DLSS is objectively better than FSR, FSR is just more compatible. This game uses a borked version of DLSS 3 though, you should manually replace it with DLSS 2.5.1 or 3.1.11 for 40 series cards.

interesting. i've seen multiple threads of people talking up FSR so wasn't sure. so updating the DLSS for a 30xx series card won't help?

DLSS 3+ is for framegen support, which is a 40+ series exclusive feature. For the 30-series you'll want DLSS 2.5.1, not 3+.

DLSS requires dedicated hardware, (tensor cores) so it's always going to be better than FSR that can run on anything.

all the people here saying FSR are just going off of hearsay and not actual experience, with this game FSR 2 looks and performs better than DLSS because of poor implementation of the ladder

It doesnt. DLSS gives my 3070 about 15fps boost in comparison to fsr

The latest version of DLSS 2 is under the .dll version 3.1.11 (2.5.1 is old) (just cuz it's 3 in the version number doesn't mean anything)

FSR just looks and works better than DLSS and that's a sad fact.

Let Tim from Hardware Unboxed shed some light on this topic... TLOUP1 is one of the first games compared. https://youtu.be/1WM_w7TBbj0

...said no one ever, except for you, which is just wrong... so totally wrong... and idiotic.

This is mainly because Nvidia started doing AI upsampling before AMD even had the idea, and AMD have been playing catchup ever since. Given that Nvidia now also have AI frame generation, AMD is struggling to even stay level with them.

Thats a negative. FSR looks markedly worse on my Nvidia 2060 Superin TLOU. However in a few other games I have better overall performance with FSR.

FSR2 it just works, DLSS2 however it only works if you pay Nvidia tax.

Totally wrong. DLSS2 takes a 1080p image and can upscale it to 4K and have it looking clean, clear and also antialias fine details from far away objects...
FSR takes a 1080p image and upscales hap-hazardly to 1440p... but with a ton of ghosting, streaks, and noise fizzling all over the place.

Sorry to say it, but you might pay more with Nvidia, but you get a lot more performance - especially in regards to ray-tracing, frame-generation and better upscaling.

You're basically paying more for a better quality piece of hardware. Deal with it.
