Cyberpunk 2077: AMD FSR vs. Nvidia DLSS - FPS Boost Comparison

With patch 1.5, Cyberpunk 2077 gets AMD’s Fidelity FX Super Resolution, which can significantly increase the FPS. How does it fare in a duel with Nvidia’s DLSS?

This game has made quite the comeback lol

It shouldn't have had to. If they only waited a year the majority of the backlash would have been a non-issue. People would have bashed the last-gen versions still, but the next-gen versions would have been fine, and people would have went with the narrative that it's time to leave last-gen behind, instead of the actual narrative we got that this game launch as a complete mess.

But hopefully for them it ends up like No Man's Sky, and repairs the studios reputation, and hopefully they get this Witcher 3 upgrade out, along with an announcement of The Witcher 4 since the franchise is more popular than every now with the Netflix adaptation and "anime prequel".

Completely off topic, but now that I think about it, this is a studio that Sony should be looking at. Obviously they have talent in the genre, and outside of Horizon, Sony doesn't really have any Western RPGs and Horizon is pushing the limits of what fans would consider to be an RPG as it's realistically an open-world action game with RPG elements.

Sony is all about owning content that progress into multiple mediums. If Microsoft owns Elder Scrolls, Fallout, the Outerworlds, upcoming Avowed and Fable, Sony would be wise to buy the only available studio making the other big AAA Western RPGs, not to mention they'd want that profit off making "Witcher Movies" and animation (even though CDPR only owns the game rights).

CDPR is much more than just a studio though, I would be very surprised if they put their selves up for sale.

The same story.
FSR can provide more FPS, but also at the cost of a slight loss in quality at the highest settings or a highly noticeable loss in quality at the lowest settings, while introducing artifacts at times.

Meanwhile DLSS offers near comparable performance to FSR while generally maintaining if not improving performance, while introducing slight shimmer at times.

Obviously tif you have an NVIDIA GPU DLSS is the option, if you have an AMD GPU FSR is the only option. The good news is more performance is available regardless. Can't wait to see DLSS 3.0, FSR 2.0, and Intels XESS.

2022 should be the year when fsr is common for console games. Its been available a while now, some indie studios allready released games supporting it. Specially series s need it.

DLSS wins in quality. FSR wins in performance when comparing each equivalent setting. Overall DLSS has better efficiency (quality x performance) but of course that’s with custom silicone to get it done. Not a bad showing for AMD at this early state.

FSR is decent only in 4k for this game and maybe a little bit upto 1440p minus RTX. Anything below and get ready for a world of shimmering, blurriness, and minor vaseline lens effects.

DLSS is just amazing.

I played this on my high end PC (6800 XT, 32 GB RAM Ryzen 5800x) and the game has been absolutely beautiful and smooth as butter for me even before the patch so I've always loved the game but I can totally understand why it's a dud on lower end consoles and systems Some people with high end PCs have always appreciated Cyberpunk and what it was trying to accomplish.

However the blame still lies entirely on CPR for releasing a glitchy and unoptimized game for consoles and lower system spec computers.
