While Nvidia’s DLSS was proudly winning the tech battle, AMD’s FSR 2.0 is making its way. Today, the new version of AMD’s upscaling technology offers us the opportunity to discover 20 fully compatible games, for a much smoother experience, even in 4K.
FSR 2.0, better than Nvidia’s DLSS?
Launched with the RTX range from Nvidia and the RX range from AMD, video upscale technologies are on the rise and appeal to a lot of gamers.
The proposal is as follows: to be able to play at a higher resolution, such as 4K without losing performance. At Nvidia, the technology works through the power of Deep Learning, a specific use of Artificial Intelligence. At AMD, FSR 2.0 (FidelityFX Super Resolution) does not work like that. This is a temporal upscaling method created from different algorithms that greatly improves the sharpness of the image, even when stretched.
Strong point of the FSR 2.0, it is an Open Source technology, therefore fully compatible with Nvidia graphics cards.
As more and more games are added to the list of FSR 2.0 compatible experiences, AMD has announced a batch of 20 fully compatible with upscaling technology.
AMD’s blog article then shows us the performance achieved on the different games thanks to FSR 2.0. On an RX 6750 XT and an RX 6950, God of War (2018) can reach between 42 and 63 fps with the first GPU, and 66 to 96 fps with the second.
With this first benchmark on God of War, AMD also displayed the performance of Farming Simulator 22 which benefits from a very high framerate that can top out at 146 fps in performance mode, still in 4K.
God of War, Deathloop… A nice selection of FSR 2.0 compatible games
We jump to the heart of the matter with the 20 FSR 2.0 compatible games. Out of these 20 recently released titles, you will now be able to enjoy 4K resolution with very good performance.

Of course, AMD is taking advantage of the excitement created by the Summer Game Fest to announce this news. With the upcoming arrival of Grounded in version 1.0 and the Halo extension on Flight Simulator, there is no doubt that the manufacturer is having fun and wants to share its technology with as many people as possible.
As a reminder, AMD’s FSR offers 3 different modes. The “Quality” favoring graphics and sharpness, the Balanced which will adapt to your configuration to create a sharp image, but can adapt its resolution according to the desired framerate, and finally, the Performance, which can reduce the sharpness of the image in favor of fluidity.
Still slightly behind Nvidia, AMD is walking on the famous brand’s platform to offer alternatives to their technologies, which are often proprietary.
With the new announcements of games that will be made in the coming weeks, we do not suspect an extension of this list of FSR 2.0 compatible games. Especially the RX 9 7000 range that is on the horizon for fall 2022.
