For a look at DLSS performance scaling, we first test Control using RT set High, and again with RT High with DLSS enabled. The Gaming X Trio sees an 81% performance uplift when enabling DLSS, which is in-line with the RTX 3080 (84%) and RTX 2080 Ti (91%).

For Death Stranding, frame rates are already very high in this game, and DLSS doesn't scale linearly – with the RTX 3090, we see DLSS providing a 33% boost to FPS, where with the RTX 2080 Ti, it provides a 47% performance uplift.
