Most gamers aren't actually using DLSS 4.5's new transformer model — here's why and how to fix it
Many gamers are not utilizing the new transformer model in DLSS 4.5 due to its complexity. Nvidia's recommendations for presets can lead users to stick with older models that may not provide the best performance. Understanding the differences between the presets is crucial for optimizing gaming experiences.
- ▪DLSS 4.5 introduces two new model presets that confuse many gamers.
- ▪Using Balanced or Quality modes defaults to the older Preset K, which relies on the first-gen transformer model.
- ▪Nvidia recommends Preset K for better performance, even though it may not utilize the latest technology.
