    DSR, downscaling from 4k to 1080p with dlss perf. can create great resaults on 1080p. Its perfect for 4070 and full hd monitors. Eliminates cpu bottlenecks, adds huge amount of quality AA and creates density that is not present at native 1080p.. 1440p monitors dont respond so well to 4k downsamling like 1080p that has pixel ratio 1:1 with 4k. I would even say that 1080p monitor can look better with DSR/VSR than 1440p in certain type of games. Its works the best with large 1080p monitors like 27 or more...

    Looks like they intend for gamers to use upscaling and/or framegen in modern games. And I agree, after going to freesync 1440p monitors and seeing how nice upscaling works, I don't see any reason for 1080p monitors anymore. 1440p monitors can be had really cheap now, in many cases as cheap as 1080p monitors. So It almost looks like they are phasing out 1080p monitors. I don't think they will though, but I think more and more PC gamers will transition to 1440p and 4K monitors in the future.

My weakest system has an RTX 4060 and my main system is using an RX 7800 XT. With upscaling I make the RTX 4060 setup work nicely on 1440p in modern games. My only gripe is 8GB vram. But turning down textures mostly fixes this. RX 7800 XT can handle native 1440p in the games I have. But upscaling is nice if I want more FPS or for future games even on that rig.

    On PC there have pretty much always been games that push the boundaries and can't run well even on the latest modern hardware but those games are outliers. You can't just look at the outliers and say the RTX 4070 is suddenly a 1080p gaming card because it has trouble running one of the most demanding games out at 1440p and even 1080p depending on the settings. Certain games I believe are designed to sell new graphics cards.

With the input lag it is noticeable with a mouse and keyboard so I have to always use a controller or turn off path tracing. I should have bought a 4080 super.

That depends on how far away your eyes are from the screen. I have a laptop that is running 1080p and I can used performance DLSS and it still looks good because the screen is so small.

    is that a Steel Series control type Mousepad? 🐁 In raw 1080p realm, imho, is the best for those who do competitive esport titles where higher FPS and minimal latency input lag are extremely crucial to give you that last drop squeeze of edge apart from the skill ceiling. Of course you, one would need to pair the rig with the highest refresh rate 23-24" 1080p monitor (for comprehensive field of view) you can afford to match the FPS the system is generating. For non competitive folks like myself, 1080p High can still be nice for budget folks. Though I had just sacrificed that for a High/Medium setting at 1440p nowadays, so I can record video at native crispy 1440p. LOL 🌶 Great vid as always V.

    UE5 is not that bad actually. Banishers GoNE runs pretty well on 4070 at 4K + DLSS Quality, providing 60+ fps experience. It depends on how many UE5 features a ertain game utilizes. Hellblade 2 just uses all the available UE5 tech, that is why this game is so demanding. Unfortunately the devs did not give gamers any chance to reduce graphics settings further. That is why even at Low preset Hellblade 2 looks better than most games at Medium/High settings.

    We all know some games are Nvidia sponsored and some are AMD. GPU makers engineers work with game devs to make their hardware perform better than the competition. What if both companies turned that existing collaboration infrastructure on consumers using new, overly intensive, games to speed up the upgrade cycle? The RX 7800XT turns 1 in Sept and the 8800XT arrives in January. Sure looks like the one year upgrade cycle GPU makers are pushing.

    This is horrible. I don't have such high end hardware but I feel like there's no hope for the upcoming games and future of gaming anymore as they will force Ray Tracing more and more and rely everything on the upscaler and frame generator. Unreal Engine games often do this. And Low settings often make less or no difference at all compared to Epic settings which makes sense for no fps improvements that much. This is very unhealthy habit. Even Low settings makes no improvement then that's it, everything is screwed. And I would disagree with you that 1440p monitors are getting "cheaper". No, they are still expensive these days, they may get cheaper but very slow to wait that making use of 1080p monitors at this time are still relevant. At least double or more than double the price than 1080p monitors. If that's what it takes to get 60 fps plus all of the time on 1080p, I would definitely take the DLSS experience as the DLSS quality also keep getting better and better. I have been living like this for years and already get used to it so not a big problem for me. Making a switch to 1440p would be an absolute blast but that's just a wishful thinking for now. It would take a long journey for that to happen. The real problem here is the horrendously optimized games and lack of VRAM. And I don't think DLSS Quality on 1440p will get you similar frames as the 1080p on native. DLSS or upscalers in general ain't free performance boost either, they needs the processing power to operate on its own despite coming from the "lowres" internally. Looking at how newer and higher end GPUs also struggling like this, we can be comfortable a bit to not upgrade too often or at least support these planned obsolescence. The best option for now is to be selective with what games you play and don't expecting too much. You would be disappoint. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    You brought up an interesting topic "1440p DLSS Quality vs 1080p native". I've tested it in the previous video and performance is actually very similar - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iWmhusmwYZWxfNo.htmlsi=5zxQH5Nga1cfvDcR&t=278
