quality.

[nexxusty]

This card is trash for the price. Rasterization performance hasn't increased that much.

The 4090 is essentially a faster clocked 3090 with DLSS 3.0.

[icy]

TFW Joker is using the same music as Hardware Unboxed. lol

[HartFalleon]

Ah, so that's how that full song from Hardware Unboxed sounds (⌐■_■)

[GhettoPCbuilds]

So DLSS is mainly for CPU limited scenarios… so how much did the chip actually improve O.o lmaoooo

[SaccoBelmonte]

Does it look buttery smooth at those high rates?

[Kev]

What level of DLSS 2.0 were you using with DLSS 3.0? Because you can use both together or you can not use DLSS 2.0 with DLSS 3.

[darkelfshadownight]

The threads are visible with DLSS 3, I prefer like that, much better
