You are contradicting yourself, if they look like that up close, then there isn't any reason why they shouldn't look the same at a distance, if DLSS is correcting some of the LoD problems then this is more of than a welcome addition.
Err, what? Last time I checked things tend to lose details the further away they are in real life too, and in that particular scene with bright light relative to scene blasting on to said building there's no way they should be that defined.

DLSS 2.0 works great in "Deliver us the Moon". One picture is 1080 with TAA, the other is 4K with DLSS@Performance:
Games usually have aggressive shadow LoDs that cut down shadows way before geometry, so no this isn't natural at all. The way I see it, this is the correct way to handle these windows, shadows don't magically disappear into thin air completely as in that TAA shot. I would rather have them, even if slightly accentuated than not having them at all.
Not sure if this is fully comparable to what's happening on that Youngblood scene, but DLSS does seem to conjure up some detail that TAA cannot at a 100% resolution:
Isn't that true for either DLSS or TAA? The white lines are present in the first (TAA) and second (DLSS) images.
Interesting reading, but there's a real problem with how DLSS is being talked about at the moment. eg
Aside from TAA I think the only other comparison currently made is against TAAU. Video started at 39:28.
Probably because most engines only have visuals which work due to TAA. UE4, idtech, frostbite, northlight, etc. have all designed many of their effects (ambient occlusion, reflections, transparency rendering, etc.) around stochastic accumulation and then cleaning that up with TAA. If you turn off TAA in these games, most of their effects works breaks. So there is really no alternative to TAA in many of these game engines, or if you choose to not use TAA (like turning it off in an ini file), then you have a dramatically worse looking game that no amount of MSAA or FXAA could save.Interesting reading, but there's a real problem with how DLSS is being talked about at the moment. eg
"The image comparisons below are thoroughly impressive, surpassing even native images more often than not while doing a 4x upscaling from 540p to 1080p."
TAA is being applied and that's blurry. Why is DLSS constantly being compared to TAA processed images and no other AA modes, or even zero AA? I mean, 4K viewed from a reasonable distance isn't going to see an awful lot of jaggies.
I guess so, but as TAA misses the lines altogether or draws them more faintly, the breaking in motion doesn't really stand out as much. Strong lines breaking in motion does.
Just to clarify, the point of the post was to show that DLSS manages to draw detail that is missing in1440p TAA image but appears when we bump the resolution scale to 200% (2880p).
How ironic that we push for higher resolution and then blur the results.
I can agree on the antennae, but not on the window framings, clearly they're mostly gone at that distance with no AA?
They are partially drawn and as the image slightly moves as the character sways, a different part of the line gets revealed. Looks to me the resolution just isn't high enough to complete the lines. I assume if I could bump it to 200% the lines would be more complete. Sadly, exceeding a 100% resolution scale seems a bit tricky in Youngblood. Might give it another try later.
perhaps if you use DSR there and set smoothing to 0% to get 4x resolution but nearest neighbour scale?
