My understanding of DLSS is that it "upscales" an image from something like 1080p so that it resembles something closer to 4k.

When reading minimum system requirements or the capabilities of a graphics card, is DLSS factored in? For example, if I were looking at an RTX 5070 and the description says its ideal for 1440p, does that mean native 1440p or "upscaled" 1440p? Or can I just settle for 1080p and rely on DLSS to make the image look cleaner and closer to 4k?

Apologies if I haven't framed the question correctly, complete novice here.
