FSR 2.1 Cyberpunk literally unplayable

I can do better than that, enjoy some DLSS Quality flickering that doesn’t happen with FSR Quality in Cyberpunk. :cry:
This happens throghout the Night City world in various locations. Enjoy! ;P

Yeah but I'm interested in seeing how the double dipping of FSR/DLSS dropping res on top of Cyberpunk dropping LOD on that sign at that distance compares.
 
After this game ending FSR experience, I'm thinking it has to be an NVidia upgrade for me next.

I always side on the best bang for buck (with power efficiency and quietness in mind). I'm satisfied my 5700 XT was a decent buy for a mere £400 back in 2019 over the other choices available at the time (it has overtaken the 1080 Ti at least). But this FSR fail casts massive doubt about upgrading to something like a 7900XT. It's native or bust for AMD apparently. If this is typical and AMD cards must always be @ native, then that massively tilts everything in favour of DLSS capable NVidia cards.
 
Off the top of my head, I think I've only experienced FSR in a couple of titles (that I can recall, anyway). One was Quake 2, I don't think DLSS was available, at least at the time when I last looked. Despite there being nothing to compare it with in that instance, I thought it looked good, though maybe it was an easier title for it to tackle. The other was Amid Evil. That has support for both DLSS and FSR, and although it's been a while since I have looked at it, DLSS was clearly the better example. It was immediately apparent to me.

The implementation in Quake 2 RTX is closer to FSR2 than FSR1 as the game also uses its own temporal/motion sampling - still has some deficiencies around movement though - it does quite a nice job on most edges but some can have running pixels along them and texture details, etc. can't match DLSS.
 
Just curious what settings are being used and are you comparing the equivalent nvidia card. Might be worth having msi afterburner running to make sure your not running out out vram.

Both on the high preset, only difference is FSR Quality on versus native. VRAM doesn't look to be a problem.

Oh, I see that now.
Ironically I don't think it's displaying low res as such, I suspect it's exxaggerating some distortion made by the light in the sign.
This is a case of FSR2 amplifying noise instead of signal...
