The PS5 equivalent settings should have upscaling set to balanced. Using DLAA will be massively affecting your frame rate.

Actually playing with ray tracing medium (path tracing indirect lightning also on medium), ps5 performance settings and dlss performance at 1440p,it looks a bit blurry but adjusting dlss sharpness to 0.5/0.6 in the renderer.ini file and disabling depth of field cleans the image, i hover between 30 and 60 fps in the alan sequences and the ray traced shadows are amazing.
Currently on a rtx 2070s heavily oced (almost 2080s performance) and ryzen 5600

What about Saga chapters? In my experience those are heavier on performance.

Is this type of performance with DLSS on consistent in all parts of the game?

Woods/ outdoors are most demanding Parts, in closet spaces games run better

Thank you for posting this! The 2080 Super really is still a beast in 2023. Yeah, it doesn't do ray tracing all that great, but for it to hit 50FPS, ON THIS GAME, is mind-boggling for me.
I do think I am going to go with the PS5 version if I do pick it up. Or wait on a sale/extra optimization on PC (not to say its bad!)

[@Jachas3D.]

I also think about ps5 version but i See digital foundry Look on graphics and i didnt like it there, pc Look better but in mine msi ventus version is so loud when i played, probably in ps5 will be mute all the time, do you Have 2080 super? Which version?

[@StrifeXTribal]

@@Jachas3D. I do have a 2080 Super! And I still very much love it. It is a straight-up Nvidia branded one. I recently got a new 27" LG Ultragear OLED Monitor and have my PS5+PC both hooked up to it. I feel that will squash some of the PS5 graphic issues. I am still on the fence though! I am waiting on Alex's PC tech review as well! His rasterisation video was cool though.
Hope you are enjoying the game!!!
