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.
