Nvidia Blackwell Architecture Speculation

Wait... The old good CNN was already better than native )

That was DLSS CNN Quality, we are talking DLSS TNN Performance now.

Native is dead, DLSS TNN Performance mode looks better than native.

Another believer.

alking DLSS TNN Performance now.

The difference in motion is indeed dramatic. Below are a few comparisons taken in CP2077 during fast forward motion (hence the minor mistmatch). One screenshot in each pair is a native resolution with TAA, while the other is DLSS Performance (with the default sharpening level for DLSS). Display resolution is 1440p, meaning the rendering resolution with DLSS is 1280x720. I intentionally did not label the screenshots so that anyone interested can try to identify DLSS on their own.

DLSS is number 2.

DLSS is number 2.

DLSS and Native TAA can be swapped in position for each pair.

DLSS and Native TAA can be swapped in position for each pair.

Diabolical.

First: 2 is DLSS
Second: 1 is DLSS
Third: 1 is DLSS
Fourth: 1 is DLSS

I'm probably wrong lol but I tried @OlegSH

You did it right. Congradulations!)

DLSS is much better than TAA at distant text and lines, and dlss is a bit more sharpened. 720p upscaled looks pretty much the same as native 1440p, really impressive.

Agree, the default sharpening value which was likely finetuned for the CNN model is not a good match for the new TN model.

Really easy to spot DLSS, even without zooming. Just swipe couple times to find something that is 'different' and the nicer/sharper one is DLSS. Trees in mid distance. Or the trucks LED array lights. Last one just everything at a distance is clearer with DLSS.

BUT another way to find DLSS... zoom a bit and look for odd stippling/checkering. Its like everywhere with DLSS, eg:

Weird how common it is while image is also clearly better.

this video is one of the best examples of native vs DLSS 4, and it looks much better overall in DLSS 4, I didn't expect those differences tbh.

Especially the HUGE difference in antialiasing when he compares Stalker, which is a jaggies fest in native-.

The guy does a good job comparing both in real time without actually splitting the screen but superposing.
