Let us talk about turning on Nvidia DLSS in games, whether you can use DLSS on your GPU, and much more in this comprehensive guide.
Nvidia DLSS is a feature that must be used in most, if not all, cases to improve the performance of PCs and laptops. However, there are a few things you should know about Nvidia DLSS before you can make the most of this feature.
Below, we shall go through how to turn on Nvidia DLSS in games as well as which graphics cards support the technology.
What is Nvidia DLSS?
Nvidia DLSS, Ray Tracing, and Frame Generation are vital features based on which graphics cards’ performances differ. Nvidia DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) is an upscaling technique that improves the gaming experiences of all people, whether they are using older GPUs or the latest. Upscaling is a technology powered by AI in gaming that helps to improve the quality of graphics by simultaneously boosting the image resolution of what is being displayed and the performance (FPS) of the game.
Nvidia DLSS makes use of frame generation via AI to simply insert a frame between two frames, hence yielding better performance. The gameplay feels more fluid as well. This method is highly efficient and yields great results. It does an amazing job of upscaling trees, grass, bushes, etc. along with highlighting shadow details.
How To Turn On Nvidia DLSS in Games
In order to turn on Nvidia DLSS in games, you first need to double-check whether the driver of your graphics card is up-to-date. Nvidia App or Nvidia GeForce Experience can be used to update the GPU drivers smoothly. Follow the steps listed below to turn on Nvidia DLSS in games:
1. Not every game out there supports Nvidia DLSS. Make sure the game you are trying to play supports DLSS.
2. Since you have to turn on DLSS for each game manually through the in-game settings, launch the game.
3. Open the Settings menu.
4. Under the Graphics tab, look for Scaling/Upscaling.
5. Select DLSS as the upscaling method.
6. Toggle DLSS on from the same menu.
7. Choose between three presets – Performance, Balanced, Quality (in some cases, ultra performance and ultra quality as well).
All Nvidia GPUs That Support DLSS
If you are planning to use DLSS, your graphics card must belong to the Nvidia RTX series. AMD GPUs or the GT/GTX series cards do not support DLSS. Nvidia DLSS 3 or higher are only available on the RTX 4000 series. With DLSS 3, you can use Frame Generation for even better performance.
The following is a list of all the Nvidia GPUs that support DLSS:
- Nvidia RTX 2060
- Nvidia RTX 2060 Super
- Nvidia RTX 2070
- Nvidia RTX 2070 Super
- Nvidia RTX 2080
- Nvidia RTX 2080 Super
- Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti
- Nvidia RTX 3050
- Nvidia RTX 3060
- Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti
- Nvidia RTX 3070
- Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti
- Nvidia RTX 3080
- Nvidia RTX 3080 Ti
- Nvidia RTX 3090
- Nvidia RTX 4050
- Nvidia RTX 4060
