Black Mirror is at it again. Several years ago, Bandersnatch, a special spin-off episode of the anthology series, which tells dark, cautionary tales about the use of technology, turned heads for putting interactivity directly in a TV show. You were able to, by using simple either-or choices, choose which path the story took, to a degree.

Based on our years of testing games and isolating specific DLSS issues within these titles, we decided to go back and re-test DLSS pain points, swapping out the old convolutional neural network (CNN) model for the brand-new transformer alternative with a view to seeing how well the new technology copes in known trouble spots.
