- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
I'm one of those people that uses DLSS, because I've got a large fancy 4k monitor that is big enough that is looks like shit at lower resolutions.
DLSS is better than nothing but it's no replacement for native rendering, it introduces a heap of visual anomalies and inconsistencies, especially in games with a consistent motion (racing games look like shit with DLSS), so I tend to be having lows of 50fps on medium before I'll even think about DLSS.
I'm also pretty sure Nvidia is paying devs to have it on by default, because everytime it's patched into a game they clear all the current graphics settings to turn on DLSS, at least in my experience.
Just play in 640x360 and squint your eyes like we used to in the CRT days.
Or 1600x1200 when most LCDs were 1024x768.
CRTs really have gotten a bad rep, although they were great for a while still, after LCDs came on the market
and they are still great, if not better. I'd take a high-end CRT over a modern LCD any day.
I really wish there was still a market for new modern CRTs I'd have loved to have seen how that technology would've matured further
