Does The Finals have DLSS?

You may be wondering if The Finals will use DLSS, especially with the game available in beta right now. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know.

The Finals is a free-to-play, multiplayer shooter currently in its beta version. It is based on arena combat and allows players to compete in squads of three to four players competing in a series of matches. The twist is that this is no ordinary war-games simulator. It’s is a dystopian satirical take on the old war-games blue print. Players compete against each other in an enormous gladiator-meets-game-show set up. The goal is to bank as much cash as you can, but it won’t be easy.

You can play it on PC by requesting access on the The Finals’ Steam page. (Scroll down to ‘Join the The Finals Playtest’ and hit ‘Request Access’).

It’s coming from an exciting mix of ex-DICE developers and has had gamers buzzing about the upcoming release, although no official release date has been posted. Beta testing is still ongoing and the Official Closed Beta Trailer was only released 12 days ago. Fortunately, it lived up to the initial teaser in both gorgeous graphics and exciting gameplay. No wonder everyone is now wondering if The Finals has DLSS.

Here’s what we know.

Does The Finals have DLSS?

In short, yes. NVIDIA have announced that players will have the opportunity to enable DLSS in The Finals to enhance the graphics and maximise the user experience.

This announcement came with the exciting addition that players will also have the ability to enable RTGI’s ‘Dynamic Mode’. This will allow the player to experience game reactive lighting changes, responding to both in-game destruction and atmospheric fog and smoke. The amazing visuals are supported by ray tracing.

What is DLSS?

DLSS is an acronym for Deep Learning Super Sampling. What that means in reality is not as complicated as it sounds. Deep Learning Super Sampling is essentially a video rendering technique to boost framerates. How it works is that the frames are rendered at a lower resolution, then passed through an AI that then upscales the frames at a higher resolution and displays them at the original framerate.

The most common form of DLSS is DLSS 2.0. This is powered Tensor Cores by GeForce RTX GPUs. Nvidia claim that DLSS 2.0 only renders about a quarter to a half of the pixels, but still manages to produce crystal clear images. As games gain increasingly complex and realistic graphics, that kind of power is becoming more and more desirable.

What does this mean for me?

While the game is still in it’s beta stage, we can’t say what specs gamers will definitively need for the final version. We don’t even know for sure if you’ll need a controller. However, Embark Studios have released the recommended system set up needed to play the beta version. Here’s the break down.

• The minimum video requirements are: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970.
• The recommended video requirements are: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1160 SUPER.
• The recommended RTX video requirements are: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070.
• The recommended Ultra RTX video requirements are: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Ti.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does DLSS improve performance?

Yes, DLSS has a significant impact on performance. DLSS dramatically improves game play and graphics. With Tensor Cores as the powering force, DLSS uses AI to dramatically upscale image rendering while allowing high framerates.

Is DLSS only for 4K?

DLSS works at all resolution levels with significant performance increase at 4k, 1080p and 1440p. The only issue you may run into is if your game is not compatible with DLSS, so it is important to check compatibility first.
