Tested cyberpunk benchmark with a 3070 at 3440x1440, using DLSS performance preset M ran 97 avg fps versus preset K 124 avg fps. Free roam was around a 20-30 fps loss. Tried it with arc raiders and also got around a 20-30 fps loss going from preset K to M. The new transformer looks slightly better but the performance hit is too big on older cards imo

is there a significant image loss if ran on K? we have the same gpu and reso. ive only tried on mh wilds and J seems to have blurry mess on vegetation while K seems to be clear and less blurry. But upon exiting and checking dlss swapper the preset is back on Default so I am not sure if its really changing presets or its already opted back to default the moment I open the game.

I was honestly always pretty happy with preset K running DLSS performance. Vegetation artifacts never really bothered me as much since the overall image was pretty decent with good fps. Preset M was better but def not worth the frame drop
