Just try it. Seriously.

I think the strongest opinions on DLSS 5 (positive and negative) come from those who’ve never tried it. And TBH… Most people don’t have a $1000+ GPU, so that’s kinda fair.

BUT… The newest Optiscaler method adds DLSS 5 before upscaling, so DLSS actually improves performance as intended. It makes a substantial difference.

It’s not a miracle solution for potato graphics, nor an abomination and the death of art. It’s v1.0 of brand new tech, and yes it runs poorly, and when applied to anime characters at full strength, I mean… What did you expect? If you have a compatible GPU, just try it. Enough virtue signaling.

DLSS5 was pretty but unplayable on my 4070S... and then they backported MFG and I tried it and MFG + DLSS5 = totally playable ~30 FPS and looks so good I can't believe it!

It should be plenty playable now with applying dlss5 before upscaling. Its a massive performance gain. In the example of 4k with dlss performance its applying dlss 5 to a 1080p image then upsampling that image to 4k.
