Experimental OptiScaler Mod Halves DLSS 5's Performance Cost, Boosting RTX 5070 Ti From 80 To 122 FPS At 4K
A new experimental OptiScaler fork for DLSS 5 improves performance dramatically on the RTX 5070 Ti, reducing the performance penalty of Neural Rendering. This modification allows the Neural Rendering to be applied before the upscaling, resulting in frame rates jumping from 80 to 122 FPS at 4K. Users have reported a noticeable increase in playability without significant loss of image quality, although some concerns about visual impact remain.
