Dlss 4

Good morning I would like to know if your game is compatible or will be compatible for DLS S4 and presumably when will this happen? A thousand thanks

Then apologies. The exact same question has been asked repeatedly this past week or so, so if that was someone else then my mistake.
 
You can already run Planet Coaster 2 on DLSS 4. Officially supported by Nvidia. I've been running it for the last few days, it runs fine. It's a great improvement for image quality in Planet Coaster 2.

Just use the excellent DLSS swapper tool to swap the DLSS files out yourself. It's quick, easy and now supports DLSS4. It's good for all games, actually.

Google is your friend.

With this you can have DLSS4 up and running in Planet Coaster 2 in minutes.

DLSS, version 310.2.1 is the very latest version, also known as DLSS4. Super resolution has the much nicer transformer AI model, giving a much cleaner picture.

With DLSS 310.2.1 (version 4) any card from the RTX 20 series and above can use the much improved transformer model for DLSS Super Resolution, to properly use the new frame generation feature of DLSS 4, you will need a 40 or 50 series card. For multi frame generation you need a 50 series card.

This tool is excellent for updating DLSS to different versions in any game, it saves having to wait for developers to update their game, you can do it quickly and easily yourself.

If you don't want to use a third party tool, you can use the DLSS override setting in your Nvidia settings up under the graphics tab, setting it to the latest version after selecting Planet Coaster 2, this will force the game to use the latest version of DLSS. Both ways give the same results, just up to personal preference

To use DLSS override or updating to the latest DLSS through DLSS swapper, you need to make sure your on the latest Nvidia driver.

All in all, you can be running DLSS 4 within minutes on Planet Coaster 2.

You will get lower FPS with DLSS 4 over DLSS 3. The base rendered frames will be lower, so a more aggressive DLSS setting might be needed to get the same FPS as before. This is because the new transformer model of DLSS 4 is quite a bit more computationally intense than DLSS 3's CNN model, 4x more runtime power is needed infact, meaning your GPU is having to do more work to run DLSS, leaving less room to run the game. You can make this shortfall up by using a more aggressive DLSS setting however, what you do get is a much improved image quality with much less ghosting. The lower overall performance is a well worth tradeoff though.

I think you mis understand how DLSS works. Yes it increases frame rate by rendering the game at a lower resolution and then using AI to upscale the image.

The new DLSS uses a completely new AI model that uses much more graphics card horse power, to just run the DLSS. This is horse power that would be used to otherwise render the game.

This means that on some games, while your FPS is still higher than native, using quality setting on DLSS 3.5 can have higher FPS than the same quality setting on DLSS 4, due to the aforementioned overhead needed to run DLSS.

This isn't uniform across all games though, while on both DLSS 3.5 and 4, you are getting higher FPS, the amount it increases by on 4 can be lower. What you do get however, is a much better overall picture and still boosted FPS.

But to be fair, even the performance mode in DLSS 4 can look as good as the quality mode in DLSS 3.5, so the performance loss can be pretty much mitigated by running a more aggressive DLSS setting, with no loss to image quality than what you would have on an older DLSS version.

Google how to use DLSS Swapper to find out how to do it.
