I don’t need a side by side to know the difference. DLSS is better in performance hands down. To get the same performance with FSR I have to sacrifice other settings if I can get there at all.

I support game producers being free to implement whatever tech they choose to work with. That said, I find it kind of stupid to side with NVIDIA promoting their exclusive DLSS over an open standard when the quality different is only noticeable in side-by-side comparisons.
The game has both DLSS and FSR? Great. The game only has FSR? Well, that’s more inclusive than DLSS-only. Everybody benefits with open standards.

yeah, some people might tell, I don’t think it’s worth the trade-off of excluding a large part of the market.
NVIDIA doesn’t even respect their own user base. I have a 3080 and can’t use DLSS 3.
AngryMob@lemmy.one 1 year ago
Nobody wants exclusion of any technology, thats the entire point. Especially when its been shown repeatedly that once you implement one of the 3 (fsr, dlss, xess) techs, the other 2 take almost no effort to add in as well. So little effort that modders have managed to shove them in to games that exclude them for whatever reason, sometimes achieving it in a matter of hours.
All that said… Dlss is definitely better quality than fsr. “Some people might tell” is an understatement.
Your 3080 cant run frame generation because it wouldn’t improve your framerate with that gpu architecture. Just like software dlss wont improve framerate on a 1080.
Nvidia isnt some boogeyman holding back these techs because they just want to force people to buy new cards. They are definitely making tech that only works on the newest cards to try and get more sales, dont get me wrong, but its not arbitrary.

No one is saying FSR should be excluded.
Though if there’s only going to be one hardware agnostic upscaler then I’d rather it be XESS than FSR.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
afaik it has the same problem of DLSS of being exclusive though
newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I got a 3080 and I would never want to use DLSS 3 anyways. Keep that stupid ass fake frame generation away. I can put up with upscaling, but that’s pretty much where I draw the line. Fake frames might make it feel smooth, but I’m not into this hobby for the feels.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
that’s fair, I’m absolutely in it for the feels haha
I just play to have a good time

No exclusives at all are as bad for the gamer economy as only exclusives.
I’m interested in the next version of FSR, it’s rumored to include frame generation.
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 1 year ago
No exclusives at all are as bad for the gamer economy as only exclusives.
Can you elaborate on that? I don’t see a clear benefit of exclusives to the user base or industry in general, only to those involved.

Tell that to people running a 1080Ti or 1660. They can’t have dlss but fsr works great for all.
BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I’m not against open formats that aren’t hardware dependent. I’m just disagreeing that a difference can’t be seen other than side by side.
the_q@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The problem is its artificial performance. Frame generation that makes your fps counter have a bigger number isn’t the same thing as your GPU being able to sustain that bigger number through actual performance.

I keep seeing things for BG3 saying to enable DLSS but it only has FSR in the options. I have an AMD CPU, but an nVidia GPU (and it is DLSS compatible). IDK why they keep saying to turn DLSS on in the game when the game doesn’t seem to use it.
NewNewAccount@lemmy.world 1 year ago
BG3 does indeed support DLSS.
phx@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Yeah, and Nvidia is pretty guilty for time and time again trying to lock people into proprietary solutions, while AMD introduces public standards like (Freesync comes to mind)
