Gaming GPUs were the main point of discussion back in the day but with an ever-changing PC ecosystem, the technology and features that these GPUs offer have become the newest talking point, and companies like NVIDIA & AMD are trying their best to offer the best to a large pool of gamers using their products.
The recent advent of upscaling technologies has changed the PC gaming segment as a whole. NVIDIA's DLSS and AMD's FSR are now considered vital tech & it's not just gamers who benefit from these but also game developers who are trying to make sure to get their latest titles to support the new technology. Recently, we saw NVIDIA and AMD talk about the adoption rate of the newest upscaling technologies so we decided to take a look at what that really means and which one of the two has a definitive edge over the other.
NVIDIA has had a head start in the upscaling tech segment with its DLSS technology which first made its debut in 2018. Although the actual prospect of the technology won't be realized until the second generation of the technology, aptly named DLSS 2, there were signs that the tech would be a game changer. A game changer was when DLSS 2 hit the street, prompting rival AMD to release its very own upscaling tech known as FSR.
The main difference between the two technologies was that NVIDIA's DLSS used a more AI-driven approach that leveraged its Tensor Core technology to upscale and enhance the frame over the native resolution while AMD used a more standardized GPU-driven approach with a focus on being more open-source and friendlier to devs. This was done to catch up with DLSS's adoption rate which had the aforementioned head start. FSR also introduce a hardware-agnostic path which made GTX and RTX GPUs utilize
