AMD releases Adrenalin 26.3.1 driver, adding FSR 4.1 support for Radeon RX 9000 GPUs
FSR 4.1 is based on the same tech as PSSR for the PlayStation 5 Pro
I saw DLSS 5 running across multiple games. It's not a face filter.
Ryan Shrout shares hands-on impressions of DLSS 5 as the internet debates Nvidia's AI graphics overhaul
Sounding off: I went hands-on with Nvidia's DLSS 5 across multiple games at GTC and the "it's just a face filter" isn't the right take. The improvements to shadows, water, foliage, clothing, and even a coffee maker in Starfield are just as impressive as the character enhancements. Here are my full impressions including some details on the dual-GPU demo setup and the developer control story that I think matters quite a bit.
Nvidia DLSS 5 first look: generative AI lighting radically transforms game visuals
"Photorealistic" AI lighting sparks immediate controversy
First look: Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang used his GTC 2026 keynote to unveil the next stage of machine learning-driven video game graphics, which substantially transforms lighting and the overall visuals of a game using generative AI. Although the company's demonstration showcased dramatic increases in detail in titles such as Resident Evil Requiem and Starfield, it immediately drew sharp reactions from users, many of whom compared the results to AI-generated video footage.
Testing AMD FSR 4.1: Sharper Images, But DLSS Still Leads
AMD's upcoming FSR 4.1 update promises clearer detail and less motion blur. We tested the new upscaler against FSR 4 and Nvidia's DLSS 4.5 to see how much image quality has improved.
DLSS vs FSR vs XeSS: Game Support Across 650+ Titles
We analyze over 650 PC games to compare DLSS, FSR, and XeSS support to reveal how far Nvidia, AMD, and Intel really are from each other in upscaling and frame generation adoption.
Intel rolls out XeSS 3.0 with multi-frame generation, but it's still locked to Windows
Smoother motion and sharper visuals, but native Linux support remains off the table
Nvidia GDC 2026 roundup: More path-traced games, DLSS 4.5 debut titles, and RTX mega foliage
Path tracing comes to 007 First Light, Control Resonant, Quake III... and Mirror's Edge
In brief: Nvidia is using this year's Game Developers Conference to outline the full launch of DLSS 4.5, add five upcoming games to its list of titles supporting path tracing, and offer an early glimpse at RTX Mega Geometry foliage. The company also provided an update on RTX Remix, highlighting this week's launch of a path-traced version of Quake III Arena.
AMD FSR 4.1 update leaks with big image quality gains for Radeon GPUs
Could land with AMD's next major Adrenalin release
Modders unlock FSR 4 support for Vulkan games with OptiScaler
OptiScaler 0.9.0 preview enables FSR 4 in Doom, Indiana Jones, and No Man's Sky
Death Stranding 2 on PC adds Guerrilla's Pico upscaler alongside DLSS and FSR
Reasonable system requirements: RTX 3070 required for 60 FPS gameplay at 1440p
Extreme upscaling: What happens when DLSS turns 38x22 pixels into 4K?
Pushing DLSS 4.5 to absurd extremes reveals how it rebuilds images
The big picture: Nvidia DLSS has been a divisive feature since its introduction almost exactly seven years ago. While some users accuse developers of relying too heavily on upscaling to maintain high frame rates, others praise its ability to reconstruct clear images from fewer pixels. Pushing the latest implementation to its limits helps reveal how it pulls off this feat.
AMD Just Made Another Radeon Mistake
AMD has an easy win sitting right in front of it, yet it's choosing not to take it. FSR 4 already works on older Radeon GPUs, so why is AMD still holding it back?

New feature switches between frame-gen modes within seconds
How Far Behind is AMD? DLSS 4.5 vs FSR 4 Tested
How well does AMD's FSR 4 upscaling perform compared to Nvidia's latest DLSS 4.5? Is AMD still relatively close to Nvidia in image quality, or has FSR fallen further behind? Let's find out.

Nvidia DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4: Good But Not Flawless
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 arrives with a new transformer model promising better image quality, but not without performance trade-offs. We test DLSS 4.5 vs DLSS 4 to see where this latest upscaler genuinely improves.
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 is now available to all, with improved image quality and higher GPU demands
The latest DLSS tech exits brief beta and is now live in the Nvidia App
Nvidia DLSS 4.5 improved visuals come at a 20%+ performance cost on RTX 30 and RTX 20 GPUs
Even RTX 4000 and RTX 5000 cards lose performance versus DLSS 4
The takeaway: One of the many announcements Nvidia made at CES this week was the arrival of DLSS 4.5. The latest version of the upscaling tech can be enabled ahead of its official launch, which many users have done. The good news is that you can expect a higher level of graphical fidelity, as Nvidia promised. The less welcome part is that it comes with a performance hit compared to its predecessor, one that rises to over 20% when using a previous-gen RTX 3000 or RTX 2000 GPU.

AMD FSR Redstone Looks Sharp on Paper, Plays Rough, Launches Broken
AMD FSR Redstone launches with big promises, but Frame Generation is still flawed and major features are locked to RDNA 4. If you expected a leap toward Nvidia-level tech, this will disappoint.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti vs AMD Radeon 9070 XT with DLSS and FSR Enabled
Upscaling on? Wondering whether to go RTX 5070 Ti or RX 9070 XT? We break down performance, pricing, and DLSS vs FSR to see which mid-range GPU upgrade makes the most sense.
