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?

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 accidentally leaks FSR 4 source code, teasing possible support for older Radeon GPUs
Cutting corners: AMD's FSR 4 upscaling is far more competitive with Nvidia's DLSS when compared to previous iterations, but it is not open source and only supports the company's latest graphics cards. A recent GitHub misfire has leaked plans to address those shortcomings and expand the library of FSR 4 compatible games.

Wuchang patch "optimization" may be forcing lower-res upscaling even at native resolution
A quick and deceitful way to "optimize" a game?
Facepalm: 505 Games, publisher of Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, has managed to pour oil on the fire of controversy surrounding the game by releasing a patch that apparently forces upscaling even when native resolution is selected. The game has been slammed on Steam for its poor optimization and forcing a lower rendering resolution even when scaling is set to 100%.
