DLSS not working well in GTA 5 Enhanced? You might want to learn more about this setting

We all love a good FPS boost, but DLSS and Ray Tracing aren’t always the best options for everyone in GTA 5 Enhanced. Here’s why you might want to think twice before enabling them.

DLSS can be a real lifesaver for weaker GPUs, giving a nice FPS boost while using AI upscaling to keep the visuals sharp. But some GTA 5 Enhanced players say it doesn’t make much of a difference, whether it’s on or off. If that’s the case for you, here are some additional insights to help you understand what might be going on.

DLSS in GTA 5 Enhanced – Why this might not be a good option for everyone

Check out our other guides on migrating your character to GTA Online Enhanced Edition, fixing crashes and audio issues, or resolving error 7002.1 on Epic. And if you're wondering why HDR and text chat aren’t available, or whether there’s crossplay between PC and consoles, we've got you covered too.

If you're aiming for a solid FPS boost in GTA 5 Enhanced but don’t have a high-end PC, your first step should be turning on DLSS. Just remember that Ray Tracing is pretty demanding and can lower performance, so try turning it off and see how it affects your FPS.

Another important factor people often overlook is their monitor. DLSS works by upscaling from a lower resolution, so how effective it is depends on your monitor's native resolution.

The refresh rate of your monitor matters too. If you have a high refresh rate monitor (like 144Hz or 240Hz), DLSS can help your GPU hit those higher frame rates. On a 60Hz monitor, DLSS may not make as big of a difference unless you're struggling to maintain 60 FPS.

Remember that certain monitors (especially OLED and high-end IPS panels) show motion more clearly, so DLSS artifacts like blurring or ghosting might be more noticeable.

Keep these factors in mind if you’re having trouble maintaining a steady FPS in GTA 5 Enhanced. It’s all about finding the right settings for your PC, and experimenting with different options. What works for others might not be the best for you, so try tweaking things to get the best performance for your setup.

Been with gamepressure.com since 2019, mostly writing game guides but you can also find me geeking out about LEGO (huge collection, btw). Love RPGs and classic RTSs, also adore quirky indie games. Even with a ton of games, sometimes I just gotta fire up Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, KOTOR, or Baldur's Gate 2 (Shadows of Amn, the OG, not that Throne of Bhaal stuff). When I'm not gaming, I'm probably painting miniatures or admiring my collection of retro consoles.
