AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution isn’t as good as Nvidia’s DLSS, but it’s good enough

The future of computer graphics is going to rely on clever hardware and software tricks to get the most power from processors. A good example is Nvidia’s deep learning supersampling (DLSS), which reconstructs an image from a lower-resolution source using machine-learning algorithms. Another, newer instance of this kind of tech is AMD’s FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR), which applies various sharpening techniques to also make a lower-resolution image look better.

But how does FSR stack up against DLSS? We can finally compare them head-to-head thanks to an update that brings FSR into Marvel’s Avengers. And the results are about what I expected.
