 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 .

With 16 GB VRAM and just a 1080p screen, I could give it a try. I'm no longer limited by VRAM (unlike when I had my 3060Ti).

Yes on 1080p could be ok, I run at 3440X1440, though.

I use this method as well but with secondary scaling set to 1.5 with my "mediocre" RTX 3070 8GB at 1080p and this gives me the best quality/performance experience. I never have VRAM problems especially after the latest DLSS version through DLS Swapper which reduced VRAM usage.

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).

I'm really sensitive to the quirks of DLSS, especially the ghosting. I tried your solution for a quick test and the first impressions are very good. Yes, the ghosting is not completely gone (I can still see it in certain situations), but it's much better and the displays are way less blurry while the scenery outside looks extremely fantastic and sharp and having good performance. Have to try it on more flights, especially performance heavy aircraft / scenery (A350) but for now, I think I can go forward with this. Very good "tweak", but I guess your GPU still needs to be capable to handle it. (using a 3090 myself on a 1440p Ultrawide)

Nope, didn't work: although I raised Secondary Scaling to 2.0, and set DLSS to Performance or even Quality, I still find some ghosting. A bit less, but still there. I didn't try with frames unlocked, though (because I need a very stable FPS for FG). Back to TAA then.

It is better than TAA I know conclude...

TAA ... what value?  The video didn't show any comparison images/video to TAA?

DLAA is NO render scaling (1X)

Frame Generation 3X means more fake frames which will increase latency (monitor's refresh rate is irrelevant) and is only available on 5000 series GPUs

Making all these changes and then cap Max frame rate at 40 ... not sure I understand that?

I suspect the perception of smoothness comes from his setting of TLOD = 110 (that's a very low).  If I run TAA = 200 and set TLOD=110 (normally maxed at 400) I'm around 80-90 FPS in NY City (no DLSS/DLAA or frame gen) and very smooth but looks terrible. 

Those settings seem very odd to me, but if the user is happy with them then to each his/her own.

Yeah, People do some strange things with their settings, probably because they don’t understand the trade-offs. On one hand he wants everything on Ultra but then sets TLOD to 110. Crazy.

I have a 4090 and all settings maxed with TLOD 400 and get 120FPS in the ifly 737 with 2x FG so this guy should be able to get well over 60FPS with no FG with TLOD set to 400 since he says he has a 5090. Sheesh. 

However, I must say the instrumentation is sharper than I expected. I’ll have to have another look.

Have you tried using a value of 1.5 for the secondary scaling? Maybe that would help

I just put the 350 in the air to make sure all is OK after the update I just did and yes if I am being super picky there is a tiny amount of blurring on the far right digits on the altitude tape but I can still read it perfectly and that is on my 55" 4K Sony TV. The beauty of this method for me is that it puts more workload on my 4090 which it needs and I know from all my years of fine tuning flight sims from MS is that the more load on the GPU than CPU generally results in a smoother experience.

Good luck with this, you can always go back to TAA

Yes I did, it still increases vram, so I prefer to see a bit of shimmering or flickering than to have any more hit on vram and a bit of ghosting. Thanks for the suggestion anyways.

Can someone please post what the current DLSS4 file versions are?  I'm not using DLSS swapper and nor NV APP and just need the correct 3 files.

Thanks

V310.1 and latest is v310.3 (K) which I used in combination with DLAA
