Absolutely, I am 110% happy it exists and is put in games, more tools in the box for tweaking the experience to your liking, and it's awesome for older cards, especially those for which XeSS is too computationally heavy to get maximum benefit from.
However, to keep hearing from AMD users who can't and don't use DLSS, that FSR is better because in stills it applies more sharpening
, becuase to them sharpening = quality and lets ignore the other multitude of immersion breaking artifacts, and we're somehow the ones that are delusional/lying, can't see properly, (insert makebelieve reason here), is just outright bulldust. Yet here we are, seeing it in every comparison thread. Somehow, an opinion on DLSS from those who have a outspoken bias against Nvidia/DLSS and can't even use it themselves just feels absolutely worthless to anyone who doesn't share that exact bias, and still it so happens those are the people that scream the loudest about it sucking, you can't make this crap up.

Also to me all upscale methods make the image too soft and frame gen adds noticeable input delay that i hate.
So in the end i decided to simply use "optimized" settings instead of making the game look blurrier (trees mostly) and adding input delay so see a bigger number in framerate. Also every single upscaling method screwed up distant particles (fire embers).
Im not opposed to using Nvidia's tech but only if it benefits me with minimal performance cost, like HBAO+
Also downloaded some mods:
Ghost of Tsushima Desktop Icons: Much better than the all black one that is hard to see on desktop and task bar.
Fast Launch (Skip Startup Videos): One of the first things i do for every new game:
Fast Launch (Skip Startup Videos)
Makes the game launch instantly by automatically skipping startup videos.

I hope someone takes and AI upscales all the textures for a mod as some of the texture quality is not that great. Obviously this will increase VRAM requirements. Currently the game seems to be using about 9GB at 1440p with max texture related settings.
