As much as I wish this was true, a lot of new games require you choose between lower settings or DLSS if you want to maintain 1440p resolution and a decent FPS.

This was true last generation with the 3090 (from personal experience) and it is true with this gen as well (based on second hand from my friends with current gen high end cards). You may not be running DLSS with a super high scaling factor but I almost guarantee DLSS or DLAA is going to be on for most games nowadays if you want to keep framerates stable on ultra.
