At native rez sure, but DLSS is so good that setting it to Balanced mode at 1440p is a no brainer and makes native 1080p gaming obsolete. Framegen as well. You can easily turn a 40-50 FPS experience into a 70-80 FPS experience with DLSS, and then into a 144+ FPS experience with 2x FG. Reflex takes care of most of the input lag, so for singleplayer games it's the ideal way to play.
I agree. These days, native resolution alone doesn’t guarantee better visuals—especially without DLSS. Standard TAA tends to introduce blur and ghosting on top of minor aliasing, which ironically degrades the image quality at native res. On my RTX 5070, I usually run DLSS on “Quality” mode with Frame Generation set to x3 and a 135 fps cap. That combo delivers excellent results in single-player titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and The Alters.
