The lowest spec new RTX Blackwell GPU is capable of frame rates akin to the $1,599 RTX 4090 of the previous generation, though likely only through new DLSS 4 AI smarts.
Dlss completely hid a small thing I needed to find in a puzzle game. There are game design drawbacks to having the gpu overwrite a bunch of the graphics. A spiffed up image that looks like the game you are playing isn’t necessarily preserving details you need.
It was the circular oasis level of talos principle 2 on a WQUXGA display. I didn’t capture screenshots. https://eip.gg/guides/the-talos-principle-2-south-3-star-statue-puzzles/ If you look at images 9 and 14, the little prism that the red beam connects to was completely erased by dlss. I had to just scan around until the icon for establishing a connection popped up.
I’ve never gone below quality (never felt the need to), that’s why I was asking. Since lower DLSS settings render the game at a lower resolution, you might have unknowingly (probably to the developers as well) picked a setting that broke this particular puzzle.

Huh, I’ve never heard of that before. Do you have screenshots? Which game at which resolution and DLSS setting?

Interesting, thank you! Which DLSS setting were you using?
It’s been a while so I’m not sure I remember but probably balanced with dlss on. That game doesn’t expose much for dlss specific settings in the ui.
