Spider-Man 2 at 360p with DLSS 4

Today we're testing the newly released Spider-Man 2 at the highest settings, with Nvidia DLSS Override. Is upscaling from 360p to 1080p acceptable with DLSS 4, and can we actually get a playable frame rate, even when we max out the Ray Tracing options too?
Test Setup:
Intel Core i7 12700F
32GB DDR4 3200
Palit RTX 4060 Dual
Windows 10

No, 360p was not a standard resolution back in the day... The majority of MS-DOS games were 320x200, or sometimes 320x240. There was no 360 vertical res in gaming back then. The next step beyond 320x200/320x240 was 640x400 or 640x480. Our monitors were still 4:3. Those resolutions were made to fit in that ratio.

Consider this my vote for more ultra-performance dlss reviews. I don't know if its possible, but I'd love to see 360p/480p upscaled all the way to 4k, though dlss might not have enough information to handle that?

[@Doc_Valparaiso]

I'm sensing that Nvidia's newest dlss model was created with the Switch 2 in mind. FSR can do some great things. But, it requires a much higher base resolution to achieve any sort of visual parity with a dlss image. And, once your game is in motion the dlss 4 transformer upscaler decimates fsr's efforts. I'm saying all of this as a fan of fsr too. The fact that it's free alone is great. PS5/XSX can still render a lot of games well above 1080p (and some not so much tbf) which gives FSR enough to deliver a compelling image. But, this new transformer model really shines in enhancing lower resolutions than we'd even consider on a PC. And, as much as I can attribute dlss 4's purpose for Switch 2 I'd be remiss w/o looking at how much UE5 cooks all GPU's.

[@eedoamitay3341]

Im ok with more raw performance and more artificial frames in new graphics cards, I think a mix of them is what would be ideal, but I understand for sure that people don't want just purely the artificial frames.

Not sure if this is upscaling from 360p, some details are just too small even for AI to upscale, like text on street signs.

[@astrea555]

it is but AI has almost nothing to do with dlss, most of the work comes from jittering the pixels and gathering details from multiple frames and then a larger res picture is reconstructed, AI only help with this last part. so even if each pictures is 360p it's gathering a lot more pixels to upsample.

[@KARLOSPCgame]

This got me questioning something Is this reading the texture the card has already in vram and its just guessing how it should look in the environment 🤔

[@no1DdC]

@@KARLOSPCgame It's not doing that. This would be far too computationally intensive, since it would then have to transform and light this texture anyway. Nvidia has trained an AI model with heaps of screenshots from games (used to be on a per-game basis, but they've been using general models instead for a long time) and this AI model then upscales a finished 360p frame buffer to full resolution. The UI gets rendered as a separate pass at full resolution and placed on top so that it remains sharp and readable at all times.

[@LuckyYeti]

It's been 10 years even before rtx released that I'm playing all game at 360p native resolution and ultra graphics to get better fps as long as better visuals, and people told me "you are a low end pc gamer". Buy now...!

[@kipchickensout]

saying "this is NYC in 360p" right as my KZbin decides to switch from playing 4k to 480p XD i was a bit confused for a while

[@alanamarko]

i know this is just a bit of fun but how you can say it looks even mildly okay is beyond me. do you need double strength prescription glasses? it looks horrendous!

[@ImNotRXZL]

Its 360p. 3 6 0

[@gosti500]

it looks leaps and bounds better than the older CNN model of DLSS

[@elBartoDR]

360p upscaled to 1440p and KZbin compression

[@RandomGaminginHD]

I mean for 360p it looks alright. Compared to just native 360p

[@Cptraktorn]

I love how you irrationally freak out and I'm assuming it's because you're emotionally invested in things being "Native" well, boot it up in native 360 and you'll see this looks better.

[@CrowbarBallad]

Tried Ultra Performance on Alan Wake 2 the day it dropped with native Path Tracing and holy balls is DLSS4 glorious!

[@ZulOrigin]

This given me back, my past low-end pc, playing AC 4 Black flag with 360 because that only pc I had. IF this technologies had back then, my experience AC 4 Black flag back then would be different

[@FunkyM217]

Well, if the latest idTech engine is worth a damn, Doom: the Dark Ages upscaled is going to run awesome. Hopefully once the 5060 hits, 4060s will be under £200.

[@derkleineaffe]

finally a yt channel that tests current games on the 4060. thx bro

[@nemure]

This was interesting but how do you make the game run in 360p? I have no clue where to even look

[@sonofodin5514]

I don't see where you set it to 360p? How does it work? Is windows set to 360p

[@steel5897]

We're basically into post-resolution territory now, running native resolution at high resolution screens is basically obsolete now. Makes all those bar chart GPU reviews look silly and outdated.

[@AverageGreg]

Hey. I know you're all about playing with DLSS 4 right now. But could you mess around with DLL swapping Xess 2.0 using DLSS Swapper on the B580?

[@gusthavo15yearsand98]

this actually looks crazy good and playable for ultra performance, makes me want to gtet an 3060 even more

[@AllAloneInUK]

For maximum immersion I recommend watching this video at 360p :D

[@StarsAtNight1]

Not bad for 360p but I don't think this is playable. Need some fake frames and up the resolution. Would be nice to test at what resolution dlss can decently upscale without all the artifacts popping everywhere.

[@eloyfarina]

Which part of the video are you showing that the resolution is 360p?

[@blairowens8912]

i mean that looks pretty good. try watching a youtube video in 360p

[@xodex78]

everyone gangsta until multiplayer enters the chat💀

[@twyx6928]

I shudder at the thought of future games requiring 360p base res to run above 60 fps, because DLSS can make it "look okay"

[@keyycee5547]

A lot of people say activate DLSS in your Game and after that do the APP step. Otherweise it doesnt work or sometimes doesnt work? Im not to sure but thats whata lot of youtubers say idk

[@RicochetSaw]

no wonder the pc release got like 0 advertizing... i literally thought it was still at least a year out

[@DoctorRover]

This might be how the Switch 2 does AAA/AAAA ports in handheld mode (with expected caveats)

[@Ethereal184]

Everyone complaining about this now. Put this on the switch and i think most won’t even care about the latency at that point

[@420Cris]

When watching make sure to set the video quality manually, the auto 1080p has much worse bit rate, which isn't accurate to how it actually looks.

[@Galog_]

so do i just set ingame resolution to 360p? thats how dlss works?

[@shivamshukla6539]

Bro it is awesome 😮😮😮 my 3070ti will be alive more atleast 4 to 5 years from today 😊

[@scyrra9908]

As a fan of the Xenoblade games i can confirm that's an upscaled 360p

[@SToad]

Sorry for the noob question but how is this 360p, is it because the game’s resolution is 1080p same as monitor and DLSS4 being 4x times it makes 1080p/4 to be 360p? Or is it monitor at 1080p and game resolution at 360p?

[@interceptionunit6666]

dlss ultra performance is upscaling from 33% of native res 33% of 1080p is 360p

[@SToad]

@@interceptionunit6666 Oohh, makes sense. Thank you, I will look up a chart of those %s.
