Following a less than stellar launch in Starfield, AMD's frame generation is facing an uphill battle against DLSS in the Last of Us.

Yea, I mean, people who‘d actually need DLSS (low end gamers) can’t have it anyways. FSR is a lifesaver on my GTX 1650. Made Hogwarts Legacy and Assassin’s Creed Valhalla go from unplayable at native 1080p to absolutely playable with reasonable framerates and it didn’t look much worse than native. Granted, I didn’t pixel peep, but who does, in a real world scenario?

I need FSR to implement DFR for my VR sim titles or I’m gonna have to switch to Team Green when the 5090 comes out.

What the hell is DFR?

Dynamic Foveated Rendering. It renders where you’re looking, using eye-tracking, at native resolution and everything else at lower resolution. It gives a decent performance bump.

Ah. I knew about foveated rendering but I‘ve never heared that abbreviation

We all need it depending on the context.

I believe at some point it’s not a necessity but only a nice to have. If I can run a AAA title at 4K60 medium or 4K60 high with DLSS or FSR, that’s not needing it. It is still nice but you could still enjoy the game without…

Well if we’re arguing subjectivity, then none of us “need” it. Either enjoy whatever you get without it or stop playing.
