I ran a DLSS 4.5 versus FSR 4 blind test on my own games, and the result wasn't the landslide everyone claims
… The second rig solved the problem that has affected every DLSS versus FSR comparison to date. …

… Here’s what I settled on: Dynamic resolution: Off Upscaler type/Upscaler quality: AMD FSR / Balanced Frame generation: Off Motion blur: Off Camera effects: On Chromatic aberration: Off Raytracing mode: Off Character quality: Ultra Low Hair strands: Off Post effects: Very Low Particles quality: Ultr… …

… The whole point has always been to reduce loss of quality while improving performance, and while DLSS did take a while to "get good," FSR took longer. Today, FSR Redstone what AMD calls the FSR 4 suite , while technically sharing the same "number" as DLSS 4.5, is simply not up to par. …
… I ran the game with both FSR 4 and DLSS 4.5 Preset M on the Quality Preset alongside LS1 through Lossless Scaling. …
… Sure, RDNA cards are pretty rough today, even with their FSR implementation, but for the most part, FSR Quality does keep the image quality intact. …
… Much like DLSS 4.5, FSR 4 is markedly better than its previous iteration, and the first thing it clearly does is unlock more aggressive presets like FSR Balanced and FSR Performance as genuinely usable settings that still deliver remarkable image quality, all while ensuring performance gains over n… …
… FSR debate, too. Almost 97% of the games that support upscaling also support DLSS, while the same number for FSR is only 72%. …
… Be that as it may, finally unlocking modern FSR image quality on existing Radeon hardware is definitely the kind of longevity that AMD really should have offered from the beginning, à-la Nvidia and DLSS 4.5. …
