The real power of DLSS 3 can be seen in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Whereas DLSS 2 could not improve upon CPU-bound games in any meaningful way, the key component of the new version of DLSS 3, Frame Generation, is completely independent of any CPU bottleneck.

As such, there is a massive 106% increase in average FPS and an even greater 115% improvement in minimum FPS over the DLSS 2 implementation.

Hehe interesting.  Hopefully not all glass cockpits are blurry though.

There is also a video:

 

Wow. 146 FPS with DLSS 3.  That's amazing.

I got to say, the competition needs to play catchup.  You can't ignore DLSS 3, it's such a huge improvement to the performance for a flight simulator.

Promising (Especially the DLSS3). I would be surprised to see AMD come out with anything like that so i think they may be left behind in that regard. But considering im staying at Ultrawide resolutions i need to see these reviews with less powerful versions as they get released. Like maybe a 4070/4080. Anything above that looks like pure overkill. Would also like to see how much Vram they will slap on the lower tiered products.

Edit .. Looks like im losing my memory and forgot that they also showed the 4080. So yeah i think i will sit back and wait on the AMD offerings, compare with a few well researched reviews  then do a 4080 16GB or the AMD equivalent if it is up to snuff and call it a day.

I must say though that for this present generation AMD has really stepped up in pure rasterization performance and i am extremely happy with my present card atm. The only compelling item for me in the new generation is the DLSS3 .. which to me appears to be something that (Because it is hardware based) AMD may have trouble having an answer for and is also why the Ampere stuff appears to be stuck at DLSS2.

With 146 fps I think I could handle blurry glass cockpits.

Is it true that DLSS3 only works on 4000 series GPUs? 

I mean it looks good in the video, but again the DLSS3 was frame generating from like 60 fps in the video which 60 FPS is already very smooth.   In MSFS you can be bottleneck to like 20-30 fps and I don't think frame generating from that low of a FPS would look good.

That is what i have read.

I'm sure AMD will have something planned, they have to.

This. If you get 142 FPS, that is for sure nice, but it means without DLSS 3.0, you already have 71 FPS, waaay enough. I wonder as well how it will work for very low FPS, because input lag wont be alleviated. Means: if your controls feel choppy with 20 FPS, they will still feel choppy with DLSS 3.0, but the FPS counter will read 40 FPS...

in the video above the cockpit doesn't appear blurry with DLSS 3

Yes, from the information that I have read so far, only on the NVidia 4000 series. I have a 3060 Ti myself.  Oh well 😄

So pretty much only a handful of people will be able to enjoy it anytime soon😁 

Well... good job Nvidia 

The 4090 alone looks pretty impressive with MSFS (DX11 without DLSS3): https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/4090-is-flight-simulator-4k-ready/548877
