Two more PC games have gotten DLSS support — a form of modern sorcery — from Nvidia, meaning anyone with a card that supports the tech will now be getting much better performance.

Even if you’re playing at some of the lowest settings imaginable.”]
Those games are Nioh 2 (which did not launch in the best shape) and Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord, which should both be getting framerate boosts of around 20-30fps (!!!) depending on your card.
That’s great news for anyone with a card that supports DLSS, but as we saw with Nioh 2, I’m starting to get a little worried — especially in this climate where buying graphics cards isn’t exactly simple — that developers might start using DLSS’ magic as a crutch for poor optimisation, and that’ll leave a lot of people whose cards don’t support DLSS out in the cold.
