[FourWheelDrift]

AMD have announced that their FidelityFX Super Resolution (their version of Nvidia's RTX only DLSS) is supported on Nvidia GTX 10xx series GPUs.

Wow.

Let's see how it actually performs - There's precious little info about how it actually works.

I get the impression it's just another upscaling algorithm which has been developed to take advantage of FP32 instructions found on modern GFX cards but it would be interesting if they've come up with something totally new.

But looks bad.

Unless the can get close to NVIDIA in terms of image quality then it's dead in the water.

Edit to add: proof will be the general release but based on their own screens shots, it's meh.

DLSS was bad when first released though too.

Agreed, but why come to the table late with something bad?

DLSS is well established and does give good results for both image quality (for the vast majority) and performance. AMD has to deliver similar to have any chance.

And Nvidia got panned for it .... but that was a couple of years back with the first RTX20x0 cards.

They (or rather the buyers of the cards) kind of took a hit on their price/performance because Nvidia wanted to get RT and DLSS established, even though nothing supported it at the time.

But that has paid off for Nvidia now as, 2 and a half years down the line, we start to see more and more titles start to use the tech and the latest gen of cards offer decent performance (if they weren't effectively unavailable of course).
