It's a shame because the $ to raster performance ratio is a lot better for AMD. Yet their market share is still so low. You would imagine their execs have to understand the reasons why the market isn't buying AMD? But they still appear to be neglecting the software side. Still no indication of a ML based upscaler to compete with DLSS, for example. And it's not like they lack the funds to throw at this problem.
- jhasse 3y agoAMD has a "ML based" upscaler called FSR. What exactly do you mean by "ML based" though? Note that since DLSS 2.0 Nvidia no longer uses a per-game trained neural network.
- hackerlight 3y agoI mean neural net-based. FSR uses traditional algorithms. It's a lot worse than DLSS, although how much worse varies from game to game.
- jhasse 3y ago> It's a lot worse than DLSS, although how much worse varies from game to game. Source? According to this https://www.custompc.com/amd-fsr-2-vs-nvidia-dlss-2-comparison https://www.custompc.com/amd-fsr-2-vs-nvidia-dlss-2-comparis... it's only a bit worse: "However, the results were closer than this might suggest, with both upscaling modes often doing a decent job and delivering very similar levels of image quality. It was just the final 5% where DLSS 2 was that bit better."
- hackerlight 3y agoKeep in mind that there's no objective way to determine how much worse FSR is. If FSR has slight shimmering and DLSS does not, is it "slightly worse" or "much worse"? I think that comes down to one's tolerance for shimmering artefacts, which may vary depending on whether you're playing for 5 minutes in order to compare, or whether you're playing for hours/days. The social sentiment on Reddit r/AMD and elsewhere seems to be that FSR is noticeably worse, and that aligns with my personal experience.
- nl 3y agoTo provide the full context from your own link, the sentence before says: > And the end result? Nvidia’s DLSS 2 comprehensively beat FSR 2, coming out on top in almost every comparison and generally exhibiting less ghosting and other visual artefacts while preserving more detail.
- machomaster 3y agoGo to youtube, search for comparison tests and see for yourself.
- kkielhofner 3y agoThe tragedy is their hardware is excellent. If I were on an AMD hardware team I would be (mentally) screaming at the software side of the house daily. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to design and deliver such capable hardware only to have the software render it practically unusable.
