Nvidia DLSS, AMD FSR, and Intel XeSS have all become very confusing, and it can be hard to make head or tail of all the various different technologies bundled into these suites. As a general rule, the purpose of DLSS, FSR, and XeSS is to improve performance in your games, particularly when you enable demanding graphical features such as ray tracing. All of them offer a way to upscale resolution, for example, where a game will keep all the text, menus, and HUD at your chosen resolution, but render all the 3D graphics at a lower resolution to speed up frame rates, then use some form of upscaling
Best GPU 2026: Nvidia and AMD graphics cards tested | Club386… Like Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata leverages Capcom’s latest RE Engine to deliver realistic lighting effects on cutting-edge hardware using ray tracing and path tracing. It also offers most upscaling methods, including DLSS and FSR, as well as ray reconstruction and frame generation. …
… Considering that this preset uses hardware-accelerated ray tracing, while offering a smoother experience, the requirements are completely reasonable. …
… Also, AMD’s GPUs notably struggle with advanced ray tracing techniques such as path tracing. That’s not a major issue at this price, as you really need at least an RTX 5070 Ti to run path tracing, even at 1920×1080, but it’s an area where AMD is still behind. …
… For starters, it features Nvidia Ray Reconstruction, which combines DLSS upscaling with an AI-powered denoiser optimised for path-traced lighting. This significantly accelerates performance compared to raw path tracing, all while fixing some of its visual limitations. …
… In 3DMark, the Arc Pro B70 is up to 52% faster than the Arc B580 in rasterised rendering, and it’s still a healthy 36% ahead in ray tracing. …
… The game is perfectly playable with Ultra High settings ray tracing but not path tracing at 1920×1080. …
… I know I wouldn’t mind some ray tracing eye-candy to add to my democratic arsenal. …
… That means you still get a GB206 chip based on the Blackwell architecture, with 4,608 CUDA cores, 36 ray tracing cores, and 144 Tensor cores. …
… The Ultra ray tracing preset looks and performs great, though. …
… Another top result is F1 25, which I ran at Ultra High settings with ray tracing but without path tracing , and no DLSS. …
