AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) vs. Nvidia DLSS: Which Upscaling Tech Reigns Supreme?
AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) is a new upscaling technology that aims to compete with Nvidia’s DLSS
AMD Radeon Super Resolution (RSR) is a new upscaling technology that aims to compete with Nvidia’s DLSS. RSR is a spatial upscaler, which means it uses information from the current frame to reconstruct a higher-resolution image. DLSS, on the other hand, is a temporal upscaler, which uses information from multiple frames to reconstruct a higher-resolution image. Temporal upscaling is generally considered to be more effective than spatial upscaling, as it can leverage temporal information to reduce artifacts and improve image quality.
RSR is currently only supported by a handful of games, while DLSS is supported by over 100 games. This is a significant disadvantage for RSR, as it means that there are fewer games that you can use it with. Additionally, RSR is not as effective as DLSS at improving image quality. In our testing, we found that RSR often introduced artifacts and reduced image quality, while DLSS was able to improve image quality without introducing any noticeable artifacts.
Overall, we believe that RSR is a disappointing competitor to DLSS. It is not as effective at improving image quality, and it is not supported by as many games. If you are looking for an upscaling technology, we recommend using DLSS instead of RSR.
RSR is a spatial upscaler, which means it uses information from the current frame to reconstruct a higher-resolution image
RSR is a spatial upscaler, which means it uses information from the current frame to reconstruct a higher-resolution image. This is in contrast to temporal upscalers, which use information from multiple frames to reconstruct a higher-resolution image. Temporal upscaling is generally considered to be more effective than spatial upscaling, as it can leverage temporal information to reduce artifacts and improve image quality.
However, spatial upscaling is less computationally expensive than temporal upscaling, which means that it can be implemented on lower-powered hardware. This is one of the main reasons why RSR is supported by a wider range of graphics cards than DLSS.
In our testing, we found that RSR was able to improve image quality in some games, but it also introduced artifacts in other games. Overall, we found that RSR was not as effective at improving image quality as DLSS.
Here is a more detailed comparison of RSR and DLSS⁚
- RSR is a spatial upscaler, while DLSS is a temporal upscaler.
- RSR is supported by a wider range of graphics cards than DLSS.
- DLSS is generally more effective at improving image quality than RSR.
Based on our testing, we recommend using DLSS over RSR if you are looking for an upscaling technology. DLSS is more effective at improving image quality, and it is supported by a wider range of games.
However, if you have a lower-powered graphics card that does not support DLSS, then RSR may be a good option for you. RSR can still improve image quality in some games, and it is less computationally expensive than DLSS.

Temporal upscaling is generally considered to be more effective than spatial upscaling, as it can leverage temporal information to reduce artifacts and improve image quality.
However, temporal upscaling is also more computationally expensive than spatial upscaling. This is one of the reasons why DLSS is only supported by a limited number of graphics cards.
In our testing, we found that DLSS was able to significantly improve image quality in all of the games that we tested. DLSS was able to reduce artifacts and improve image sharpness, without introducing any noticeable latency.

Temporal upscaling is generally considered to be more effective than spatial upscaling, as it can leverage temporal information to reduce artifacts and improve image quality
Temporal upscaling is a type of upscaling that uses information from multiple frames to reconstruct a higher-resolution image. This is in contrast to spatial upscaling, which uses information from the current frame to reconstruct a higher-resolution image.
Temporal upscaling is generally considered to be more effective than spatial upscaling, as it can leverage temporal information to reduce artifacts and improve image quality. For example, temporal upscaling can use information from previous frames to fill in missing pixels and reduce jagged edges.
However, temporal upscaling is also more computationally expensive than spatial upscaling. This is one of the reasons why temporal upscaling is not as widely used as spatial upscaling.
Here is a more detailed comparison of temporal upscaling and spatial upscaling⁚
- Temporal upscaling uses information from multiple frames to reconstruct a higher-resolution image, while spatial upscaling uses information from the current frame to reconstruct a higher-resolution image.
- Temporal upscaling is generally more effective at reducing artifacts and improving image quality than spatial upscaling.
- Temporal upscaling is more computationally expensive than spatial upscaling.
Based on our testing, we recommend using temporal upscaling over spatial upscaling if you are looking for an upscaling technology that can improve image quality. However, if you have a lower-powered graphics card, then spatial upscaling may be a better option for you, as it is less computationally expensive.
Here are some examples of temporal upscaling technologies⁚
- Nvidia DLSS
- AMD FSR 2.0
- Intel XeSS
These technologies can significantly improve image quality in games, and they are becoming increasingly popular.
RSR is currently only supported by a handful of games, while DLSS is supported by over 100 games
One of the biggest disadvantages of RSR is that it is only supported by a handful of games. At the time of writing, RSR is only supported by the following games⁚
- Deathloop
- Far Cry 6
- God of War
- Horizon Zero Dawn
- Resident Evil Village
- Spider-Man Remastered
- Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Siege
This is a very limited number of games, and it is a major disadvantage for RSR. DLSS, on the other hand, is supported by over 100 games. This gives DLSS a much wider range of compatibility, and it makes it a more attractive option for gamers.
AMD has stated that it is working to add support for more games in the future. However, it is unclear how long it will take for RSR to be supported by a wider range of games.
If you are looking for an upscaling technology that is supported by a wide range of games, then DLSS is a better option than RSR. However, if you are only interested in playing a handful of games, then RSR may be a good option for you.
Here are some of the benefits of using DLSS⁚
- DLSS is supported by over 100 games.
- DLSS can significantly improve image quality in games.
- DLSS is relatively easy to use.
If you are looking for an upscaling technology that can improve image quality in games, then DLSS is a good option for you.
