Why does FSR still make no difference?

[ItzTheDay]

Strix 4080 | 5800X | 5120x1440
High settings, no ray tracing, no FSR: 131 fps
High settings, no ray tracing, FSR Quality: 132 fps
High settings, no ray tracing, FSR Balance: 132 fps
High settings, no ray tracing, FSR Performance: 132 fps

High settings, all ray tracing, no FSR: 65 fps
High settings, all ray tracing, FSR Quality: 65 fps
High settings, all ray tracing on, FSR Balance: 65 fps
High settings, all ray tracing on, FSR Performance: 67 fps

The only thing that changes with FSR is horrible picture quality.

Because FSR is AMD and you have an nVidia GPU. The game does not implement the nVidia equivalent and is written with backing by AMD.

FSR works fine on Nvidia gpus. The ♥♥♥♥ are you talking about.

[Sleeper Service]

Not on the Op's it seems. And I didn't say it doesn't work on nVidia, I said the NVidia equivalent is not implemented. That's what the ♥♥♥♥ I'm talking about.

probably still not fixed lol

Well for one, you dont appear to need FSR, so i would not use it.
It only make sense to turn on FSR if you get a big gain in frame rates
which you are probably only going to get if you enable dynamic resolution also
and i dont think it would be worth your effort.

Your FPS are going towards rendering the ultrawide resolution and its large pixel increase

I have the same "issue" on my 4090 / 7950x.

Native 4K max settings, no RT, 101 fps (with RT 61 fps).
4K FSR 2 Quality, max settings, no RT: 103 fps (with RT 59 fps).

My GPU isnt being fully utilized all the time.. So its probably because the CPU is holding back the GPU.

When the CPU is the bottleneck using FSR or DLSS wont give you any more fps.

With RT on, we know that the CPU really only fills up two cores.

I wasnt expecting there to be a CPU bottleneck also at native 4K, because I never testet it.

I would say that with RT on its poor CPU utilization from the developer.

At native 4K its probably also poor CPU utilization or its just a case of your CPU not beeing powerfull enough for the GPU.

My 4090 is to powerfull for my 7950x in many games at 1440p. And in some in 4K. Or you can say that my 4090 has exposed poor CPU utilizations in many games.

We need more powerfull CPUs and developers to be aware of Cpu underutilization.

Okay, except your statement implied that because FSR is AMD tech and OP is on Nvidia, that the difference somehow matters. See?

It doesn't.

The tech is platform agnostic. OP could have one of the intel arc cards and that facet wouldn't matter.

The game not having DLSS isn't relevant.

go set the game resolution to 640 x 480 and see what happens
(besides looking hella ugly)
You should start getting stupid stuff like this
(except not in the menu of course, about half that in game running round the colony)

I dont think your CPU itself is holding you back
now the game's engine (or implementation of) may be
they did kind of make it with the intention of 30 and 60 fps and i am not sure if they have really put anything into optimizing it to purposely run beyond that? just to try to maintain that.
Which i mean is fine given that it is a single player, not exactly shooter game.
That is normally what i run it at and freesync the monitor to it.
Makes it feel much smoother that going from 140 fps to 75 fps and back.
60 fps is smooth, when it is constant, banging from 140 to 75 and back may be higher FPS
on paper, but the effect is jarring, like slapping your brakes on the highway and eating the dashboard.

Nvidia users: LOL AMD cards don't support DLSS XDDD
Also Nvidia users: Why doesn't FSR work on my caaaaarrrrrrd T_T

Semi fair point
AMD could not support it if they wanted to, unless they enjoy patent lawsuits

Well, it does, if the card is slow enough to need it, though i suppose an nvidia user
could turn fsr off entirely and use their equivalent to RSR instead?

That's better, no need to start effing and geoffing all over the place at the slightest thing you misunderstand.

Live long and prosper

So, your statement served no purpose then. Good to know.

FSR work fine on my RTX4090, benchmark screenshots on my profile, maybe you have nvidia reflex active? I remember a similar issue with reflex...

Y'all are CPU bound, stop being so surprised.

Yes, my CPU cant make more than 345 fps
it's so terrible
