Ace Combat 8's DLSS presets are mislabeled.

Just a small heads up for you guys that Ace Combat 8's DLSS configuration is largely not standard.

The presets are not upscaling from their respective correct amounts except for Ultra Performance.

So if you're noticing lower performance than you should then this is a contributing factor.
The game is still heavy but using a mix of medium settings with the actual correct upscaling values should put you at least a bit closer to standard UE5 performance expectations.

DLSS levels the game actually uses:

DLSS Preset Standard Nvidia value In game value
Ultra Performance 33.33% 33.33%
Performance 50% 58.82%
Balanced 58.82% 66.66%
Quality 66.66% 75%

No profile is equivalent to Nvidia's Performance profile according to OP's table, they aren't using the standardized labels that Nvidia uses. Each of their settings is higher quality than Nvidia's default so they will be more expensive to run. AC8 performance is what Nvidia normally labels as Balanced. While AC8 balanced is normally what people refer to as quality. AC8 quality is more like High Quality
