I went back to native resolution for a week, but Nvidia’s DLSS still made it feel like the wrong choice

I’ve been gaming ever since this century started, and I spent the first two decades gaming at native resolution. In 2020, however, I bought an RTX 2070 Super, and ever since then, I’ve been a believer in Nvidia’s DLSS technology. It started off shaky, as all things tend to do, but today, DLSS is inarguably the strongest and most popular rendering technique in video games.

I’ve stated time and again how native resolution simply isn’t the gold standard anymore, and yet, I still decided to try going back to it once again. After all, what could be the harm in trying to get the sharpest image quality possible? After half a week spent trying to game at native resolution once again, I returned, once again, to my DLSS comfort zone, which has genuinely begun feeling better than native gaming.
