Best Deadlock Graphics Upscaler for FPS and Delay 🚀
I tested upscalers specifically at 1440p. If there's enough demand, I will test for 1080p as well.
DLSS CNN, 2x. Best one overall for visual clarity with decent FPS and 3.7ms latency.
FSR2 TAA, 2x. Provides same FPS as DLSS CNN 2x, however a lot of shimmering appears on objects. I wouldn't use it.
Stretch at 70% render resolution. Gives best FPS and second best latency at 3.4ms. However some might not like "starry" / pixelated image.
Stretch at 55%. Provides best latency at 3.1ms (because GPU usage is down to 82%). FPS dropped slightly compared to 70% render resolution, even testing it a second time showed the same result.
DLSS Transformer, 2x. The worst performing one even at 2x resolution.
✅ In conclusion, DLSS CNN, 2x has the best of both worlds: image quality and FPS. If you are chasing extra frames, consider stretch at 70%.
