Just a reminder that sim update 4 reverted to dlss 3.1 and dlssg 3.1, so you may need to swap if you were previously using dlss 3.4 as I was

Thanks for the reminder. Though that is by now part of my routine after going through all the builds…

I set the Nvidia app to override the game version with the latest available. One and done!

does it actually do anything to change to the newer one?

Don't understand about all this DLSS version stuff, do you need the Nvidia app to get the DLSS features ?, does DLSS help with AA and shimmering ?.

It didn't change on my end. Still on 3.10.4 after the update.

That's should be the most recent dlls version.

I'm still trying to understand DLAA / DLSS and all this new GPU stuff 😕

Since I don't have my desktop operational until january, it'll take a while until I get the chance to try SU4 but in the past I have used that DLSS-Swaper app.

Question is, in my 3060 Ti is it worth going DLSS / DLAA? I've been on TAA only for quite a while. I did try Lossless too.

DLSS can always provide slightly better performance if you are limited by GPU, this is the whole purpose of it, especially for high resolutions. For Lossless scaling I guess your purpose was the frame generation part, no?

Yes, I believe it was although I just read that DLAA and FSR do it better using AI(?)

When I choose DLSS in fs 2024 some gauges have their characters blurred...

Just use DLSS Swapper:

Ok, help me with these moder GPU concepts, please 🙂

FS 2024 graphics options offers, for Anti-aliasing:

TAA (the one I use since quite a while because it ensures crisp detals in the gauges)

NVIDIA DLSS 4

AMD FSR 3 

But then, down bellow this setting there's Frame Generation:

NVIDIA DLSS

AMD FSR 3

Well, since I have a RTX 3060 Ti and I don't want again to do more than using either the options in the new Nvidia App or DLSS swaper, what are my options, given that:

1) I am limited to 1920 x 1080 @ 60 Hz

2) I set max FPS to 30 in the sim graphics options, or using Riva tunner

?

Thx!

==> BTW, asking Copilot I get:

 

Best combo for your setup (RTX 3060 Ti, 1080p/60Hz, capped at 30 FPS):
Use TAA or DLAA for anti‑aliasing (to keep cockpit gauges sharp) and disable Frame Generation (since you’re already locking at 30 FPS and FG adds latency without benefit at 60Hz). DLSS can be used in Quality mode if you want a small GPU load reduction, but expect some blurring in instruments.

🔧 Detailed Recommendations for FS2024 SU4 on RTX 3060 Ti (1080p/30 FPS cap)

Anti‑Aliasing Options

• TAA (Temporal Anti‑Aliasing)

  • Best balance of clarity and stability at 1080p.
  • Keeps cockpit gauges and text crisp.
  • Slightly heavier on GPU than DLSS, but at 30 FPS cap you won’t notice.

• DLAA (Deep Learning Anti‑Aliasing)

  • Similar to TAA but uses DLSS’s AI upscaler for smoother edges.
  • Preserves clarity better than DLSS Quality mode.
  • Recommended if shimmering bothers you.

• DLSS Quality Mode

  • Reduces GPU load, useful if you want higher terrain/object LOD.
  • Downsides: cockpit text and gauges can look blurred.
  • At 1080p, DLSS gains are modest compared to TAA/DLAA.

👉 Verdict: Stick with TAA or DLAA for sharp visuals. Use DLSS Quality only if you need extra GPU headroom for scenery detail.

---

Frame Generation (FG)

• FG is designed for high refresh rates (120Hz+) and uncapped FPS.
• At 30 FPS cap on a 60Hz monitor, FG adds latency and ghosting without benefit.
• It also complicates frame pacing when combined with external limiters (RivaTuner).

👉 Verdict: Disable Frame Generation. It’s not useful at 30 FPS lock.

---

Supporting Settings

• Render Scaling: Keep at 100% for clarity.
• Terrain/Object LOD: Around 100–120 for smoothness at 3060 Ti.
• Texture Resolution: High (Ultra is fine if VRAM usage stays under 8 GB).
• Clouds: Medium–High (big GPU hit at Ultra).
• Ambient Occlusion & Bloom: Medium or Off for performance stability.

---

🎯 Optimized Setup for You

• Anti‑Aliasing: DLAA (or TAA if you prefer absolute sharpness).
• Frame Generation: Off.
• FPS Limit: 30 FPS via in‑sim option (simpler than RivaTuner).
• LOD: 100–120.
• Textures: High/Ultra depending on VRAM usage.
• Clouds: Medium–High.

This combo ensures stable frame pacing, sharp cockpit visuals, and smooth performance without wasting GPU cycles on FG that won’t help at 30 FPS.

Again, does DLSS whatever help with AA and shimmering ?, I've never had performance issues.

Interestingly my details overlay says that I'm using 310.3 overridden by the Nvidia app even though 310.4 is installed and I've set the Nvidia app to use latest, though I'm new to the Nvidia app because it seems like the latest driver no longer supports G Force Experience.

Not sure if I need to uninstall nvidia Profile Inspector to solve it or there is something I've missed in the new Nvidia app.

DLSS Swapper don`t show me a DLSS 310.4 to download ( i am on MSFS2020 ) so i am still on 310.3 but i am happy with that Version..

cheers 😉
