DLSS 4.5 vs Game Engine | 4% Native Resolution - Explained!

In today’s technical deep dive on Nenad BENCH, we are pushing NVIDIA DLSS 4.5 to its absolute breaking point. I’ve modified the internal resolution scaling to just 0.2, which means we are rendering at only 4% of native 4K (approx. 432p) and upscaling it all the way back to 2160p.

The Question: Is AI reconstruction doing all the heavy lifting, or does it all come down to the Game Engine?

To achieve this extreme 4% scaling, I used DLSS Tweaks to override the standard scaling factors, forcing Preset L to see if AI can truly "hallucinate" 96% of the missing data.

The results are shocking. While Death Stranding 2 (Decima Engine) looks "crystal clear" even at these impossible settings, Crimson Desert completely collapses, showing a black screen or failing to render properly. This proves that DLSS acts like a magnifying glass for optimization, it can only work with the data the engine provides.
