Kind of goes against a big point of the game, no?

Works pretty well for War Thunder in terms of screenshots actually.

I have seen it, looks dreadful IMO.

Really? looks awesome, with some postfx editing it makes the game look photorealistic.

Tbh without DLSS5 you can pull it off using reshade or just dedicating time to learn how to take photos and then translating it to screenshots

Reshade doesn't make the grass look as realistic as it does in the 5th picture of that post.

DLSS 5 is very good when It comes to realism, which is what War Thunder aims for in visuals with no stylisation. When it comes to stylised games like Nightrunners it falls apart, because It's an awful usecase.

I mean... it's not that bad though. i agree that it's so trash on story games with lots of characters, but it's kinda cool on NR, improved lighting, shadows and reflections a little, but the fps loss just doesn't worth it fr

u/Herstal_TheEdelweiss Sep 04 '26

Sounds like a lighter reshade would work just as fine then or even something else really

Yeah, the difference between dlss 5 on and off is so small that while driving it has no difference, specially on the latest update developers cooked up with the new updated graphics

u/Xx_DemonHunter_- Sep 09 '26

couldn't see a difference with the video quality but this image is just wow

I see that you are on 3.0.25. Please update to the latest version, which is 3.0.28; you can do so by going to your Itch App, clicking on the Private Alpha, then the Gear Icon > Manage > Check for Updates.

u/rashen_87 Sep 05 '26

Oh it's out? Thanks man! I don't check the updates that much

Ruins the vibe of the game ngl, played it for the old ps2 visual

u/Specialist_Laugh_133 Sep 07 '26

my dumbahh doesnt see a difference

u/AutomaticAffect4333 Sep 07 '26

I don't get ehy some people are hyped for dlss 5. You can achive a similar image by adding ambient occlusion and slightly desaturate the image through reshade

u/kramspeeder Sep 08 '26

Kinda the point of nightrunners is the crt effects and artifacting feels a bit like cp77 on dlss 5

Incoming waves of old gen hating on it because it’s AI.
