… AMD first launched FSR 4.1, a more advanced version of its AI-powered upscaling tech that boosts game performance and improves graphics and frame rates, for its Radeon RX 9000 series graphics cards back in March. …
… GeForce GTX 1660 Ti + Ryzen 5 3600 | 1080p Graphics Preset Medium High Ultra Native TAA 86 fps 63 fps 45 fps FSR 3.1.5 Quality 91 fps 67 fps 54 fps Thankfully, AMD's FSR 3.1.5 came to save the day here, with its Quality preset pushing the game comfortably into the 70+ fps territory at the High grap… …
… AMD offers AI-powered frame generation in its existing FSR suite, but that's limited to a 2x performance boost. MFG has been conspicuously absent from FSR, even when Intel's XeSS offers up to 4x frame generation. …
… With almost every title, I turn FSR on and get a solid frame boost, ranging from 10% all the way up to 50% depending on what I set it to, whether that's Quality, Balanced, Performance, or Ultra Performance . …
… Nvidia is also ahead with its support for older graphics cards, with its DLSS Transformer model being available all the way back to the RTX 20 series. AMD, on the other hand, only announced FSR 4.1 on older GPUs after consumer backlash to the initial exclusive support for the RX 90 series. …
… With the latest RX 90 series cards, AMD has even made strides in ray tracing performance, and its FSR stack now handily competes with DLSS. …
… Modern DLSS/FSR and motion reconstruction often match native 4K visually while boosting performance. …
… Related AMD's FSR is helping my 7-year-old Nvidia GPU crush Forza Horizon 6 Even without DLSS, an Nvidia GTX graphics card still runs the latest AAA racer on the block. …
… The performance penalty of ray tracing is still pretty high, which has made tools like DLSS and FSR the baseline rather than an option. The older your GPU, the fewer DLSS/FSR features it will support. …
… So far, community testing of AMD's INT8 implementation suggests that RDNA 2 cards could see a 10–20% performance overhead while using FSR 4 over FSR 3, while RDNA 3 fares a little better. …
