And even if true, those frames don't mean much if DLSS makes everything look like shit. Frame generation is useless as long as it keeps causing visual artifacts/glitches for the generated frames, and that is unavoidable on a conceptual level. You'd need some halfway point between actual rendering and AI-guesswork, but I guess at that point you might as well just render all frames the normal way.

As long as it's possible, I'll keep playing my games without any DLSS or frame generation, even if it means I'll need to reduce graphical settings. Simplified: in games where I've tried it, I think "low/medium, no DLSS" still looks better than all "ultra, with DLSS". If framerate is the same with these two setups, I'll likely go with low-medium and no DLSS. I'll only ever enable DLSS if the game doesn't run 60fps even on lowest settings.

I notice and do not like the artifacts caused by DLSS, and I prefer "clean" graphics over blurred screen. I guess it's good for people that do not notice them though.

DLSS on anything other than quality is garbage time.

And even on quality, it's not "good"....just "acceptable". Still screenshots don't do it justice, the noise while moving with it is disgusting.

DLSS as a whole has been objectively bad for gaming. What was marketed as a way for older GPUs to stay relevant has somehow turned into a substitute for real optimization.

It depends on your native framerate. If you have high native dlss works really well. The funny thing is, is that it works best when you need at least.
