DLSS 5 comes with a massive 50-60% performance hit, so I hope you like lower frame rates with your dose of AI image enhancement (www.pcgamer.com)

The very bad news is, Nvidia says turning DLSS 5 on will currently reduce performance by 50-60%. And that's across the board—no matter the game.

Genuinely asking:

Is this the first time DLSS hurts fps instead of improving it?

Like, I thought that was the entire point of it. It allowed you to turn up settings but still have useable frame rates.

I don't know who would pay for a card to support this, just to turn around and cut the fps in half.

It seems like their target demo is people that pay for 5090s but for some reason still put on all the frame gen and scaling stuff to make their game look worse. This chops the frame in half, when they could just turn off frame gen and scaling and likely have better and steadier frames.

Dlss was originally an anti aliasing technique (its in the name) so it has originally been a performance hit. It was casual change and marketing that decided that upscaling from a lower resolution was the norm.

DLDSR is essentially what DLSS 1.0 was

If youre upscaling from a lower resolution, thats no longer the SS in DLSS (super sampling)
