NVidia DLSS makes the game look blurry and does not improve performance

Question

Product: Battlefield VPlatform:PCPlease specify your platform model. PCAMD or Nvidia Model Number RTX 2070Enter RAM memory size in GB 16Which part of the game is the issue happening in? Game MenuIn which game menu were you when the bug occurred? Practice RangePlease select your region EuropeOn which server did this happen?When did this happen? (dd.mm.yy hh:mm) 13.2.2019 15.42Summarize your bug DLSS does not improve performance (in fact it seems to be worse by up to 5 fps), and makes the game look like the resolutions scale has been set to 75%.How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Enable NVidia DLSS in advanced graphics options.What happens when the bug occurs? The game looks blurry, performance does not improve.What should be happening instead? The game should look at least as good as with TAA Low enabled, but should have significantly better performance. A video by NVidia claimed a jump from 45 to 60 fps in BFV at 4K with a 2080Ti, so even at 1080p there should be at least a 10% or so improvement.‌Enabling DLSS makes the game look significantly worse than having TAA High or Low enabled with a 100% resolution scale. In fact it looks about the same as with either TAA setting and a 75% resolution scale, but unlike DLSS the lower resolution scale improves performance significantly (by about 20% in my testing).DLSS seems to decrease performance by about 5% compared to TAA High and resolution scale 100%.I have installed the latest graphics driver from NVidia.

To enable DLSS on my RTX 2080TI I had to enable DSR in nVidia control panel and upscale my native 1440p by 2.25 to get 4k selectable in-game.

Using the in-game scaling slider did not do the job, u need to use DSR.

Once I upscaled to 4k I could enable DLSS however...the game looks verrrrrrrry blurry, nothing crispy-sharp like UHD,not even TAA like, it feels 720p, hence I disabled it streight away☹️

It would be great if future patches would fix this:

A. If I could enable DLSS when using native resolution of my screen, i.e. 1440p

B. If it would not look that blurry. Otherwise there is rly little point on using this feature at least atm.

DLSS definitely gives me way more FPS but it leaves the game looking blurry and the image quality looking very bad so it disabled it right away. The fps increase just isnt worth the reduction in image quality. Hope they fix this somehow but with the way dlss works its probably doubtful.

I've read somewhere that DLSS is linked to specific resolutions (1080p, 1440p, 4k), but my monitor has a 1680x1050 resolution. So maybe this messes up the way DLSS works (???).

Then again I've seen many people claim their DLSS option was greyed out because their resolution wasn't suppported. My DLSS option was not greyed out and I did not have to apply any NVidia control panel hacks to get it to work either, so you'd think that means my resolution is supported...

I've tried setting the resolution to 1600x900 so that at least I have a 16:9 aspect ratio, but this doesn't help at all.

Perhaps the game internally upscales my resolution to 1080p to work with DLSS, and then downscales it to native again. That would at least explain the bad performance, but certainly not the blurryness.
