I have a very strong Love/hate (mostly hate though) relationship with Nvidia, while they make cool tech like this they can be bothered to support even their prior generation of GPU. I game on a laptop with an RTX3070 which no doubt this tech would be useful for but no can't be bothered supporting a 2 year old products. Meanwhile AMD FSR2.1 is available for 7 year old GPUs and even Nvidia's ones. |
Yeah, Nvidia pulls way too much crap with proprietary tech. A decade ago it was PhysX they were pushing in games like Borderlands 2, with it being exclusive to Nvidia GPU's. Then it was HairWorks they were pushing in games like Witcher 3, with it being exclusive to Nvidia GPU's. Now it's DLSS they are doing the exact same thing with, except they're not only preventing it from running on AMD GPU's, but now they are abandoning their previous generation cards for DLSS 3 support as well, meaning that weaker GPU's from their previous generation which would really benefit from DLSS 3, such as the 3050 and 3060, can't use it.
I much prefer AMD's open source approach to things. Their TressFX competitor to Nvidia's HairWorks, open source. Their FSR competitor to DLSS, open source. It's a shame that more people don't buy AMD cards instead of feeding the Nvidia monster more money so that they can keep doing business as normal. They're never going to improve as long as they are the dominant market leader by a huge ratio. I bought Nvidia on my last 2 builds, but never again, going to get an AMD GPU next time, most likely the upcoming RX 7600 XT.
