BF2042 is an Nvidia title that uses RTX Ray Tracing and DLSS. But DICE is open, so I'd expect FSR and sharpening will get added too
FSR is now live and can be tested
however, interestingly none of the games with FSR also have DLSS. Coincidence? Maybe I can go with that, until I saw the AMD review guidelines
AMD has sent out these guidelines to reviewers to ensure it doesn't get compared to DLSS, hopefully those sites call out AMD for it

As per the review guidelines they don't want anyone comparing FSR directly to DLSS so don't expect Cyberpunk to get FSR anytime soon
Dunno if this is related to FSR but also with today's driver everything pre GCN4 has been moved to legacy and that means no FSR for those cards because the new driver is unsupported and also Windows 7 is now legacy - that I can understand everyone should be on Windows 10 anyway. Some of those cards aren't that old though, I belive there are some 2016 AMD gpus that are now classed as legacy where Nvidia is still supporting GPUs back to 2012

could try Destiny 2, seems like it's fixed in the new driver - to quote a Reddit user post from 1hr ago "yay they fixed Destiny 2, can now use the controller and also my 6900xt is finally beating the 1080ti it replaced"
Apparently not in Anno18000 tho. It's the only game I've seen FSR tested in so far - the Ultra FSR setting AMD recommends runs no faster than Native and it's the only one with decent image quality, the other settings run up to 40% faster but degrade fast
Watched a few videos
mans the conclusion seems to be that FSR isn't bad and is better tha dlss 1.0. FSR however seems to work best when you get it higher resolution more so than dlss - as in dlss can work with less pixels than FSR can. FSR really want you to output 4k so it can get as many pixels possible, if you use FSR at 1440p,1080p,720p the image quality takes a big hit where as dlss works better at those low resolutions

What? That's not true. Many console games are using RT at 720p and no upscaling, you can use DLSS quality which is 1440p and upscaled to 4k. You telling me 1440p dlss to 4k looks th same as 720p? Aye bro... not only that but RT on consoles and PC don't even use the same settings, as per several digital foundry videos many consoles games are using RT that matches with the PC game's LOW setting
both will degrade the image at low resolution dlss just seems to hold up better. - like in control you can use dlss at 240p upscaled to 2160p and by all rights the game should look like a 1980 8bit NES game at that resolution on the 4k screen yet it's relatively very good and clear
Digital Foundry are the best in the business
Just like i predicted. All the ‘dlss sucks’ ‘its so blurry’ people etcetc are now praising the inferior ( just the reality ) FSR and claiming ‘cant see any difference vs native’. Just cause it’s AMD branded.
Need a clown emoji for cases like these.
Indeed it was super predictable
The DLSS .DLL files are interchangeable, just take the DLSS 2.2 .DLL file and copy paste into Cyberpunk and Death Stranding directory and boom instant image quality improved.
That's one thing thats cool about DLSS, the AI/DL model is stored as a .DLL file and that file can be applied to most other DLSS games without the game needing to be patched - so as long as the game supports DLSS, then whenever Nvidia releases a new version you can just update the game yourself
In the DLSS/RTX thread others were posting comparisons
Just tried the Riftbreaker demo.
The game doesn't have great graphics even at native which wasn't the greatest for comparison but never the less I roughly went through the various FSR presets.
Everything other than Ultra Quality looks noticeably blurry, however Ultra Quality didn't look too bad - it's still noticeable but it's not far away from Native and I'd use it on my TV - at TV viewing distance its impossible to notice the reduction in texture quality with the Ultra Quality setting but is noticeable on a PC monitor sitting at my desk.
The only other thing I could pick up on was that shimmering on the main character and on shadows was worse when FSR was enabled, where as they were there but nearly invisible on Native - I dont think FSR is introducing new shimmering, it's just making that existing shimmering more noticeable
So in summary, based on this brief test in one game - my thoughts on FSR is that the Ultra Quality setting is really good for TV gaming and I will definetly use it in games that support it when Im playing on my TV but I won't ever use it at my desk on my monitor. I think FSR for consoles will work great as most gamers use a TV

I guess though a true AI would be able to not only teach itself but to do so on the fly and making reasonable decision that can match or beat those of a human without knowing the rules or having easily definable rules - like chess as a game and like most games have very simple and easily defined rules, so you might be able to teach a smart gorilla to play chess at some rudimentary level - but Tesla no matter how hard they try can't get a car to self drive off road and make reasonable decision over changing terrain and with no rules that are easily defined.
If I give a robot a pile of bricks, not telling it what it is or what to do, will it learn to build a house for shelter? I think to do this the AI needs to have an understanding of what it is, what the world is and what it's place is in the world
Same here and we call them "AI" or machine learning but the reality is that we're just making a prediction model based on historical data, the software isn't intelligent, it has no technical or emotional IQ that I can measure, it's just getting more accurate and predicting an outcome the more historical data it gets - if we don't give it historical data it's useless and a human will beat it
