It really depends what type airplane (glass or analog instruments) you fly and how powerful your RTX GPU is, again as Daniel Owen has shown in his DLSS 4.5 youtube I posted above. in the analog Baron I get fantastic results with preset M and DLSS Balanced in MSFS graphics settings. no more disturbing moiree caused by fine stripes on building/hangar textures or flicker along fences.

we'll probably all have to find our individual favorite setting, while we wait for the holy grail of DLSS 5 and RTX 6090.

I think people will need to take out a 10 year loan to buy the 6090 at the rate things are going.

I used the swapper and did nothing with the registry. I install my drivers with NVCleaninstall program so I get nothing but the driver from NVIDIA on my system. 

the reg edit is used to show what DLSS mode you are in by mean of a screen display - you can do that (Alt Z) and change DLSS modes using the Nvidia app now.

It is probably more likely that the 6090 will not be available for gamers, but fear not! They will be able to offer you an RTX 3060 8GB as a compromise

by then we all won't be flying anymore, the AI will do the flying for us, we will just look out the VR goggles windows from our 1st class reclining seats and think "remember the old days when we had to play with Nvidia app, swapper,  traffic tools, addons linker, control settings, AVSIM forum....". what a wonderful life this will finally be. those with lower budgets have to sit in coach by the aisle, unfortunately.

I just ran DLSS Swapper and noticed there is a new version 310.5

"New DLSS Version 310.5"

to be precise: the new DLSS (a term for NVidias new implementation of Deep Learning Super dumpling 😃)  is version 4.5 and the corresponding DLL (dynamic link library), a file in your games directory that executes the new DLSS 4.5 code, is version 310.5

Thanks for that precise clarification.

Yesterday I used the PMDG 777 and had no ghosting other than the speed tape on decel upon landing. Altitude tape was fine. Today flying the iniBuilds A350, the altitude tape starts ghosting around 2500fpm. Is it the best? No, but the overall picture quality and lack of jagged lines in the distance make this very much doable. 4.5 IMO is a game changer for me at least. I can put up with just a touch of ghosting mentioned above for much better results vs. TAA. Also with 4.5, the night lights are just as bright and crisp as TAA now which was another drawback of the older DLSS versions. By the way, I am using DLSS-DLAA mode so no downscaling and upscaling and I’m on a 4k TV.

What preset ate you on?

M?

Thanks

For those with 20-series and 30-series cards, are you seeing improvements in terms of performance and quality with preset K on DLSS 4.5 or are you reverting back to 4.0?

3080 here. Sticking with 4.0 preset K. Fps better than 4.5 and less artifacts.

Is there anything here at all if you use DLAA?  For me, it seems that I have lost a fair bit of performance in DLAA since installing the new Nvidia driver and DLSS 4.5.

I wonder that too.  In VR with my 5090, DLAA gives me the best image quality for the aircraft I sim fly, but with with the new driver and DLSS 4.5 FPS was noticeably less.  After giving DLSS Quality a try, it was at best a wash compared to pre-update DLAA.  Ended up reverting back, for MSFS isn't the only thing I run.

Yes, M. The other one, from what I understand is only good for the Ultra Performance setting.

Just went to a 5060ti OC for the 16gb VRAM from a 3060ti for $430.

Switched from FSR3 to DLSS with 4x FG.  Looks great.

Kewl and quiet.

I'm on a 4080. Installed latest driver, made changes to prefix according to instructions and the regedit shows 4,5 dlls.

Drop in fps and problems with panning. Back to older drivers and problem gone. Probably somtehing I did (or did not do) but 4.5 is not for me. 

I love the DLSS 4.5 SuperResolution component, because as a VR only flyer: DLSS FrameGen does not work in VR, so our only option to increase fps with every in-game settings equal is to adjust and try out the various Model Presets and SuperResolution upscaling (Quality-Balanced-Performance etc). I am happy with DLSS 4.5 because I am not obsessed with the "vertical speed tape decimal values are blurry in glass cockpits above 2.800 ft vertical speed".

I am impressed how good DLSS 4.5 looks and performs in VR considering less than 1/2 number of pixels are rendered by the game (67% resolution in 2D) in QUALITY mode (2.0 million 2D pixel upscaled to 4.5 million pixel to Pimax VR), all the others are "fake pixels" just like FrameGens "fake frames" 🤣.

But in return, we VR users have one advantage: we can always move our head closer to the instrument panel to better see the fine print, a feature 2D mode users usually don't have (unless Toby eye tracker perhaps).

With DLSS upscaling I usually get around 60 fps with a Pimax Crystal Light (vs. 30 fps in FS2020 with HP Reverb at much lower resolution), 60 fps is a fantastic value for VR where everything needs to be rendered twice, (120 fps with in FrameGen 2D).
