Pretty impressed with XeSS. It has come along way in a short amount of time. Hope FSR 3.1 is good as well.
-
Its crazy how fast intel is catching up on the software side. Hopefully their hardware will start matching that.
-
FSR 3.1 is way overdue, and DLSS just keeps getting better which is great to see.
-
One of the things I love about DLSS is being able to swap in new DLLs, tweak the presets, and use tweaks to switch from DLSS to DLAA for games that don't need more FPS.
-
I've been experimenting with XeSS 1.3 and it's very close to DLSS now, will be a huge win for people with older GPUs along with FSR 3.1 frame generation
-
Amd never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity😂
-
The Clouds in Avatar are not a problem with DLSS itself, but with the Implementation. PureDark's DLSS 3 mod for Avatar fixes that issue completely. If I remember correctly, the developers have not passed the depth buffer correctly to DLSS and that was a relatively easy fix from PureDark's side.
-
FSR 3.1 (or any improvement) rollout has been moving at a snails pace, AMD needs to get their stuff together
-
As a PC user I'm happy all fronts of upscalling are getting better and excited to see FSR 3.1 even if I'm mostly a DLSS user, and as an console user I'm praying that FSR 3.1 drops soon and that studios update their FSR2 games to FSR3 please (maybe PSSR and the probable Sony upscalling API helps with this?).
-
Please do more of these upscaling comparisons with different versions
-
This is my favorite category of DF videos, excellent work as always Alex
-
Thank you so much for this comparison, a lot of info to digest... I had no idea we can use different models with DLSS with the same .dll.
-
Hi Alex, great video!. Do you think developers should skip FSR2 entirely and rely on XeSS DP4a for compatibility? Does XeSS DP4a work on consoles?
-
Can't wait to see what PSSR is capable of
-
Thank you for demonstrating how to tweak the preset letter
-
Next on board, FSR 3.1 and PRSS. Amazing work Alex!!!
-
XeSS has really come a long way quickly. I'd now take even the DP4a gladly. Sad that we didn't see framerate comparisons in the videos!
-
I'd love for more of a focus on the anti aliasing modes, and with the popularity of resolution sliders that go above 100%, supersampling modes would be awesome too. This push for upscalers has finally brought improvements to terrible TAA technology. It's just a shame it's rarely given a high quality input.
-
Hey, can you make a video about lossless scaling ? Both upscaling and frame gen component.
-
Great job! Thanks for the in depth explanation. Have you tested this with Laptop GPUs?
