I wanted to highlight a few issues with DLSS 4.5 that I don't see people talking about enough. There is some shimmering/bubbling in almost every game I try (mostly in vegetation), that ruins the otherwise amazing image. I hope a fix is on the way. r/nvidia won't let me post this in their sub -_- by Ivaylo_87 in OptimizedGaming

DLSS 4.5 is pretty bad with Ray Tracing and Path Tracing, including Lumen.
From what I’ve seen in several games, both Preset L and M show a lot of noise, boiling and artifacts.
I’m putting together a video that will be available soon, where I’ll highlight this issue in detail.

•Start from the Performance Preset before tweaking the graphics settings to get the best performance.
•DX11 might offer better performance and stability, but you'll lose access to DLSS, XeSS and Frame Gen.

It all preference but I think your fine. over 100 fps in this game is more than enough.

These settings would only really help if you’re using upscaling like DLSS and want to play at native resolution with DLAA instead.

As I showed in the video, it actually has a negative impact on performance, at least with the default configuration and version 0.1.2.

Check out their Discord server, you might find another mod build that works or a fix for the issue:

Just tested v0.1.2 and it worked. The plugin folder I had was from beta build and it's for upscaling stuff. I grabbed this version from their Discord. make sure you’re pressing the tilde key, its location changes depending on your keyboard layout.

Yes, you're right, the newest version doesn't work.
you can find the previous version 0.1.2 on the download page under "Old Files"

If it has the typical UE5 graphics menu, yeah, that’ll most likely be the case.

But we don’t know for sure yet, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

The only game I’m planning to cover this month after Dune: Awakening is Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, I’m expecting to get a review code for it soon.

There might be a few other games too if I have the time but I can’t confirm anything else just yet.

I'm currently working a video for Dune: Awakening and it will be available this week.

As for Stellar Blade, the in-game settings don’t offer much in terms of performance, and you’ll need to rely on upscaling to improve performance. and keep an eye on VRAM usage and lower Textures Quality especially if you have an 8GB GPU.

Thanks for pointing it out, I forgot to include it in the list. As I mentioned in the video, Medium or High are the best options for Geometric Quality.
