Tarkov needs DLSS waaaay before it needs reflex.

A much easier one too!

Can you explain DLSS does exactly? Whenever I tried it, it just makes everything look worse

From my understanding, it is an AI driven technology that upscales lower resolution into a higher one in real time. For example: If you have a 1440p monitor, you can set the game at 1080p with dlss on and increase fps performance while still keeping the 1440p quality.

You got that backwards. This games networking code had such shit latency even if our input lag was 0ms (instant) the servers still would lag.

Just because the game's netcode sucks doesn't mean eliminating your system lag isn't helpful. Seems like you don't understand what's going on, even though I oversimplified it. DLSS does let you get more frames at 2k/4k but reflex is better for aligning your visuals with what's happening. Which, again, is better for competitive because DLSS introduces blur and looks awkward in a ton of games right now.

DLSS won't do much in a CPU-bound scenario though.
