The rivalry between Nvidia and AMD is endless, however new battle traces are forming across the firms’ competing approaches to border technology tech. AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution 3 (FSR3) lately went open supply, permitting modders so as to add it into video games that don’t natively help it. It seems that this can be a actually good factor in case you have a barely older Nvidia card since FSR is platform-agnostic and higher than earlier variations of Nvidia’s DLSS — DLSS 3 is exclusive to the RTX 40-series.

In one demonstration of Cyberpunk 2077 (noticed by VideoCardz.com), with an Nvidia RTX 3080 operating AMD’s FSR3 through mods and many of the sport’s punishing visuals set to their most, the native DLSS implementation handles the in-game benchmark at roughly 40 frames per second. The older, official FSR 2.2 can do about the identical. Upgrading to the modded FSR3 construct from LukeFZ can increase the framerate to a stunning 71 FPS, as measured by YouTuber Neegzm’s diagnostics.

It’s a powerful enchancment, although not an ideal one. The uploader notes that precise gameplay exhibits notable instability and that the HUD parts flicker whereas taking part in. Even so, such outcomes from an early construct (solely out there to LukeFZ’s Patreon helps for the time being) are promising, particularly for these of us with older {hardware} who really feel a bit left behind from the newest whiz-bang visuals.

WCCFTech managed to seek out at the least one software from a GitHub uploader, “Nukem9,” that’s each free and at the least technically able to being utilized to any sport that helps DLSS whereas operating on an Nvidia GPU. Installation will be tough and outcomes spotty, however the preliminary enhancements over official instruments are spectacular.
