Nvidia DLSS Frame Generation vs. AMD FSR

I’m wondering which is better—DLSS FG or FSR FG?

I’m particularly interested in the opinion of gamers who have an Nvidia GPU and have tried both.

I have a 4070ti OC, so I just activated DLSS FG without thinking twice. But now it occurs to me that FSR might actually be better. At least, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it.

For me, both work equally well.

try and see for yourself, obviously dlss is better

For me, both work equally well. That’s why I’m asking here if any of you have had different experiences.

dlss is better even on an amd card such as mine the rx 6600.

@QuantumTyphoonZ

How do you get DLSS on an AMD card? (Clue: you can’t) Do you mean TAA?

TAA is better than either DLSS or FSR from an image quality and artefact perspective.

DLSS/ FSR MAY drive better performance. On my 9070XT both FSR and TAA drive about the same performance but TAA looks a bit better.

DLSS works with OptiScaler even von AMD cards. I am using it.

That’s not DLSS.

DLSS uses nVidia Tensor cores that are physically located on the card and proprietary nVidia tech. Those tools intercept DLSS calls and use a different upscaling tech.

8

In other words, pseudo-DLSS.

The topic is about framegen, not upscaler.

From what I’ve read, one advantage of AMD’s framegen is that it also works on a multi-monitor setup.

Still - you are not using DLSS anything on AMD. it’s all tied to nVidia hardware and cannot be truly replicated using and AMD card.

Possible. I‘m honestly no expert.

DLSS works better than FSR tho in comparison.

You are referring to anti-aliasing, not to be confused with Frame Generation. DLSS is a choice for both AA and FG.

Correct. A lot of people confuse ‘DLSS Upscaler’ with ‘DLSS Frame Gen’.

I can use DLSS on my nVidia 3090 Ti because it works on all RTX-series GPU’s.

However, I can NOT use DLSS Frame Generation on that card, because it ONLY works on RTX 40xx and 50xx GPU’s.

And neither DLSS technology will work on an AMD GPU.

I beg to differ, TAA looks more BLURRY to me, on my sys DLSS (310.4) with DLAA at my res of 5120x1440 and MFGx4 is awesome and looks far better than any other settings i have tried.

But only if you have a fast Graphics sys, TAA is better for less powerful systems

I agree!

DLAA looks better than TAA on my system.
Also, DLSS Quality gives me much better performance than DLAA, and I can hardly tell the visual difference. It ends up as 4K on my monitor, and the upscaling is excellent.

These are my settings, although I seek compromise between quality and reduced power / temp:

  • TAA render scale of 80 on 4K screen
  • (note: TAA allows scaling whereas DLAA uses monitor resolution)
  • Max Frames 33
  • Frame Generation x2 using DLSS (targeting 66 FPS)

FSR blacks out my gaming laptop. (nvidia one). DLSS does the job for me

So, once again for everyone: my question was solely about frame generation and not about upscaling!

But I still enjoyed reading everything else too :smiley:

Topic drift is hard to avoid sometimes - especially when nVidia uses the acronym DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) to refer to both their scaler and frame generation, and even moreso when one will work on all nVidia RTX cards, and the other only on some.

I’ll go away now. :laughing:

I get best results with nVidia Multi FG
