Yes, fuck all this frame generation and upscaling bs.
From personal experience, I'd say the end result for framegen is hit or miss. In some cases, you get a much smoother framerate without any noticeable downsides, and in others, your frame times are all over the place and it makes the game look choppy. For example, I couldn't play CP2077 with franegen at all. I had more frames, but in reality it felt like I actually had fewer. With Ark Survival Ascended, I'm not seeing any downside and it basically doubled my framerate.
Upscaling, I'm generally sold on. If you try to upscale from 1080p to 4K, it's usually pretty obvious, but you can render at 80% of the resolution and upscale the last 20% and get a pretty big framerate bump while getting better visuals than rendering at 100% with reduced settings.
That said, I would rather have better actual performance than just perceived performance.
Eh I'm pretty happy with the upscaling. I did several tests and upscaling won out for me personally as a happy middle ground to render Hunt Showdown at 4k vs running at 2k with great FPA and no upscaling or 4k with no upscaling but bad FPS.
Legitimate upscaling is fine, but this DLSS/FSR ML upscaling is dogshit and just introduces so many artifacts. It has become a crutch for developers, so they dont build their games properly anymore. Hardware is so strong and yet games perform worse than they did 10 years ago.
I mean this is FSR upscaling that I'm referring to. I did several comparisons and determined that it looked significantly better to upscaling using FSR from 2K -> 4k than it did to run at 2k.
Hunt has other ghosting issues but they're related to CryEngine's fake ray tracing technology (unrelated to the Nvidia/AMD ray tracing) and they happen without any upscaling applied.
Too bad FSR will be AMD hardware exclusive from here on out
I wouldn't say fuck upscaling entirely, especially for 4k it can be useful on older cards. FSR made it possible to play Hitman on my 1070. But yeah, if I'm going for 4k I probably want very good graphics too, eg. in RDR2, and I don't want any upscaling there. I'm so used to native 4k that I immediately spot if it's anything else - even in Minecraft.
And frame generation is only useful in non-competetive games where you already have over 60 FPS, otherwise it will still be extremely sluggish, - in which case, it's not realy useful anymore.
