unfortunately not even DLDSR can sort out the game engine made by SCS... back to SGSSAA.
Update - maybe I spoke too soon, after playing for 1 hour it seems the AI powered DLDSR is getting increasingly better.

alright this is how ATS with DLDSR in work looks like
image will look sharper with the cost of more visible aliasing
somehow smoothness setting doesn't seem to apply on my PC so I suppose DLDSR is running with 0% smoothness

Use the ingame SMAA on top of the DLDSR or use FXAA from NCP.

I'd say that grill looks weird with SMAA but it looks good enough that I might stop using NPI

Hopefully it will get better and better in time like DLSS has.

At least with the new Freestyle filters we can have some kind of ambient occlussion while using Inspector.

just one note for people trying MSAA: in-game SSAO still looks silly so maybe it's better turned off
and if you are not using SGSS, you can use Reshade instead of Freestyle if I'm not wrong

After further testing I can honestly say that DSR 1.78x DL looks similar to 2x SGSSAA and 2.25x DL looks similar to 4x SGSSAA. Both with significant better performance than SGSSAA. Sure, there still are some issues with slight shimmering in the distance but mostly it seems NVIDIA has finally done it.

One question, my screen resolution is 2560x1440 ,
I set DLDSR to 2.25x and set the resolution to 3840x2160 in the game, so do I still need to set scaling?

You can leave it at 100% but if you have a powerful PC you can set it higher if you wish or feel the game still doesn't look good enough... Also, it might be a good idea to generate a fresh config.sys file now, different from the one used for SGSSAA and the multimon_config.sys is also no longer needed.
