Is DLSS/FSR broken?

[Molex]

What is "actual DLSS" and what part of that doesn't work in FF?

Pretty much letting DLSS do its own thing, which is downscaling then upscaling your game. Problem : FF14's engine is so bad DLSS cannot work on it, so nothing happens. At best it can be used as a glorified FXAA, which barely does anything still because the game engine is refusing any post-processing.

With DLSS/DLAA Preset K the game looks really good. With other TAA implementations (yes, DLSS/DLAA/FSR >1/Xess are all TAA based) it looks way worse. It seems, that the engine does not generate proper velocity buffers and relies on optical flow engines. Optical flow engines also generate velocity buffers but these are very subpar. Preset K seems to fix it in some way.
