TLDR;

Yes, you should. DLSS has gotten to the point where there's virtually no difference between it on vs native and usually comes with a significant performance jump. If you value frames you leave this on.

DLSS is such a good feature on PC. Delaying Series X until getting ful RDNA2 in order to have DirectML so a feature like that is possible on consoles was a very good move, is going to pay off once it’s implemented in games like the other features that they were waiting to get like VRS.
