Mind you, there's no evidence to support this beyond Nvidia's own marketing material. The primary argument (or rather, assumption) from those who opposed our choice to use FSR believed that DLSS is something Nvidia's accelerating using their Tensor cores and therefore DLSS will be faster than FSR on GeForce RTX GPUs. It was troubling to see low effort posts with no evidence or any real information getting upvoted, while those explaining both sides of the story were heavily downvoted. This community post then led to multiple Twitter threads, essentially calling us out for using FSR on GeForce GPUs. Thankfully, the majority of viewers agreed with our decision, but even so the results were fairly split. On the HUB community, I made a community post, addressing some of the misconceptions around the topic and ran a poll. So, in order to avoid all those potential issues, we felt testing both GPUs with the same open-source upscaling technology was the best option.Īfter the RTX 4070 Ti vs Radeon 7900 XT shootout went live, we saw many comments complaining about how biased the test was as we didn't use DLSS, despite mentioning in the article that in terms of image quality DLSS is superior to FSR, and the reason that we used FSR for benchmarking to keep the comparison as apples to apples as possible. In other words, we didn't want to run tests on any game where FSR looked noticeably worse than DLSS, while also providing greater frame rate performance to the Radeon GPU. We know that DLSS is the superior upscaling technology, generally providing better image quality, and we also know that in terms of FPS performance GeForce GPUs tend to perform much the same using DLSS and FSR.
In fact, our main concern was not to provide AMD with a potential performance advantage. Given we're trying to accurately compare frames per second performance, we always like to keep the testing as similar as possible.
The next decision we faced was: which upscaling technology to use? The options included testing GeForce RTX GPUs with DLSS and everything else with FSR, or to keep it as apples-to-apples as possible, so test everything using FSR. Since are not expecting anyone to game at 17 fps, we felt the upscaling data would be more useful, even if it's not truly showing 4K performance.įor a better representation of image quality comparisons, check out the HUB video below: In our test, there were a few games like Cyberpunk 2077 which are actually a good showing for ray tracing, and in this specific example we saw frame rates dip well below 30 fps on the RTX 4070 Ti at 4K, but with upscaling we could get up over 40 fps.
#BENCHMARK TEST GPU REDDIT UPGRADE#
Despite that fact that every time we poll your interest in ray tracing, the data generally comes back looking very bleak for the technology - seems like most of you still don't find the visual upgrade significant enough to warrant the massive performance hit, but that's a separate matter. When we recently compared the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti and Radeon RX 7900 XT head to head in 50 games, we decided to include a lot of ray tracing-enabled results, as games using the added effects have continued to gain ground and become an important aspect of GPU performance. But the good news is, we can now set them straight, which we're sure won't help to avoid this sort of thing in the future, but it will provide the rest of gamers with some useful benchmark data.Ī bit of back story first. Sarcasm aside, what we thought was a reasonable and fair approach to tackling an issue, kicked off a violent controversy that escalated to abused levels over on Reddit with countless users claiming things they simply have little or no knowledge of. Even though actually one game enabled FSR by default, so we guess we can only be directly blamed for that horrible thing we did in 5 of the 50 games tested, but that's no excuse.
we benchmarked the RTX 4070 Ti using FSR, in 6 of the 50 games we tested. At least that's what Steve was told by well-informed folks over on Reddit. A horrible, biased, and frankly unforgivable thing.
