Indeed, while I'm not allowed to show you any direct capture from the game just yet, I couldn't spot any discernible difference between Death Stranding's Very High settings and Very High with DLSS, so you might as well turn it on if you do happen to own an RTX card. I can't show you any Death Stranding screenshots with DLSS 2.0 at the moment, so you'll have to make do with these ones from Nvidia instead. It can also do this twice as fast as their original DLSS tech, leading to even better DLSS performance across the board. With DLSS 2.0, Nvidia have added several improvements to their upscaling tech, and they now say they can create images that are comparable to native resolution but which only use between 25-50% of the number of pixels.

It needs an RTX card's special AI-infused Tensor Cores to work, though, so anyone with a regular GTX card won't be able to make use of it. Instead, it uses AI to fill in the gaps, helping to boost performance and keep frame rates nice and high while theoretically producing a nigh-on identical image.

It's a bit like the checker-boarding techniques that Sony use in the PS4 Pro at the moment, allowing your graphics card to produce a higher resolution image without necessarily rendering each and every pixel. In case you've forgotten, DLSS is Nvidia's upscaling tech that uses deep learning (DL) to super sample (SS) images at higher resolutions. Previous DLSS games have often made us wait several months before it gets added in, at which point everyone's usually forgotten about the game in question and moved on to the next shiny thing. Still, it's good to see more games getting support for Nvidia's performance-boosting, AI-driven upscaling tech, and better still to see it arrive on the same day the game comes out.

That's an impressive feat for Nvidia's entry-level RTX graphics card, and pretty much guarantees that all RTX cards will be able to hit 60fps at 4K on max settings regardless of which one you happen to own - although given that the RTX 2060 was never really designed with 4K gaming in mind (it's more of a 1440p GPU in the great graphics card hierarchy), I'm not sure how many people out there will actually have the appropriate 4K monitor to take advantage of it. However, Nvidia have since confirmed that Death Stranding will also be getting DLSS 2.0 support when it comes out on July 14th, helping to boost those frame rates even higher if you own an RTX card - and from my own further testing, even an RTX 2060 will be able to hit a smooth 60fps at 4K with DLSS turned on. Some pics.We've still got two weeks to go until Kojima's post-apocalyptic deliver 'em up Death Stranding comes out on PC, but as my early performance tests showed yesterday, even GTX 1060 owners should be able to run the game at 60fps on max settings at 1080p. Mechanically speaking is a bit weird at first but you get used really quick once you start picking packages and exploring the first area which gives you a good amount of elements to get used (hills, river, rocky paths) and in general I loved that first walking with low roar in the background, seriously, I don't know if I will like this game at the end of the day but the first impression was good, really good. The premise is very interesting, characters are intriguing, the world is beautiful although yeah, doesn't look like the United States at all, hehe

Well, just finished the Prologue and here there are a few quick impressions.Īt the beginning of the adventure I noticed some micro-stuttering happening after the first cutscene, really weird but I turned off the game, installed latest Nvidia drivers and now everything runs nice, first cutscene still has some dips here and there as I'm guessing it's loading background stuff but aside of that, everything ran really well, over 80fps at every moment.
