DLSS 3.5 vs FSR 3: Which One Provides Better Performance?
adminJanuary 10, 20250
If you’re a gamer, you’ve probably heard that NVIDIA announced version 4.0 of its Deep Learning Super Sampling DLSS technology with the GeForce RTX 50-series graphics cards. At the same time, AMD showed off a demo of FidelityFX Super Resolution FSR version 4.0 for its Radeon RX 9070 graphics cards. These technologies can improve graphics afghanistan telegram data performance and image quality, as DLSS relies on specialized AI hardware from NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs, while FSR is an open-source solution available for all graphics cards. Until DLSS and FSR 4 are released with the next-generation graphics cards, I wanted to see how the existing DLSS 3.5 and AMD FSR 3 compare. I used two entry-level graphics cards NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 and AMD Radeon RX 7600 in three games that support both technologies. Here's what I found:
Both NVIDIA and AMD offer powerful scaling technologies. However, they differ in terms of ecosystem and compatibility. DLSS 3.5 is exclusive to NVIDIA GeForce RTX GPUs, and its scaling requires specialized Tensor AI cores and an all-new ray reconstruction feature in supported games. Meanwhile, AMD’s FSR 3 is open source and designed to run on a wide range of GPUs, including older AMD Radeon models, many NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards, and even Intel GPUs. This broad compatibility makes FSR especially attractive to gamers with hardware that can’t run DLSS. In other words, anyone without an NVIDIA GeForce graphics card.
