YouTube channel Frozburn released a 19-minute DLSS 5 Neural Rendering test video for Batman: Arkham Knight, comparing visuals and performance with DLSS 5 enabled and disabled. The test was conducted at 4K resolution using the RenoDX DLSS 5 mod and the DLSS Feeder plugin. All graphics settings were set to maximum.
Test Video:
CPU: 9800X3D
GPU: MSI RTX 5090
RAM: 6600 CL26 FCLK 2200
Motherboard: X870E Nova WiFi
Power Supply: NZXT C1500 Platinum ATX 3.1

Video Notes:
"Just a heads-up, the actual FPS loss is greater than it appears because I used Reshade on both sides to add some extra visual effects (without it, the image looks a bit flat). Also, the DLSS 5 plugin in Reshade on the left wasn't completely disabled; even if not actively used, merely keeping it enabled might consume an additional 30 frames.
The actual FPS difference can be seen at 9:54. However, this isn't always the case. Most of the time, the game runs at around 200 FPS or lower, while some less demanding areas can reach around 350 FPS.
The drop in FPS is indeed significant,but I really like how most suits look with DLSS 5 enabled. Once turned on, their colors become deeper and less washed out, reducing that plastic-like appearance. They also look better from behind.
The video also features several custom Batman suit mods, including the Batpod. However, I don't mind the lower FPS in this game too much. Some games remain enjoyable even with lower frame rates, as long as they don't suffer from constant stuttering—meaning the 0.1% Low and 1% Low metrics aren't excessively poor.
If you found this video somewhat helpful, please consider liking it to boost its algorithmic recommendation. Feel free to leave any questions in the comments. Thank you!"
