Thanks for the helpful explanation. Still though, and I guess this is my hang up with the whole thing, is in my fiddling around I can still generally just get better looking results and more smoothness and FPS by simply lowering graphics settings and still just leaving DLSS off. Is it just more-so something you'd use if your pc struggled to run something even on low settings?

I'm also just not too hung up on frames though, I mostly play simulators and strategy games so I want to to be as good looking as possible while just being smooth enough to not notice any choppiness. Even when I am playing Tarkov the only thing that interrupts smoothness and FPS is network-related
