AI summary — not a quote

NVIDIA DLSS is widely regarded by the Reddit community as the premier upscaling technology, consistently praised for its superior image stability and quality compared to competitors like AMD's FSR. Users value it for providing significant frame rate improvements, particularly in demanding scenarios like ray tracing, while often maintaining a visual experience that rivals or occasionally exceeds native resolution through its integrated anti-aliasing.

Pros

  • Significantly better image quality and stability than FSR.
  • Provides a substantial FPS boost, especially in ray-traced or path-traced games.
  • Superior anti-aliasing that reduces jagged edges and can look better than native AA solutions.
  • Effective at making 1440p or 4K gaming viable on mid-range hardware.

Cons

  • Can introduce blurriness compared to native resolution, especially at lower internal render scales.
  • Visual quality and performance gains vary depending on the specific game implementation.
  • Some users find the visual improvements over competitors to be negligible or unnoticeable during active gameplay.

Top excerpts

DLSS Quality outputting to 1440p will render at 1707x960 internally. As that's only slightly less than 1920x1080, you won't notice much performance benefit compared to that resolution, but you will get better picture quality than outputting at 1080p and having your monitor upscale to 1440p.

With DLSS performance I manage 4k/60/high+ (no RT obviously) no problem with a 4070Ti and 11700K and DDR4

Native DLSS and FSR 4 is antialiasing solved.

DLSS does a wonderful job in that regard and in this game I can barely notice any ghosting or other DLSS artifacts.

AI summary — not a quote

Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is widely regarded as the "gold standard" utility for completely removing graphics drivers. It is the go-to recommendation for users switching between GPU brands (Nvidia to AMD or vice versa) and for troubleshooting persistent issues like black screens, BSODs, or driver conflicts that standard uninstallers fail to resolve.

Pros

  • Effectively removes all driver remnants and registry traces that standard uninstallers leave behind.
  • Highly effective at resolving driver-related stability issues, such as black screens and BSODs.
  • Essential tool for switching GPU manufacturers to prevent software conflicts.
  • Helps fix specific display bugs like incorrect native resolution or refresh rate limits.

Cons

  • Some users report technical hurdles, such as options being greyed out in certain configurations.
  • The process can be intimidating for novice users unfamiliar with system-level maintenance.

This is the most common, best tool for doing that.

If you are using a different gpu in the new rig, you will need to use DDU in safe mode to wipe the drivers for your old gpu before you install the drivers for your new gpu.

Download Display Driver Uninstaller, and uninstall your AMD drivers (not always necessary, but good practice).

Just use DDU to uninstall the NVIDIA drivers, then install the AMD ones.

After follow your advice, i used the DDU to clean everything that was on my pc from my old graphics cards( RX 6650XT AND GT 210) and i made an clean installation of the driver from the Nvidia game ready app, after that the PC is now working 100% without black screens on the boot, thank you so much for you help!
