Nvidia DLDSR is clearly superior to DSR
As a kind of better DSR with AI support, DLDSR is said to be visually comparable to classic DSR with 4x downsampling at a downsampling of 2.25x, but with higher FPS numbers.
Using Prey (test) as an example , Nvidia speaks of identical FPS compared to a native 1080p resolution with 2.25 times the DLDSR (1620p to 1080p). Here, Nvidia promises a better picture with the same FPS number, while classic 4x DSR has to lose a lot of performance.
Nvidia DLDSR can be activated via the Nvidia Control Panel → Manage 3D Settings → DSR Factors.
