Nvidia's DLSS has taken the market by storm, with its flagship RTX 4090 providing the best performance on gaming PCs to date.
AMD FSR is good for handheld gaming, but it is not superior to Nvidia's offering.
DLSS 3 has shown to push in-game frame rates above and beyond usual standards at higher resolutions with ray-tracing enabled.
However, upscaling methods should not be the only factor when deciding which GPU to buy, especially since plenty of games run great on AMD's Radeon GPUs.
AI-powered upscaling methods such as DLSS 4, FSR 4 and XeSS are becoming prominent factors in the future of PC gaming.
The worry is that game developers will release poorly optimized games and use upscaling methods as a quick solution.
Therefore, upscaling tools should not be the deciding factor for your GPU choice, since your GPU's power and hardware specifications matter the most.
AMD's decision to allow FSR 3 to be used on a wide range of graphics cards goes a long way in showing where its loyalties lie.
Although AMD GPUs cannot use DLSS, dismissing a purchase of an AMD GPU solely based on that is a poor choice.
If Nvidia allows DLSS 3's successor to be used with older GPUs, then users should not let this factor dictate their GPU upgrade decision.
