MSFS2024 : DLSS beats TAA !

Guy's, just try preset F...yes you lose clarity but ghosting is much better then with K.

It would be interesting to find out which presets people were using and their experiences.  For me, preset E allowed me to use DLAA but DLSS quality looked poor.  Presets J & K gave me better DLSS quality and whilst I'm happy using prest K at the monent, I've not tested any of the others.

  • No it’s not, the ghosting of glass displays is terrible.

  • Ewww.  DLSS blurs glass gauges and when values change they lag badly. It's fine on analog aircraft but no go with glass.

  • TAA all day for me as well.  Clear displays is 100% necessary.

DLSS at 4k and very high native FPS may beat TAA. The ghosting may be not so noticeable there. Not so in my case (1080p and 30 native FPS): TAA behaves better for me in my conditions.

I’m playing at 4K HDR and find that DLSS/DLAA produces a noticeably sharper image overall compared to TAA. I don’t notice enough blurring on instrumentation to outweigh the much sharper visuals everywhere else. Of course, this won’t be the case for everyone, but it’s worth giving DLSS a try to see if it improves the overall image for you.

Must admit, RAM usage was higher than expected ... verified with Task Manager also, almost same value.

Orbx EIDW + AIG + Aerosoft CRJ V2  (GSX not active).

DLSS Quality + FSR 2X looks good so long as I have VRR enabled ... but ground texture/lighting is not as good some ghosting here and there and cockpit not as clear.

I use separate monitors for instruments. 1 for PFD and ND and 1 for ECAM/ENG/Center Display. DLSS with secondary scaling set to 1.5 is ideal for my use case in terms of performance. No other setting worked better.

Interesting, what rig do you have? A 5090? I mean, you really use over 500W for this card in MSFS2024? That is ridiculous 😉

After testing I still see ;

TAA / TAA (105) : less cloud ghosting , but losing details on objects in the dustance

DLSS : more cloud ghosting , but all objects details are visible in the distance 

Anyone tried with AA off in MSFS2024 and certain AA settings in the NVCP ?

Yes 5090 ... when actually flying it'll be around 600-614 Watts ... not even 4K, just 3440 x 1440.

I'm definitely sticking with TAA/SSAA = 200, far too much blur/ghosting with DLSS + FSR 2X and even though it reports 80+ FPS (everything maxed out), it doesn't feel "smooth" as there is still significant long frames (stutters) when doing rapid pan inside the cockpit.

If someone is planning a high end build for MSFS 2024, get 64GB.

Then you have a resolution way higher than 4K. It‘s 6880x2880 due to resolution scaling.

Yes I know, super sampled (see my prior post and image where the render resolution is display in TAA box).  In prior sims I would run 4X even sometimes 8X SSAA on native 3840 x 2160 … image quality was amazing.

Tried TAA + 200 but as ghosting on clouds is less, small objects like towers in the far distance are less/not visible ..

TAA=200, nothing else enabled (FSR?) … I get the exact opposite, smaller “thin” objects are visible.  With a higher pixel count the sampling should provide for more objects, not less.  Can you screen shot all your settings?

600W. Oh boy, I might be getting 10% less FPS with my 4090. With 350W max (undervolted)...

I've had a bit of a flight sim break as it has been a busy summer but just thought I would mention what I have been doing for a while now. I have tried DLSS before and for me on my 55" Sony X90K the glass cockpits are too blurry. I always make sure I am up to date with my DLSS versions (Normal & FG) and with DLSS swapper (I do not use the NVIDIA App just the normal control panel) In the MSFS config file I set the secondary scaling to 2 which will double the render resolution. Then in the sim select the DLSS performance option. This reduces the native resolution in the sim by 50% back to 4K (At least I think this is how it works LOL). In doing this I get no blurry glass cockpits and all the benefits of using DLSS. I am running MSFS 2020 still with an i7-12700K, 32GB DDR4 3600 and a 4090. The sim looks and performs beautifully and I have been very happy. I run with a FPS lock of 72 in RTSS which gives me very consistent FTV and the end result is a super nice experience.

That’s a unique AA solution… It sounds very similar to Apple’s Retina display rendering process where they render the image at double the resolution and then by downscaling effectively get a very sharp anti-aliased result.

Thanks for posting this...but this workaround would be great for users with more than 24GB of GPU/VRAM. Not for ones like me with only 12 or less. Your method increases GPU/VRAM by 1 GB at minimum unfortunately .
