Does DLSS Improve Blurriness When Lowering Game Resolution?
Asked by

I'm wondering about game resolution and clarity. If I try to change a video game resolution from my monitor's native 1080p down to something like 1366x768, the game ends up looking blurry. If I enable DLSS, does it help reduce that blurriness? I'm not really familiar with how it works, and I have a 5060 8GB that supports DLSS 4.

Are you trying to get more frames per second by rendering lower? DLSS allows you to do that. Just keep your game at 1080p and enable DLSS. It'll render at a lower resolution but upscale it, so it won’t look as sharp as native, but it will be way better than just dropping the resolution without it. The quality setting boosts image quality but lowers fps gain, while performance might lower the quality but give you more fps.

DLSS won't magically add more pixels to your monitor. If you're looking for better picture quality, it might be time to consider investing in a higher-quality monitor.

Just to clarify, if you're switching from 1080p to 768p, using DLSS won't completely fix the blurriness. DLSS upscales the game to your set resolution after rendering it at a lower one. Sometimes it might actually look better than running it at a non-native resolution, but it still won’t match the clarity of native 1080p. You can try different DLSS settings to find what looks best for your specific game.
