Sharpening	No built-in filter	Built-in (low value)
Fullscreen Mode	Windowed FS only	Works in all modes

Best DLSS Settings for Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Setting	Recommendation	Notes
DLSS Mode	Quality	Best balance for image quality
Display Mode	Windowed Fullscreen	DLSS doesn't work in fullscreen
Frame Generation	Enabled	Downgrade to v1.0.7 if ghosting
Ray Tracing	Optional	Heavy CPU impact

Recommended DLSS Versions

DLSS 4 (Transformer Model) - Latest technology with improved performance and visual quality. Use presets J or K for best results. Resolves previous issues.
DLSS 3.1 - Original shipped version (v3.1.13). Good performance but with known limitations.
DLSS 3.5 - Alternative stable version with good compatibility.

Note: If you experience ghosting or UI jittering with DLSS Frame Generation v3.1.13, consider downgrading Frame Generation to v1.0.7 while keeping DLSS at v3.1.13.

DLSS Performance Impact

Configuration	Native FPS	DLSS Quality	DLSS + Frame Gen
1080p (RTX 4070)	75+	110+	150+
1440p (RTX 4070)	50-60	80-100	120+
4K (RTX 4080)	30-40	60-80	120+

Results may vary based on GPU, driver version, and in-game settings. Frame Generation provides significant FPS boost but requires RTX 40 series or newer.

How to Enable DLSS in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor

Launch Star Wars Jedi: Survivor.
Go to Graphics Settings > Upscaling.
Select DLSS Super Resolution.
Choose your desired quality mode (Quality recommended).
Optionally enable Frame Generation for additional performance.
Apply settings and restart the game.

Important: Game must run in Windowed Fullscreen mode for DLSS to work properly.

Common DLSS Issues & Solutions

DLSS Not Working / No Performance Gain

Issue: DLSS option shows but doesn't provide performance improvement.
Solution 1: Switch to Windowed Fullscreen mode. DLSS doesn't work in true fullscreen.
Solution 2: Enable DLSS in the main menu, select quality level, exit game completely, then restart. Do not modify settings on restart - just continue.
Solution 3: Ensure resolution exactly matches your monitor's native resolution.

Grass Noise & Artifacts

Issue: Visible noise disrupting grass textures, especially at 1080p and 1440p.
Solution 1: Update to DLSS 4 with transformer model - resolves this issue.
Solution 2: Use DLSS Balanced mode instead of Quality.
Solution 3: Disable Ray Tracing if possible.

Ghosting & UI Jittering

Issue: Light saber trails and character edges show ghosting artifacts; UI has jitter.
Solution 1: Downgrade DLSS Frame Generation from v3.1.13 to v1.0.7 (keep DLSS at 3.1.13).
Solution 2: Update to DLSS 4 - improved ghosting handling.
Solution 3: Higher framerates reduce ghosting visibility (120 FPS is better than 60 FPS).

CPU Bottlenecking

Issue: GPU not reaching full utilization; poor performance at high resolutions.
Solution: DLSS Frame Generation helps bypass CPU limitations and increase framerate.

Compatible GPUs for DLSS

GPU Series	DLSS Support	Frame Gen Support
RTX 4090/4080/4070/4060	Yes	Yes
RTX 3090/3080/3070/3060	Yes	No
RTX 2080/2070/2060	Yes	No
RTX 5090/5080/5070/5060	Yes	Yes

Using DLSS 4 Transformer Model

DLSS 4 introduces a transformer-based model for superior image quality:

Preset J: Default transformer model - excellent quality with minimal artifacts.
Preset K: Alternative model configuration.
Benefits: Improved grass rendering, reduced shimmering, better detail preservation.
How to use:
1. Replace nvngx_dlss.dll with DLSS 4 version
2. Replace nvngx_glssg.dll with DLSS 4 Frame Gen version
3. Use NVIDIA Inspector or similar tool to set preset J for the game
4. Restart the game

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does Star Wars Jedi: Survivor support DLSS?
A: Yes, the game supports DLSS 3.0, DLSS 3.1, and newer DLSS 4 with Frame Generation support.

Q: What's the best DLSS mode for this game?
A: DLSS Quality mode provides the best balance between visual quality and performance. Use Balanced if you want even higher FPS, or Ultra Performance if you're heavily CPU limited.

Q: Can I use DLSS in fullscreen mode?
A: No. DLSS only works in Windowed Fullscreen mode. True fullscreen mode will not enable DLSS.

Q: Should I use DLSS 3.1 or DLSS 4?
A: DLSS 4 is recommended as it resolves the grass noise issues and improves overall image quality with the transformer model.

Q: What's the performance difference between DLSS and FSR 2.2?
A: In this game, both provide similar performance, but DLSS offers better image detail at far distances, while FSR 2.2 has better detail at close range. Choose based on which artifacts you prefer.

Q: Can I manually update DLSS?
A: Yes. You can replace the nvngx_dlss.dll file manually or use DLSS Swapper tool for easier management.
