Which is why you should use CAS or some other sharpening on native res when comparing that to FSR.Funny thing, I managed to set the slider to "100%", but it allowed me to enable FSR, so it's probably >99.5% at that setting.
I did some comparison shots and FSR has interesting behavior.
I have a twitter post going with a poll asking people to guess which image is which. I'm guessing the people here will be able to tell, as I noticed the more you know about rendering the more likely you are to figure out which one is using FSR:
I ask the people here to kindly not vote as I'm interested in what people who aren't from here think
Not in the same intensity.
Post processing heavily depends on resolution. Higher resolutions require sampling larger windows of pixels to achieve the same filter radius as in lower resolutions hence the difference in DOF. it's still here with TAAU, it's just that DOF shader samples different windows of pixels hence the different amount of blurring.
I find this also a reasonable thing as FSR is post-sharpening and creating local contrast in a heavy-handed way - equalising that with the native or other comparison shots when searching for "quality" seems reasonable.
It's reasonable because FSR has (R)CAS as a part of it's algorithm. Thus when you do something like 99.9%->100% upscaling with it as in the example shown you're basically doing sharpening.
Look at the character model. FSR successfully smoothed it to look far higher res. CAS wouldn't achieve this result.
Most obvious at the bottom of the character, the pants.
Sure as it will still do its "reconstruction".
But the sharperning part you can equalize.
And I'd also expect the upscaling shader to make it into Reshade - so you'll be able to run it on native res in any game.
Results should be pretty equal at this point.
There's a good chance post process effects mess with it too much and it will produce much inferior results as a reshade package.
As for the sharpening, FSR is surprisingly smart about it. HUB's video shows them trying to recreate it, and whenever they managed to match the sharpening on one part of the scene, another looked undersharpened or oversharpened compared to FSR.
I'm not sure I follow. All three of those images are the same internal resolution of 1080p and all are upscaling to 4K, there should still be no differences in DoF.
In what ways does FSR edge detection break without AA?
I would guess it might look like the Ps3 upscaler. (Works half decently on near diagonal edges, less so at pixel grid aligned areas.
And how do you create a fair comparison of the upscaling technique used without knowledge of the sharpening intensity utilised in FSR?
By comparing them with your eyes.
The eye comparisons posted so far show no injected or video edited sharpening filter available quite matches the look of FSR's sharpening. It appears to be an evolution of CAS, not CAS itself.
I haven't seen any such proper comparison yet. HUB isn't a source I consider reliable in these matters.
Cute

As they may be when comparing 1080p to 4k.
It's quite strange that sometimes camera fx like DoF are not tied to degrees in view, but to resolution of an image. (Or in some cases something is bugged with some features.
It can also be due to assumptions about screen size. At lower resolutions and smaller screen sizes you would want to blur less of the view.
They are the only publication whose FSR review results go against what I see in screenshots and videos with my own eyes. Cute or not.
Are those FPS normalized to 60/120FPS there? Why?
