I wonder what GTX 1070 being the weakest hardware on Nvidia's side to support FSR 2.0 means for Switch. FSR was sooner or later going to drop underpowered hardware, but I thought 2.0 would possibly make it on Switch (Is this out of the question now?)

I also don't know if Switch 2 will even be powered by an Nvidia GPU at all. Nvidia might get greedy with their prices and try to take advantage of Nintendo's potential want for a backwards compatible Switch successor. Resulting in either a pretty high price point, or Nintendo going AMD and ditching backwards compatibility altogether.

If FSR 2.0 will run on a GTX 1070, it will also run on a GTX 1060 or GTX 1050 Ti.

It's the same architecture with the same driver.

Just because AMD drew an arbitrary line for their recommendation doesn't mean that slower models with the same architectiure can't benefit (with lower 1080p settings or with 900p, 800p or 720p output.

And you conveniently don't mention that some of those are using quality mode: Going from 1440p to "4k". And the final result is still worse than dlss going from 1080p to 4k years ago. By the time fsr manages to handle 1440p to 4k perfectly, dlss will be close to converting 720p into 4k perfectly. If fsr ever manages proper 1080p to 4k conversions many years from now, dlss might already be flirting with 540p to 4k and 1080p to 8k conversions.

As a GTX 1060 6GB owner, I sure hope you're right and my PC can benefit from it without any weird workarounds!

Probably AMD didn't want to advertize FSR 2.0 for GTX 1060 GPU due to their high share on Steam.

GTX 1070 - 1080 Ti + GTX 16xx series are already more than 20% of the Steam hardware base. With GTX 1060 included, 30% of the Steam hardware base would benefit from FSR 2.0 (all GPUs of the competitor without DLSS access):

While only 5% of the Steam hardware base which will benefit from FSR 2.0 are their own GPUs. Even if they include the other Polaris GPUs (which I expect) and the R9-series (which won't happen) already twice of the competitors legacy GPUs would benefit from FSR 2.0 than their own legacy GPUs.

With GTX 1060 officially included, the ratio would be over 3:1 in favor of the competitor's benefit:

One thing I will say is people should keep their expectations in check until DF comes out with their comparisons. FSR 2.0 isn't an alternative to DLSS... It's an alternative to TAA upsampling which has been implemented in various games for a while. The benefits of that is that it can be implemented in a more wide variety of hardware but we have seen what TAA Upscaling can do and it's limitations. There's a reason why AMD is only comparing images that are being upscaled to 4k (and not 1440p) and why they aren't doing image comparisons against DLSS despite Deathloop having DLSS.

So while what AMD is doing with FSR 2.0 is fantastic, I would keep your expectations in check until we have DF doing their comparisons because whether it be AMD, Nvidia or Intel, they will always show their product in the best light.

I know it has DLSS?, I was saying that they should properly impliment FSR 2.0 once it's fully released. 

They already have FSR 1.0, but it's shit, mainly due to how CDPR's version of TAA works.

You say it'll take that much time, but we only just got patch 1.5 this year, while the game was released way back in Dec 2020, I wouldn't expect FSR 2.0 to be put into the game until later on this year, if not next year at best.

They can spare, they clearly made absolute bank from 2077 sales, they aren't poor, it's just a matter of "do they care to do it sooner rather than later?".

So Digital Foundry (kind of) made the first meaningful comparison between DLSS2 and TSR (via Unreal Engine 4 which was not supposed to support TSR?), and the results were great. In stills, they're VERY close (as opposed to TAAU being outclassed), but in motion DLSS2 starts showing noticeable advantages in a number of aspects as expected.

Curiously, the PS5 version used FSR1. We'll see if TSR gets any improvements from Unreal Engine 5, and how it'll compare to FSR2.

Not that surprising since AMD hasn't said that the PS5 supports FSR2. Which is odd since they announced old card of their main competitor do. But from all recent GPU only the PS5 one hasn't been confirmed as that it supports FSR 2. Perhaps Microsoft made a deal since they specifically did mention Xbox consoles. Its very doubtful and would lead Sony to Intel/Nvidia for the PS6, but possible in theory.

Well... FSR2 isn't available yet on any platform, what's curious is the lack of TSR on the PS5 version (instead they apparently went FSR1, which also isn't "officially" supported on PS5). I'm sure all three UE5 demos on PS5 were TSR reconstructed, so this might have to do with UE4's optimization.

TSR is supposed to be a UE5 feature and yet it's available on Ghostwire (UE4) PC but not PS5.
