Re: DLSS 4.5 "Preset L" Tested: How Good Can a 4K Upscale from 720p Look?

Hrm. I'll have to try this out on my current admittedly oddball setup....
1. at 10ft sitting distance, I can't tell the difference between 1440p and 4k on my television. SO, I set my gaming laptop to outpt at 1440p... yay free performance!
2. I have a gaming laptop connected to that television at said 1440p. It's nice 12GB 5070ti laptop. Take of that what you will, it's great for the 1440 sweet spot, honestly.

If Preset L gives a little better quality, I don't think I'd mind the slight milliseconds hit if I run it at balanced mode in this above setup. I think it would be a good win and decent compromise between quality and performance.

Yeah, Lossless Scaling already does this, and I prefer its frame pacing stability over even NVIDIA's. The only issue is that there are more artifacts w/ LS's algorithm, since it works without motion vectors and effectively has to generate everything via dead reckoning.

That said, I ended up getting a 240hz oled monitor to take advantage of LS. A high frame rate, w/ dynamic/adaptive frame gen up to 240 is niiiiice.
