    fsr 4’s algo was enabled on rdna 4 via hardware changes. people will argue that it works on rdna 2 & 3 via a leaked int8 path, often leaving out that:

    • it’s not identical in terms of visual quality (even though it does often improve upon 3.X)
    • most critically, it doesn’t generally offer the same level of perf uplift to make it worthwhile (though there are a handful of very good cases)

    I suppose I’m kind of opinionated about the whole upscaling and mfg ‘meta’ of (mostly) pc gaming today, but I find it sad that this is what end users clamour for, rather than for games to just not run like shit to begin with.



  • what’s wild is that you’d post this in Linux gaming (rather than a generic Linux message board), where technologies like display independent VRR, scaling and HDR become increasingly relevant.

    Wayland is the standard today, in that

    • The xorg development team moved directly on to it
    • It’s the default for major distros and desktop environments

    Arguing about this is an exercise in futility.

    If you’re not trolling, I’m genuinely sorry that you’re wasting time and effort down in this rabbit hole occupied by shitty pundits preying on young, impressionable minds, claiming they wish to ‘strip the politics away from software’ when they’re busy doing the direct opposite of what they preach.
