Cyberpunk 2077 proves AMD's DLSS rival can't come soon enough

This week, a Cyberpunk 2077 patch added ray tracing support for AMD's Radeon RX 6000-series graphics cards, loosening Nvidia's (worryingly) exclusive grip on the cutting-edge lighting features. But that came with a bit of bad news too, as Cyberpunk 2077 drove home that AMD's missing DLSS rival, dubbed FidelityFX Super Resolution, can't come soon enough. AMD introduced real-time ray tracing support in the Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs, after Nvidia's GeForce RTX 20-series graphics card brought the technology to PCs in 2018. Nvidia didn't just focus on ray tracing, however; it also rolled out a complementary Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) feature. DLSS leverages machine learning and dedicated AI cores in RTX graphics cards to render games at a lower resolution internally, then upscale the final image to your chosen resolution.
