Nvidia’s DLSS is an obvious choice over AMD’s FSR, but this shouldn’t dictate your GPU buying decisions x

It goes without saying that Nvidia is the dominant force within the GPU market. The RTX 4000 series has taken the market by storm, with its flagship graphics card (the RTX 4090) providing the best performance on gaming PCs to date.

With the long-awaited RTX 5000 series announcement now on the horizon, all eyes will be shifting toward Nvidia’s hotly-anticipated RTX 5090 and what DLSS 3’s successor has to offer. Team Green’s upscaling method has been a formidable tool for RTX 4000 series users – particularly for those not using the high-end overkill (and overpriced) 4090.

While I love AMD and FSR 3.1, especially with what it’s done for handheld gaming PCs like the excellent Asus ROG Ally X, it would be quite naive of me to suggest the upscaling method is superior to Nvidia’s rival offering. DLSS 3 with Frame Generation has been shown to push in-game frame rates above and beyond usual standards at higher resolutions with ray-tracing enabled.
