Key Takeaways

  • Upscaling technology is necessary to display lower resolution content on high-resolution displays, but it's a complex problem that requires maintaining image quality while introducing few if any visual errors.
  • NVIDIA DLSS offers the best image quality and performance but is limited to RTX GPUs. It also includes a frame generation feature to increase apparent frame rate for certain RTX cards.
  • Intel XeSS provides great image quality and wide support, but the performance boost may be limited on non-Intel GPUs. It doesn't currently have a frame-generation feature. AMD FSR offers wider GPU support but has the worst image quality compared to DLSS and XeSS.
