DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4 – Preset L and M vs Preset K [4K]

In this video, I compare the new DLSS 4.5 vs the older DLSS 4 across 4 games, testing both visual quality and performance. I focus on the differences between presets and modes to see how DLSS 4.5 improves over DLSS 4.

Here’s what I cover for each game:

🟩 Performance Mode: DLSS 4 (Preset K) vs DLSS 4.5 (Preset M and L)
🟩 Ultra Performance Mode: DLSS 4 (Preset K) vs DLSS 4.5 (Preset M and L)
🟩 Quality vs Performance: DLSS 4 Quality (Preset K) vs DLSS 4.5 Performance (Preset M)
🟩 Native vs Upscaled: DLSS 4 Native (DLAA) vs DLSS 4.5 Performance (Preset M) and Ultra Performance (Preset L)

All tests were done on an RTX 4090 at 4K to show the best possible visuals.
